And I thought my record of 278 was good. Hats off to this guy.

Way to go Brendan!

[Imperial79]

Wow that's a bunch!

[Gannersdaddy]

Wow.  I just rode my 300th on Diamondback on Saturday in about as long at it has taken him to hit 3000.  

[Rustbucket]

Nice, Brendan.  I am only half way there.

My highest ride count is around 280 on Lightning Run since 2014. I could not imagine getting that much rides in that amount of time! Congrats Brendan!

[Shawn Meyer]

I know Brendan. He's a cool guy! Wish he had an account on here. Either way congratulations Buddy! You're Awesome!

[VortexBFForever]

Congratulations Brendan!

On a side note, imagine how long it would take me to get to 3000 rides on Vortex...I'm at only 316 and I've been riding it for six and a half seasons!!

I'm at 243, and that is pretty much taking this year off. Lol

I really never thought of keeping track. But I'm sure on some of the rides like Beast, Vortex, etc I have to be in the thousands as I've been riding them for almost 30 years lol.

Congrats.  Way to go!

My top count on a single ride is Drop Tower.  I am at 9992 and counting.  I started in 2000.

[Italian Job 2005]

I can only ride Banshee like two times in a row before getting light headed. Hopefully Brendan have himself time to recover.

Wow that is very impressive. Im so scared of them I cant even get in the line 

[tuxedoman52]

That's absolutely crazy! I love Banshee so much but I'm only at 26. Biggest count I actually have is Diamondback with 116, but I have to imagine Racer, Adventure Express, and possibly The Beast all surpass that number. Maybe even The Bat.

[Outdoor Man]

hmmm.   My ride tally winner is probably The Beast.  Been riding since 1993 and I'm pretty sure that I'm up close to the 50-55 mark.  23 years... an average of 2-3 times per year.  Sounds about right.  

 

Would love to have more to the tally but....

[Oldiesmann]

I don't know how many Banshee rides I'm at. I try to keep track of rides during the season, but that's about it. I'm nowhere near 3000 rides on anything at KI though to my knowledge.

My limit is 8 times in a row. That is riding 2 times without getting off, then go around and get right back on, then 2 rides, back around , then 2 more times before the old stomach start to twinge. lol yes this was at a closed event.

I really don't keep track of long term ride counts, only single days. I've gotten 30 in one day on Thunderbird and 32 on Thunderhead. (The Thunderhead marathon was on a 10-6 day too).

[King Ding Dong]

I would like to see the math on this one. Don't have a full calendar to see how many operating days there are but in my head that seems to be over 6 rides per day every day the thing has been operating.

Boggles the mind. Imagine his has to be as well.

Q. How many protein spills?

He works at Kings Auto Mall and lives 4 miles from the park. He is there pretty much every day. His numbers are legit.

Not questioning the legitimacy, I just want to know how he scheduled it and held down a job.

[Magenta Lizard]

Banshee has excellent capacity so lines are typically very short. Even spending a couple hours an operating day, it seems a very achievable goal.

[harveyhaddixfan]

I've been to KI 6 or 7 times this year and have seen him there almost every time. On a day that Diamondback was open early, him & his buddy took off for Banshee.

As stated before. He works at Kings Auto mall. So he goes after work.

I see Brendan all the time at KI. I just saw him yesterday on The Beast and congratulated him on 3000 Banshee rides.

[VortexBFForever]

I saw him on Diamondback last night! He was on the train before mine and I congratulated him.

I was expecting it to be this guy I saw early on during Banshee's first season.  I would guess in his 40s and had purple hair and those pants with the hooks on.  He had the Fast Lane Plus and was riding nothing but Banshee.  He had been on it something insane like 20+ or 30+ times that day.  I asked him why only ride Banshee and he replied "It's the best ride in the park. Why ride anything else?"  I saw him a few other times that season.
