What should be my 50th coaster?

This won't be until next summer, but when i make my 2005 trip to cedar point, I plan on going to gauga lake while I am up there. If the announcement on the 10th of november is a hyper, ill ride that for my 50th, but if not what should it be?

Dominator or X-Flight?

I'd say ride X-Flight since flyers are still a little more rare than floorless and personally I like it just a little more than Dominator.

I loved the dominator. I did not care for x-flight. Hell make the villain your 50th!

I think you should ride Beaver Land Mine Ride.

I'd say X-Flight. I love that sense of flight, and it's a more unique experience then what Dominator gives.

For milestones I'd stick to classics: Double Loop.

I overlooked coaster #50 for myself, but something tells me I took in my 50th coaster at Six Flags Ohio, I'd like to say it was Big Dipper. That is an ACE coaster classic, it runs NAD trains (which aren't too abundant), and besides, it is a truly enjoyable ride. I recommend choosing that as your #50.
To my recollection; coaster #100 and #150 stand out for me. #100 was Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. #150 was Leap the Dips at Lakemont Park. (I should note I count coasters by attraction, so Racers are not 2, Dueling Dragons is not 2, the same as RCDB) Currently I am 197, with my most recent addition being Boss at SFSTL, which I must add is amazing. I hate on gerstlauer trains more than your average enthusiast, but they just seem to work on that coaster, and work very well.
#200 is very important to me, and I do not want to screw it up. I could have broken 200 by going to Carowinds instead of SFSTL (and it is even closer to my house, too, by 70 miles) but I'm saving #200 for a really special wood coaster, not a GCI. #198 will be Zeus, #199 will be Cyclops, and #200 will be Gravity Group's new woodie HADES. The construction photos are sick, and I know Larry Bill and his masterminds will not let us down.

If they have a dragon wagon, ride that.

It really doesn't matter. If you're worried about this, then perhaps you're a little too obsessed with your track record.

I have no clue what my 50th coaster was, in fact I'm not even sure which park it was at. When I go to new parks, I don't keep track of the order I ride the coasters.

My 50th coaster was Anaconda at PKD, but I didn't plan for it or anything. If you really care, I'd say Big Dipper. Great Coaster, very classic.

I think you should ride X-flight for your 50th coaster. My 50th coaster was TTD at CP.

I agree, I wouldn't want people to know I obsess about coasters so much.
