Ever Been The Only One On A Ride?

[vekoma_fan]

I rode Kanonen at Liseberg once all by my self, almost didn't make it over the tophat

Riddlers revenge at SFMM after tatsu media day.... Best zen ride ever!

[csikoth]

I rode last year Millenium Force with about just 2 clicks of the yellow lap bar.

[Fire2box]

I rode Terminator at SF:MM on the very front with just me and my dad's girl friend. I was worried there wasn't going to be enough weight on the train for gravity to get the train back to the station. Not sure why I forgot that rides are designed to complete runs under just their own weight. <_>

I was the only rider on Flashback at SFMM a few times. Never saw many people on the ride so not a big shocker that I rode it alone.

I agree with the guy who said that Mean Streak is better with nobody on it. I had 3 cycles in the morning and for some reason that sticks out in my memory as a special moment for me as far as coaster memories go. I thought the ride rode better than other rides I've had on mean streak. I'm not a Mean Streak basher, I look at it as more of a upper level family coaster.

My favorite all time ride with nobody on it was Kumba a few years ago at Halloweekends. Me and a friend of mine who plays for the Buccaneers were on it ( in different rows because I mean hey, he is a Center in the NFl so there wasn't much room) and we got 2 rides in. Very cool ride, the roaring Kumba.

I've had quite a few Raptor trains to myself in secession on a May weekday during PointPerks rides and a front row TRIMLESS ride on Gemini this past Halloweekends during a Sunday.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I rode Revenge of the Mummy at USH three times as the only rider. Awesomeness

[Sons of Sam Horn]

I believe I may have been the only person in the country riding a coaster at one point. It was on a Friday at the end of January in Primm on Desperado, High Roller was long gone by that time and Manhattan Express was down and I went for a series of solo rides just before midnight.

 

Unless for some reason SPEED was open an hour later than normal, or Disney did something after hours, there is a distinct likelihood that I may have been the countries solo coaster rider at the time. Just one of those weird things that I thought was cool.

I've ridden several alone. The raft going to and from Tom Sawyer Island, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Runaway Mine Train, SFOT log ride, El Conquistador, Peter Pan ride, WDW Tea Cups, Mini Mine Train, Spee-Lunker Cave, Spindletop, Spinnaker, Wed-Way People Mover, Journey Into Imagination, Haunted Mansion, and the Chaparral Cars.

During ERT on Intimadatour last year, I was the only person on a whole train on Griffon.

 

It was Zen-like

[gisco]

Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe. During ERT of the 2010 UK trip. Multiple times. This is why you do trips with TPR!

[IrishBuckeye]

Ive been the only one on Snake River Falls at CP, on a rainy day.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

Giant Dipper at Belmont when I was about 8 or 9, and Space Mountain at HKDL about 10 days after it opened.

[GriffyTiffy]

My 100th ride on Batman at SFGAm was a solo ride. It was bizarre!

[tiger01]

I havn't ridden a ride alone. However, for me the best solo ride would be the two back seats of a wooden coaster alone or with one of your best friends! That would be cool!

[ImmelMatt]

From when I got my Little Dipper credit at SFGAm:

 

[Moose]

When I went to Hungary a few years back, my friend Alissa and I were practically the only people in Vidampark and had every ride we rode to ourselves.

[alpengeist04]

I've had many solo rides through the years, but I would have to say the two I've had the most rides on are Kumba and Dueling Dragons. ...Including getting two solo rides last Tuesday on Kumba. As for DD, while everyone else is either lining up for the wand shop or Forbidden Journey, I usually head right to the Dragons and get 3 or 4 rides on each side before there's any kind of line.

 

I actually do the same with ROTM. While everyone runs to Rip Ride Rockit', I'm getting a half dozen walk-on rides in before I have any kind of wait.

Demon Drop at CP

Jurassic Park at USF

Ultra Twister at Ikoma Skyland, Japan

Avalanche at Timber Falls

Comet at Cascade Park

[Erik Johnson]

I have had a solo ride on The Incredible Hulk in the back row. The ride runs really horrible with light trains. I also had a solo night ride on Jaws at Universal Florida. That was quite strange as the ship captain does the whole spiel even for just one person. I also had fireworks as well during the ride.

[dominoes]

Black Buccaneer at Chessington. That was fun.

#foreveralone

[Dragon Khan]

YESSSSS ! And what a ride ! I had my exactly 100th ride (at night) on my all time favourite Dragon Khan in 2007 (agreement with a friendly operator... YES, this exists even at Port Aventura)

[MrSum1_55]

Viper at SFMM, Monte at Knott's, and (not a coaster) Revolution at Knott's both at the last WCB. Viper was during ERT, but Monte and Revolution I rode just after opening, when all the crowds were still at Ghostrider and Silver Bullet. On Monte, I rode in the back, and I rode Viper in 7:1. Solo rides are always more fun in the back, as you can see all the empty seats as you go through the elements.

[ECZenith]

When I would go to Vegas I would usually have Speed The Ride all too myself.

 

Also, every morning I would test ride Indiana Jones Adventure and BTMRR when I was a ride operator there. A show check is part of the preopening safety checklist, and to make sure all the sound and special effects were working properly. We do this alone to ensure the most quiet ride, so we can focus on the show elements as we go by them.
