Record breaking : 10 hours on the Belgian Drop Zone ride

[krouvi]

I am a big fun of this guy site about ride movies from Europe.

 

He's so into it that he just made a world record riding a Drop Zone ride (Top Buzz) for 10 years. As his site in Flemish I mailed him and got more information.

His name is Robin he lives in Belgium and a big rides fun. He added a movie about his record in the site and you can view it from Here .

He's a robot, lol.

 

10 hours sure is alot, I probably wouldn't last 10 rides...

That would hurt soooooo bad after a while. Once durring ERT at SFOG we rode Acrophobia about 7 times in a row. By about the 5th time it started to hurt really bad. I can not even imagine 10 hours.

I hate drop towers. I'm sure I wouldn't last 3 rides.

I hate drop towers. I'm sure I wouldn't last 3 rides.

 

Judging by the video it wasn't on a drop tower but a Top Scan.

[krouvi]

Tes, Drop Zone is NOT a drop ride it's a Top Scan or Top Buzz.

I like how your avatar is a drop tower.

And Drop Zone isn't the only attractions where Robin break a record.

Last may, he has a world record on the Eclipse, a Mondial Capriolo.

Also 10 hours nonstop on this ride, and he made that too.

 

Photo's of Eclipse can be seen here: Photos record Eclipse

 

(Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what I mean.)

I wouldnt survive 10 minutes in a Top Scan or this other swing ride.

[ginzo]

How about 10 hours on a round up? That would be a feat.

[verticalzero]

I can't do 10 mins let alone 10 hours on a Drop Ride. I hate them and come of "shaking" and look like i'm in shock.

[RCoasterny]

Uhh.. like everyone else have said, the "Drop Zone" is actually a Mondial Top Scan. It is not an Intamin 2nd generation drop tower!

 

 

Now imagine riding PCW's (what should we call it now? CW? CFCW? ) Shockwave 10 hours straight, with the only breaks during the load/unload part.. Click on the video in the first post- it shows the guy riding the ride itself, as well as having some chinese food while locked in the restraint. He's sitting on the outermost seat, on the blue row. You will notice that they changed the colors of the turbolites on the back of the seat to show where he's sitting during the challenge.
