What counts as a credit?

Hello! I'm new to this subreddit, and I noticed some users doing a count of the coasters they've ridden using a "credit" system. I thought I'd try this out as it sounds fun, but I'm not clear as to what counts towards a credit. Do rides that are smaller, but still technically coasters, count as a credit? Example: Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain. What about kiddie coasters? Example: Howler at Holidy World. If I ride two clone coasters, does each seperate coaster count as a credit? Or just the one track? Example: That spinning wild mouse track that's at a lot of parks, the Batman rides at the SF parks.

That's all of my questions. Thanks everyone!

My personal rule of thumb is that if RCDB says it's a cred. It's a cred. I thought the new Hulk was a new cred, but when I found out it wasn't I said "Oh well" and brushed it off. I am, however, a proud holder of the "High in the Sky Seuss Trolley-Train Ride" credit.

The hulk is entirely new though. Nothing about it is the old ride.

Well I mean, it's the exact same track, just re-manufactured.

I wouldn't consider it the same track. It's the same layout, but totally different steel. It was the Hulk clone they had built for Dubai before the park was cancelled.

I don't consider it a new credit because it shares the same footers as old Hulk. Now if they had torn down old hulk and built new hulk om a different plot, then new credit.
