When finally riding HangTime at Knott's a couple of weeks ago I realized that I've been on every roller coaster that's run there, even those that are defunct. How many parks can you say that about?
Here's my list:
Knott's Berry Farm - Everything, including both Cycle Chase and Wacky Soap Box Racers, and Timberline Twister in Camp Snoopy (which has a generous height restriction, as long as my sneakers don't have too much padding in the sole).
Disneyland - Everything. Granted there aren't a lot of coasters there, but I've been on all three versions of the Matterhorn vehicles (original single sleds, 1978 double sleds, 2012 double sleds with single seats) on both sides; both Space Mountain tracks (1977-2003, 2005-present) and trains (original before and after sound retrofit and new trains with built-in sound), as well as both standard soundtracks and the original "silent" version; and both BTMRR tracks and trains (1979-2013, 2014-present).
DCA - Easy, since there's only two.
Close, but no cigar: SFMM - I've been on all the "big kids" rides (even those that were only there for a few years and/or had spotty operations) but only one of the four kiddie rides (Canyon Blaster, from Miler) so I can't count the Mountain.
