Catalog
How the catalog works
CoasterTrak is a credit tracker first. The catalog exists so you can log unique rides, see leftover credits at a park, and keep clone installations at the park you actually visited — not so we can republish encyclopedia articles.
- Parks
- 283
- Coasters
- 1,370
- Countries
- 33
- Operating / defunct
- 1,065 / 305
Counts are from the public CoasterTrak catalog, refreshed at least hourly.
What the catalog is for
Each park page is a planning sheet: operating versus historical rides, tallest and fastest catalog stats we have, and a list you can mark as ridden. Each coaster page is a credit target — log it once after you ride, then use the park list for leftovers. That is the unique service. Wikipedia and Wikidata are sources, not the product.
Start on parks, coasters, or the Discover map. If you are new to tallies, read how coaster credits work.
How records are compiled
Weekly syncs pull park and ride identities from Wikidata. We then match parks, drop incident and duplicate pages, and apply known corrections when a listing points at the wrong park or a closed clone of a still-operating ride. Photos and optional background text may come from Wikipedia. When Wikidata includes an RCDB identifier, ride pages can link out — we do not import RCDB measurements or copy its write-ups.
The same ride name at two parks is two catalog rows. That matters for credits: logging Ride of Steel at Darien Lake should not consume a closed Maryland installation, and Superman: Ultimate Flight clones stay attached to the park you visited.
What we still ask you to check
Lineups change. Third-party sources are sometimes wrong. Treat CoasterTrak as a planning aid and confirm operating status, height restrictions, and closures with the park before you travel. If a listing looks wrong, email hello@coastertrak.com with the park, ride, URL, and what should change — details are on the contact page.
Questions
- Where does CoasterTrak get park and ride data?
- Park and coaster records are compiled mainly from Wikidata, with photos and optional background text from Wikipedia. When Wikidata includes an RCDB identifier we may link out to that entry. We do not scrape park websites or import RCDB stats.
- Do catalog pages copy Wikipedia as the article?
- No. Park and coaster pages lead with CoasterTrak lineup facts and how to log leftover credits. Wikipedia extracts, when present, sit in a labeled background box so they are not the unique content of the page.
- Why can two parks have a ride with the same name?
- Clone hardware and reused names are common. CoasterTrak stores a separate catalog row for each park installation so a credit at Six Flags Darien Lake is not the same row as a closed ride of the same name at another park.
- How do I report a missing or wrong ride?
- Email hello@coastertrak.com with the park name, ride name, the page URL if you have it, and what should change. We review reports against public sources and apply known corrections when a listing is a duplicate, an incident page, or a clearly wrong park link.
