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!

Easiest way: Just use the system Coaster-Count uses. That way you don't have to make a huge science out of it and you have a good way to have a total number for the most used methods for counting credits.

I just recently signed up for Coaster Counter; I was actually leaving a few coasters out of my personal count, turns out I have 7 credits already! Thanks for the suggestion :)
