tiger01 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Some British Dude rode the Big Dipper at BlackPool For 1000 hours non Stop which is over a month. What if he needed the toilet!!! Theres a Plack in the station Above the Tunnel. Anyway it's cool that he rode it so many times in one day! Was it a 24 hour thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimster Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 The article doesn't say, but this guy says he rides Jackrabbit at least 20 times every time he visits Kennywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightbeawannabe Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I wish I could ride coasters when/if I'm 78. About the Brit guy- He got a 10 minute break every 2 hours(?)r something like that to eat and use the toilet etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeMango Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Only video I saw was for the Sky Rocket. Looks pretty cool - wish it was there last year when I was at Kennywood! It works for me. It's one or two videos to the left of the Sky Rocket one, depending on which one you are watching. That is a pretty impressive time, considering over 2 hours of that were spent physically on the ride, plus waiting in the line. He didn't wait in line. He got on at about 11:10 AM. He got off around 4:45 PM. He was a little wobbly when he finally got out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetopia2 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I would consider endurance on a coaster an accomplishment when it is done on: Vekoma Boomerang, Giant Inverted Boomerang, Invertigo -Vekoma + Backwards x many times = (x.x) Spinning Coasters -Especially the WTF kind like Comet Express Extremely Short Kiddie Coaster -You'd be bored to death. Rough Woodies -Get an ambulance ready Zamperla Volares -Why would you do that Stand-Ups -Challenge even for females Otherwise, I would love to do something like this But I do acknowledge the guy's age... wow.. 78.

palmerleeberry Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 "What? A 78-year old man rode the Jack Rabbit Coaster 90 times in One Day?" "He's my Coaster Hero!" A quote from coastermoosh: You know what they say: you don't stop riding because you get old; you get old when you stop riding "Right on, man!" "You know what you should be riding now? The comfy pillow on your head ride!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
