Posted August 19, 201213 yr comment_140098 Richard Rodriguez is currently on Day 80 of the most consecutive days riding a roller coaster record. The current record is 103 days! The Pepsi max big one has had a seat reserved for him during his attempt to break this record! I was just wandering, if any, what roller coaster would you try to beat this record on? Please comment below:
August 19, 201213 yr Author comment_140100 That would be cool I would get burnt on the fire though ;(
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140108 Urgh, Swarm would cause so much head rushing it would become extremely uncomfortable after a while... Raptor or Air for me, major rides, but not overtly intense to prevent excessive re-riding...
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140113 Probably Salvation at 6fmm for me, smooth and thrilling. It might be a bit much over and over but I'm sure I could handle it! In the UK, probably Th13teen. Nice and relaxing but with an enjoyable drop and backwards section to look forward to each time.
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140114 Swarm would be an interesting one to try out, but not sure how long you could last over and over again... Th13teen would probably be my choice - enjoyable, smooth and rerideable to this extreme. As a side, a survival challenge on Colossus at Thorpe would be good 'fun' as well...
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140120 Actually just thought that I would only do The Swarm if they sorted out the harnesses getting tight at the end of the ride. I mean they start out comfortable but get tighter at the end making it hard to breath.
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140121 Actually just thought that I would only do The Swarm if they sorted out the harnesses getting tight at the end of the ride. I mean they start out comfortable but get tighter at the end making it hard to breath. Ive started to notice that too. Do you know where exactly they start getting tighter? As I know from other rides at parts if you breath out you cant breathe back in again due to the restraints, its almost starting to be like that on the end run of the swarm when you want to get your breath back :/

As I know from other rides at parts if you breath out you cant breathe back in again due to the restraints, its almost starting to be like that on the end run of the swarm when you want to get your breath back :/ I think the restraints start to get tight after the first drop but I am not entirely sure, the part that gets tight is the black rubber like straps as they can move in and out of the seats but at the end they are locked until the restraints are release.
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140124 The black vests lock as soon as the train starts to move, I believe. I've yet to experience this tightening of restraints on Swarm; never actually had a problem with them whatsoever..
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140125 Josh for some reason even when I'm going up the lift there fine but after the first inversion for some reason they are just so tight that by the end of it I just want to get off because the restraints and that does kind of ruin the experience for me. And if the vests lock in the position they are when they move which is just right when I start why do they get tighter?
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140127 By lock, I mean won't become any looser, sorry. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but with most rides, isn't it the case that you can tighten restraints half way through rides, but not loosen them, due to the nature of the locking systems?
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140130 Most of the time. Except S&S? I don't remember being able to make my Slammer restraint lock any further
August 20, 201213 yr comment_140133 Image someone doing it on Colossus...lol. NEVER!

August 21, 201213 yr comment_140166 I think I'd go for either Shambhala or Tonerre de Zeus. I love intensity but I think I'd prefer sitting on a ride for ages on something that gives massive amounts of air time.

October 27, 201212 yr comment_143220 Image someone doing it on Colossus...lol. NEVER! I don't notice anything Me either the swarms harnesses are fine also I love Colossus I wouldn't mind riding it for a while!
October 27, 201212 yr comment_143236 Either Blue Fire or Silver Star for me. Both really comfy and not too intense.
October 27, 201212 yr comment_143243 Goliath, Walibi Holland for me. Could'nt ride a woodie for that long in one go. I have, in the past done charity one day marathons on Megafobia, and it started hurting by lap 50.
