VF15 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Wow. If he had 20,000 laps on Xcelerator back in early 2007, he's got to have at least 40,000 laps by now, maybe 50,000. I can understand marathoning a ride a bunch of times if you really like it, but seriously, as much as he does? Does he ever take a break to go on some of the other coasters in the park, even occasionally? If not, then that's just sad. I'm also not a fan of him circumventing park rules. He should just wait in line like everyone else.
coasternut Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 ^ Yes, he's broken 40K. He occasionally rides other rides at Knots, but that's his favorite. Nothing wrong with that...
prozach626 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 ^ Didn't you just read?! There IS something wrong with that. "He circumvented the rules."
YoshiCraft2011 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Xcelerator is an awesome coaster, but 40K times? Gee, this man was crazy. Roller coasters get boring after a while, so I'm surprised.
DanTheBooker Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Do you think in 2015 we should start calling him Rougarou man? Just sayin....
coasterlover420 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 According to a lead at Xcelerator, Mantis Man told her that Iron Colossus is happening. Than that probably means it's not.... LOL
Genx24 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Wow, I really hope I don't encounter this guy when I'm there in a couple of weeks. I'll most likely be riding Xcelerator alone, I don't want to sit next to some loon.
cfc Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Do you think in 2015 we should start calling him Rougarou man? Just sayin.... Only if he's wearing a Rougarou t-shirt.
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Xcelerator is understandable, but here's Mean Streak Henry, he rode Mean Streak 13,000 times since the opening. He must has titanium spine and bullet proof skin. Source
VF15 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 13,000 laps on Mean Streak?! What is going through that man's mind? Why would he choose to marathon Mean Streak constantly when there are such better coasters in the same park? If he doesn't have some sort of physical or mental injury by now, he probably will soon.
coasternut Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I was at Knotts today and rode with Richard. He's at 40,500 rides. Don't worry about him, he's harmless. He's kind of like "rain man." I don't know how he does it, but you can tell him a date, and he can tell you what day of the week it was. I enjoy riding and talking with him... That's just me...
Tanks4me05 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 ^^If you don't ride directly above the axles, it' actually quite smooth, if not too exciting.
cfc Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 ^If you don't ride it at all, it's even better.
iloveblueberries Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I was at Knotts today and rode with Richard. He's at 40,500 rides. Don't worry about him, he's harmless.

Ah yes I used to have a friend like that with the dates thing. It's one of the coolest things that comes with some mental illnesses.
robbalvey Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Sooooo...is Mantis Man gonna change his name to Rougarou Man?
Jew Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^The mental image I have is of him screaming "Rougarouuuuu" in a fashion similar to Jumangi.
SFMMGeek27 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^The mental image I have is of him screaming "Rougarouuuuu" in a fashion similar to Jumangi. Favorite post of the day!!!!! This before every single dispatch on both Xcelerator and Rougarou out of the loud speaker!
