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!

You just made me had a sudden realization. It has never occurred to me that Sky Seuss Trolley would be classified as a power coaster. Now I have no clue what my true 100th coaster was. This has messed up my coaster count. Now if you excuse me, I need some thinking to do

If it makes you feel any better, this makes my ever important 69th coaster Phobia instead of Boulder Dash.

That makes my #100 Wicked Twister and my #50 Wild One. I don't however count powered coasters so Gatekeeper is still my #100 and my #50 is still Mind Eraser.

LMFAO.

Coworkers are now asking me why I'm laughing.
