markhudson17 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I was wondering if there is any kind of record for the most rides on The Beast in one day. If not, what is your personal record. At the moment, mine is only 4 but I'm planning on increasing that dramatically this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 20 in one day 71 in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZosoBeast Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mine was 17 times in a row. Only time I got out of the train was to get into a different seat. It was a weekday during the last day of weekly operation about 4 or 5 summers ago. Went up after work and found an empty park waiting for me. Decided then and there to non-stop The Beast. I am hoping the same thing can happen to me in the early weeks of May for DB, but that is totally wishful thinking. It does sound nice!

Dalefan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I beleave the most rides may go to that dude who 1st did the 1,000 rides or more. Cant remember his name. It was when the ride was in its early years when he did it. My 1st ride on The Beast was in 03 and in one day i rode it 5 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalefan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I would of thought of his name at first after watching the videos in line lol. But its good that parks get some sort of a record from us riders instead of just how tall or fast a ride is. I like to see a record on a spin and puke ride lol.

KIFAN! Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Wow I can't imagine riding it that many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mr. Helbig has ridden The Racer even more times! Well more than 10,000 times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIFAN! Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 In one day?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Obviously, not! I know of people who have ridden Beast more than 70 times in one day, and Racer more than 110...but the park does not keep official records on such things. This question is one that the park is asked most frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think I could easily beat the world record for most rides om SOB in a row. Seriously, I would love to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't have a personal Beast record.. however, on a really slow day last year, I rode Drop Tower 8 times in a row for a total of 13 rides that day. The ride op actually high-fived me, it was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Our record is only 8. We got 4 night rides in a row that night when noone was in line..... Started at about 9:15, then took the last ride after the fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastinNight Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My record is 19 on The Beast, 5 on SOB, and 13 on Racer. I once rode Vortex 6 times in a row and I'm telling you... NOT a good idea, i was not sick just a MAJOR HEADACHE!!! from all the dang head-banging. Man that ride is getting rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think I could easily beat the world record for most rides om SOB in a row. Seriously, I would love to do it. From what I understand, there are no re rides for Son of Beast. They stopped double rides on it since the double rides gold pass perk.

goofywdw Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^Yes you are right. That was one thing we had to watch out for the most while working there because there were injuries from people double riding. There were a lot of older people that go pretty upset but most of the younger people would be ok with it. There were two guys I remember that would always come to the park on Sunday nights in the post season and always sit in the front and have to walk around everytime. I don't think they knew each other but I would remember seeing them there a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
