I saw Single Rider Bob today a few times. I noticed that the top half of the back of his shirt said "Over 1200 Rides Mil. Force 2008." Out of sheer curiosity, did anyone catch what the rest of the back of his shirt said?

Call me crazy, but who is Single Rider Bob?

He's an older guy (Not old per se, just not exactly young either) who basically rides Millenium Force at CP as many times as possible daily.

^^Um, I'll go ahead and say he's pretty old. But he still runs around the queue at MF. Last year there was an article about him. He got 1,000 rides last season alone, and in one day got over 80 rides. I've ridden with him a few times and I say hi when I see him. But his crazy hat has got to go...

His crazy hat is the best part because it clashes so horribly with his t-shirt! :lol:

I love his hat! And if I recall corectly, he rode behind me on Diamondback.

Now just wait. Pretty soon there are going to be people talking about "Single Rider Zach", the one person who rode Diamondback over 1,000 times in one season! :rolleyes:

If I ever become "Single Rider Dvo," I'm wearing a bandit mask and a cape for sure. :)

That makes me want to wear a mask and cape when I go back to KI next weekend :rolleyes:

I dare you! :lol:

This is my first and probably final summer without a job. Yes, I planned it that way. I want to have this summer to ride coasters and go diving!

HEY! no stealing my ideas! Although if you do, at least get pictures ;) That would be hilarious.

If he does, I'll get a picture of him in his mask and cape and me in my single rider shirt together. :lol:

Violakat03, you're going to have all of the coolest shirts this year! Where do you buy the stuff to put on the shirts. I know where to get cheap shirts.

I had mine made at a place called ThreadWorks in Fairborn. It's the same material that's used to put names and numbers on sports jerseys. It's on there really solid and he said those letters will outlast the shirt. I paid $30 for all the lettering and the shirt itself. If you just wanted to get "single rider" front and back of a shirt you already have, it would be about $20. I paid extra cause I got KICentral.com on both sleeves.

That'd be cool :D If I can't find a mask I'll wear the sombrero (Spelling?) I bought during spring break in mexico :)

I still have no idea how to go about getting a cape, but if anyone has an idea i'll see if I can give it a shot ;)

I've got a long black one. Try a halloween store?

If you find some cheap material you like, I could easily make you a cape out of it in about ... oh 10 minutes on the sewing machine.

But the question is, will any halloween stores be open this time of year? And a cape would have to be a safety concern on rides like Invertigo. Maybe the ride ops will let me roll it up and sit on it...

To be more specific about Single Rider Bob, he got 1201 rides on Millennium in 2008. Got that straight from the man himself while standing in line for Backlot Stunt Coaster.

I'll see if I can find a website or something. If I find something interesting i'll definitely buy and wear it :)

I don't know that Kings Island would like someone running around with a mask and cape on.

If not i'll just run out and put them back in the car after me and Kat get our picture taken. As i've said before, I can see the cape being a problem, but I really don't think they'll have anything to say about a mask (That's assuming I wear the one i'm planning to wear, just a simple black one that only covers my eyes and nose)
