Does it roll? Does it coast? Is it on a track, and by that I mean a track with 2 sections either side of thhe spine for wheels to run along?

Based on the above:

RMT - No
Arthur - No
Tubtwist - Unsure
Snales - Unsure
Test Track - No
Poseidon - Yes
Atlantica - Yes
Caliber - No, it's a water slide.
Cobra - Unsure, leaning more towards yes.
RC Racer - Yes

Now if only there was a way to change my initial votes... @Craig.

Not possible in the current version of the forum I'm afraid!
 
BUMPing an old thread here...

Recently, Coaster-Count.com have added all Zamperla Disk'o Coasters (the ones with the hump in the middle) to their respective parks. The standard Disk'O models have not been added. Personally I'm still not sure if I would count them as a cred, despite my general rule of thumb being "if RCDB or Coaster-Count list them, they count".

What's everyone's thoughts on this?

I don't count them either. It has a track but not really a train/car which is why I don't.

I also definitely don't count butterflies as coasters. But I count old water chutes like what Blackpool use to have

A few years ago during a period of down time at Test Track the cast member was keeping us entertained with questions about Disney World. One of them was

what’s the slowest roller coaster at Disney World, the answer. Spaceship Earth. Most of us disagreed with the answer but apparently it is classed as a roller coaster.
 
I was under the impression that Disney went out of their way to insist they do not own any "roller coasters" at all, but rather "roller coaster type rides"? ;)
