Eagle Rider Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 As far as I know the current record for the most continuos rides on a roller coaster is held by Richard Rodriguez who rode Expedition Ge-Force for 104 days. This beat his old record of riding the Boss at SFSTL for 100 days. The Boss is my hometown coaster and if I ride multiple times I am bruised and have a headache. That just means I need a beer break before more coaster laps. So my question to all you fine TPR folks: If you were to attempt to break Rodriguez's record, what coaster would you want to ride for 104+ days? My choice: Raging Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 My vote would go to Tower of Terror at Dreamworld. Seriously, getting pure speed and very pure airtime for 104 days or more is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 well mine would have to be Mr. Freeze at six flags over texas I already been on it 37 times in one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Enthusiast Response: Superman Ride of Steel at SFNE Surviving 104 days on a coaster practical response: a small flat kiddie ride with an accomodating train, a specific one doesn't come to mind. What are the details about these records, did he have to ride the coaster for so many hours a day, did he have meal, toilet breaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Mummy at USF! I love that ride, and you'd get lots of rest during the dark ride part! Oh, and I'd do Expedition Ge Force in a second too!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Probably a forceless B&M... Medusa at Marine World comes to mind... Ah man I was so comfortable on that when I rode it... BTW what is up with the new smileys... They are freaking me out... <- That one especially... <- What kind of smiley is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Goliath Jr. I'd just let it run and read a book or use my laptop or sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd set a record on Apollo's Chariot if I was of the mind to. It'd be easy to marathon that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Something really smooth, painless, and boring. But seriously I would not want to do that. I would imagine the guy would go insane after going through the same pattern of motion for thousands of times in a row. That and it would totally kill a ride for me to ride it so many times, I would never want to ride it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Rider Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 To qualify for Guinness you only get a 15 min. break every 8 hrs. Ouch! I wonder if I should start a coaster riders union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 No way could I ever do that, but just for ease of marathoning, I'd pick Greezed Lightnin' at Kentucky Kingdom. No head banging, no banging into the sides of the vehicles, and generally a very comfy coaster. -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 lol, I think a few people would know my answer, and no ROBB, i am NOT braging, But my choice would be Superman Escape at Movie World. Except the Roll Bars Hurt a little and leave nice bruises, either that or theres a SLC next Door . Or Tower of Terror could be a good Choice Too.

KrazyT Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 My choice without a doubt would be SheiKra, its smooth, not very long, and entertaining... i could ride it for days (or more) if the park would let me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Millenium Force or Applo's Chariot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfne2005 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I rode SRoS@SFNE one hour straight and I was gonna be sick Sheikra would be mine as well; or maybe even TTD, though I am sure I'd last longer than the ride itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eunuch Provocateur Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I can tell you one thing: no one would pick Goliath. Well, maybe the one in Holland. I'd pick Space Mountain, It'd be easy to sleep since it'd be dark... Or I'd pick Superman: Krypton Koaster at SFFT. That one would be bitchin.

Immel Man Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Probably Nitro or Apollo's Chariot. Any B&M hyper would be a good choice. They're smooth, exciting enough that you wouldn't get too bored, and probably wouldn't wear you out as fast as an Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLRC7 CP Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I would do Mellenium force because it is incredibly smooth and fun, or i would ride goliath and black out on the tenth or eleventh ride and sleep for a few hours, superman the escape would be good too, only speed and airtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I think I'd probably go with Dominator or Apollo's Chariot. I would consider Hades as well. Honestly though, I have no desire to ever do something like this. I love roller coasters, but not enough to waste 100 consecutive days of my life riding the same one.

mightypotato Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd probably ride Millennium Force for 104+ days. Its the only one I enjoy that much and is smooth enough to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 well I got a big list I want either -X -Mr. Freeze -Medusa -top gun -stealth/borg assimalator -V2 -kong (who thinks my neck would snap before I am done) -giant dipper at SCBB This list will be updated soon. If it wasnt for school I would so do this on any of those rides. I wonder do they have to pay to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I would stray from any Vekoma coaster as I'd be asking for a problem. I would probably do Space Mountain as it's indoors, away from cold if it happened to be, away from rain if it also happened. I would also probably do Medusa as it's smooth and comfy.

man Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I would stick an umbrella on the seat are sky coasters an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 IIRC Richard Rodriguez had some severe dental problems during the marathon, due to the forces. The best advice would be to choose a fairly forceless ride with no inversions, that's very smooth. Both Mummy's would be cool, but the backwards put could mess you up after awhile. I think that Apollo would be a great choice, as would Silver Star. RB, with all of the transitions, could wear you out after awile. Personally, if I could pad the seats, Jaguar or Ripsaw would be a good choice. But for comfort, I think Coaster at the Puyallup Fair or High Roller at VF would be the best choices.

Patty Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I would say it would have to be Air at Alton Towers because its so smooth and it doesnt make you sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
