krouvi Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 He's a robot, lol. 10 hours sure is alot, I probably wouldn't last 10 rides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanTS Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I hate drop towers. I'm sure I wouldn't last 3 rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmouse Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krouvi Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Tes, Drop Zone is NOT a drop ride it's a Top Scan or Top Buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gborish Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I hate drop towers. I'm sure I wouldn't last 3 rides. I like how your avatar is a drop tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riddler Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 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.)

krouvi Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I wouldnt survive 10 minutes in a Top Scan or this other swing ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 How about 10 hours on a round up? That would be a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCoasterny Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
