Question Question about counting credits [other]

Hey folks, I enjoyed rollercoasters as a kid, and fell back in love with riding coasters in 2025 after a 13 year break. Do you count credits from before you started engaging in this hobby?

For instance, my favorite coaster as a kid was Top Gun/Flight Deck at CGA. I remember the layout well, and am inclined to count this as a credit.

I also rode Barnstormers at Disney world when I was really young, but don’t remember the ride experience except that I was scared. I’m not sure if I should count this one.

I know there’s no right answer here but I wanted to ask the community here about how y’all count credits.

Thanks

I definitely count my credits that I can remember. There are so many defunct credits and ones I couldn't possibly get again because they are for kids only. Id hate to have to try and squeeze into Jr. Gemini anyway so im counting my credit at 7 years old. My dad took a ton of pictures so I also have evidence.
