Confuzzled Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James & Co. Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I would love to do that on THE SWARM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzzled Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 That would be cool I would get burnt on the fire though ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'd probably say Shambhala! It's so comfortable and re rideable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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...

James & Co. Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James & Co. Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 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?

Tom Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Most of the time. Except S&S? I don't remember being able to make my Slammer restraint lock any further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom99 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Image someone doing it on Colossus...lol. NEVER!

Mark9 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't ride records on Zeus be arguable since you spend half the ride OUT of your seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joegibbon Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Either Blue Fire or Silver Star for me. Both really comfy and not too intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
