Roller coaster riding is my all time favorite way to spend my time. I do most of my riding at Cedar Point. I make somewhere around 10-15 trips a year to Cedar Point, and visit other parks 1-2 times a year. Of all the parks I have visited, Cedar Point is still my favorite.
After visiting as many parks as I have, people begin to add on to their UCC's (Unique Coaster Credits). A person gains one UCC per roller coaster they have rode. A roller coaster may only grant you one UCC though. I have earned a total of 43 UCC's in my coaster history.
Of the 43 different roller coaster I have rode, I definitely have some favorites. Some of those include Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Raptor, Diamondback, Raging Bull, X-Flight, and American Eagle. Even though I have many favorites, my top one is Millennium Force. I like it so much that I have rode it over 150 times!
One of the best things for coaster enthusiasts is going to a coaster event. I have attended somewhere around 10 different coaster events, with one being this past weekend. At coaster events, enthusiasts get to enjoy behind the scenes tours, Question and Answer sessions, buffets (Cedar Point's fried chicken is the best), and ERT (Extended Ride Time). During ERT, rides will be open before or after a park is closed to the general public. This past weekend, we had 2 ERT sessions. The first one took place on Friday night from midnight to 1am. The ride that was open was Millennium Force. I personally was able to get 11 rides in the hour ERT. The second ERT session took place on Saturday night from midnight to 1am. The ride that was open was GateKeeper. During that session, I was able to get 5 rides, bringing my total up to 14 rides on this new roller coaster.
Coaster riding is my favorite hobby. I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do.
