Numbers 251 to 300
|
|
This is an
ongoing record of the roller coasters I have ridden.
I've numbered every roller coaster to show the order
which I rode them in. I've also put an extra number in
brackets. This number is the coaster count of English
roller coasters I've ridden, as I thought it would be
interesting to keep track of that in this log as
well.

Force Against a Swift
Current
Yanxi Lake, Beijing |
|
The first
3 of this next 50 saw me doing some of the most obscure
coasters I've ever done. This one is debatable to if
it's a coaster or not, but due to the high speed while
coasting around the corner I would count this as a water
chute coaster.
It's at a park called
Yanxi
Lake which I'd not even heard of until my Chinese
guide recommended it. Finding this new park and this new
coaster was a very nice surprise.

Spinning Coaster
Tianjin Water Park |
|
This was
another obscure park, that wasn't even on the Roller
Coaster Database until I reported it. It was my 12th
spinning mouse coaster, at a great mid sized amusement
park.

Jungle Mouse
Tianjin
Zoo |
|
Only a
short walk from the above coaster is Tianjin Zoo, which
has it's own small amusement park area, including this
ride. Not only is it obscure, it had to be one of the
most run down coasters I've ever done, although it was
still good fun.

amusement parks in Poland, which let me add a few new rides to my count. |

to the longer theme park season in Spain we were able to travel to
Madrid in November 2010, to visit the City and two major parks in the
area. |

instead it entered at number 11. |

Flamingo Land |

After
what was a quiet first half of 2011 I made up for it in
July with two big trips one after the other. One was
based in Yorkshire and Lancashire, and strait after that
thanks to a cheap flight deal I made a trip to
Dusseldorf. |

Having less than a week before done a
park I'd not done for a decade I found myself doing a
coaster I have been wanting to do for almost as long, in
the form of the near legendary Olympia Looping.

Van Helsing's Factory
Movie Park Germany |
|
|
The first park after
the fair was Movie Park, Germany. I started the day with
a bit of a mad rush as at this point I had my 300th
coaster picked out, and knew I needed to do everything
here. The first was their new coaster for 2011, a great
themed enclosed coaster called Van Helsing's Factory.

The next
day I got the train over to Holland to spend the day at
Toverland. Normally I would have headed to the big
signature coaster to start with, but I needed to do 3
other rides first. |

After a few scares, waiting for two
coasters at Toverland to start again after a huge
downpour of rain I finally got to do my 300th coaster.
It was great to such a major ride for my 300th coaster,
and a relief after worrying I'd miss a coaster and not
get to do this as my 300th for the previous 2 weeks.
