map2 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I am surprised this guy is not an ACEr, I would think someone who loves rding roller coasters this much would be part of the organization. I was just wondering to myself, how does he still keep going at it? I would get bored after 10 rides or so, . Well if it makes him happy then I am all for it, even though I probably could not do what he is doing at his age and not get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Oh, make no mistake, he's often seen with a faded black ACE shirt. He's a real ACER's ACER! Also there was this other guy who whould ride Ghostrider with a stopwatch and announce everytime he returned to the station weather it was running fast or slow that day. I wish he'd do that for the crew instead of the coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 This guy is actually a cool cat... for being a coaster nut! He was a regular when I worked on Raptor. Him and Raptor Dave rode all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 yeah they really do use to term "coaster nut" to its full potential. ANd make us look like part time hobbiests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrappa Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Geeze some harsh people come out on here!! There is absolutely nothing 'wrong' with Richard. He is a harmless guys who obviously has nothing much else in his life and gets great enjoyment out of riding his coaster. I think it is probably right to say he's not quite 'all there' but he's pretty with it. I've been to Knott's twice, 2003 and 2004. Both times I saw Richard there. The first time we had a good chat and stuff and I spent a fair bit of the day riding with him. I was happy to see him back last year when I went back and I chatted to him a bit again and grabbed the empty seats with him for much of the day. I love Xcel too, in my 2 visits I have wridden it 90 times. In a week or so when I come back over, hopefully I can add to that total and meet up with Ricard again.

socalMAN123 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Honestly, I think it would be pretty cool to ride Xcelerator every day. Yay for Intamin! ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4718 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 This reminds me of someone else, a guy at SFMM who always hits Thrill Shot and Dive Devil. His name's William, and he's a real nice guy who just likes to ride them both at least twice a month. He's probably also the recordholder for Dive, with like 400 or so rides over the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo1tx Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Sounds like the dude that shows up at SFMM every once in a while, Flumee I've heard people mention Flumie before. Apparently he goes to amusement parks and loves riding the log flumes, he's become a legend of sorts. He should enter that CP contest to be the last rider on WWL. Meanwhile, that Xcellerator guy. :shock: I'm sure he's a good person, but that kind of freaks me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminJ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Must be related to Haybayler Man at Geauga Lake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XANAX: The Ride Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 He started asking about a long lost single white boat they used to have there, confused the heck out of all the employees but her. Well? If the manager person wasn't confused, I am assuming there is a LONG LOST WHITE BOAT, no? What is the story behind that? Is/was it some sort of "marker" boat? I am more interested in the boat than people with OCD riding coasters! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I heard of this one dude that has rode Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point like 40,000 times Robbie"im being serious"Milburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro X 230 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Do they let you stay by the train, and grab open seats on Xcelerator, after you ride, if you're by yourself? I know some parks are like Nazi x 10 about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Vampire Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Mmmm, I wonder, what would happen with that Xcelerator man, if the park decide to close the ride down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 That guy obviously has a lot of time on his hands. BTW, once went on ATMOSfear (a drop tower) at Morey's Piers, they guy sitting next to me said it was his 334th time riding ATOMSfear in one day. --gaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I doubt the ride even runs that many times in one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I heard of this one dude that has rode Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point like 40,000 times Robbie"im being serious"Milburn Yeah, I've seen this also. I saw on a discovery channel special about Cedar Point, and they showed "Magnum Lady." She has tatoos of every Cedar Point coaster on her back and arms and loves to ride Magnum. The weird part was, she actually seemed fairly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
