jdawg1998 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (I'm starting this post over because it was a mess before). What is the longest you've gone without riding a certain ride? This doesn't include rides in Planet Snoopy or rides that are defunct. The longest I've been without riding one is Firehawk, with my last ride being in 2010.

The Interpreter Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It took me several visits over several years to ride Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain. When I finally successfully snuck up on it, it made me a very happy guy. Not only was it a much better coaster than its reputation would lead you to believe, but with that ride I had then ridden all the USA operating wooden coasters at the time. Williams Grove Cyclone also took me years to get. At the time, I lived about seven hours from it. It'd be closed when I would get to the park. This happened numerous times. One time, the park's phone operator assured me it was running. When I got there, a small tree was growing through the lift hill track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Required some thinking for me. The longest time spent off of a coaster at KI would have to go to...Firehawk. Haven't rode it since May 24, 2012. Also, I've never been on Backlot Stunt Coaster. Somehow I didn't get as interested in it as I did with most other coasters. But I will ride it someday. The longest I've spent off of a coaster overall (out of the ones I rode already) would go to Viper, Predator and Boomerang at Darien Lake. I hadn't visited that park at all since 7/25/2011. All the other parks I've been to besides DL (including KI) have all been visited this year (2012).

CoasterOhio Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Firehawk, Although I just road it yesterday I haven't ridden it before that since April 28th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I was going to answer Son of Beast, but then I saw your double edit, haha. Suddenly I can't remember if I first visited Coney Island (Cincinnati) and Stricker's Grove in 2008 or 2009... Regardless, Python, Tornado, and Teddy Bear are it for me, whether or not it's been 3 or 4 years since I last rode them. If we're talking about the time between wanting to ride a ride and actually riding it, like Terp did in his post, it's probably been a decade since I saw X at Magic Mountain on TV and thought it looked pretty cool.

The Interpreter Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Terp physically showed up at the park again and again, but couldn't ride as the ride was not available. There are many coasters I'd love to ride again but haven't ridden in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Drop Tower 2006 Invertigo 2006 Diamondback 2009 Firehawk 2009 Viking Fury 2011 (that makes me sad!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Everything at Cedar Point for me. Haven't been there since June 2011. Every other park that I've ever been to has been visited since then. Tornado and Teddy Bear at Stricker's would be next on that list (October 2011), but I'll be there two weeks from today. A return to Cedar Point will have to wait until sometime next year.

tuxedoman52 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not counting Cedar Point I'd have to say Firehawk or Adventure Express. Great topic btw!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Flying Ace's Ariel Chase, sometime around 2005 and Drop Tower from 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have been fasting Backlot Stunt Coaster these days. I don't think I have ridden it at all this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The longest?? We'll probably Woodstock Express (Fairly Odd Coaster)........I just don't really make it over there to Planet Snoopy very often...I haven't ridden that coaster since July of 2010....

BB1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Tom Cat Taxi, I dont know the name of it today, but I rode it back in 2000 at the latest. Basically it would have to be the flight deck, which I last rode since last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I constantly re-ride everything, so it hasn't been long. For me, its Gemini, with my last ride on August 3,2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh boy, get ready for someone who doesn't get to go to Amusement Parks much... Hoosier Hurricane, Indiana Beach. Have not ridden since the summer of...1999. Yep. And it's still there, and operating too, so it counts... At Kings Island, it would be...Backlot Stunt Coaster. I enjoy the ride, but only rode it once, back in May 2010. Ever since, the lines have simply been too long for it (it's not the best ride for capacity in the park) and we skip it. I've also only ridden Invertigo ONCE, and that was back in October 2010...so it would be second. My most recent coaster, BTW...The Beast. May 5th, 2012. 11:30PM (yeah, it had a long line and did not close early for some reason, possibly because it didn't open until 2PM that day due to some sort of repairs or something it needed...) Full Moon, too. It was a great ride, but I'm wanting to ride more coasters bad...but cannot due to financial restraints. Sigh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faeriewench Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Dunno if I'm doing this right? The longest I gone without riding anything is 6 months. If its about certain coasters well its been almost a decade since I've ridden half of CP's stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm going on 2 and a half years. Check mate. I win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had quite a break (several years) from any coasters, which was torture for me. But since I started keeping track of my rides (2010) my longest hiatus is currently still growing- and it is of the beloved Top Thrill Dragster. I haven't ridden that ride since opening day of last year, and I do not know why. Probably a combination of down time and long lines... This needs to change soon. I miss that ride.

Vortex Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Last time I rode Firehawk was last year. Would like to ride more but the people I go with don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The longest amount of time I have gone without riding a roller coaster is 6 months. Thrill ride is 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have not rode ANY ride since 2005. With all the screws and rod in my cervical spine, I will not ride any roller coaster. But my last coaster that I rode was the FOF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 For me, it would have to be Cedar Point's Mine Ride, from 2002-2012. It's not a coaster, but I haven't been up the Eiffel Tower since 1998(!). I really should go up there again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 At KI, Firehawk (2011) for non-coaster, non- Planet Snoopy, high thrill attraction Drop Zone (2010), regular attraction the carousel when I was 5-6-ish? (1999-2000?) If I did at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
