I can make it shorter...

Rode Magnum 59x & left.

And how long was the wait for that ride? I am guessing it would need to be 5 minutes the whole day. So how long did you stay at the park?

I hope you have proof, because brethern should be hot on your tail now Robert (though I believe you).

How many people saw you deboard and reboard 50+ times? These wtinesses cannot be the rideops...right slipknot? Afterall, riding any coaster, no matter how good it is, is not possible to be done 50+ times.

Actually, it is possible on Magnum.

If the average wait during the day is 6 minutes, leaving 2.5 minutes for the ride, and another minute and a half for walking from the exit/entrance, he can do it. That is not counting any breaks. This is also assuming that they hit interval most of the time and that the ride doesn't break down or go down for any other reason (illness, weather, etc.).

I've seen Robert ride that much during a day last year, so I'm not about to doubt him. Though, it'd be nice if he gave us more detail.

You realize there are other coasters there of course, right Robert? I'm guessing the park must've been pretty empty then. I'll have to go there and do one of the Magnum ride-a-thons. Although, I'd probably get tired or sick after 20 rides. You know that by riding Magnum 59 times, you dropped over 10,000 ft, not even including the other drops and bunny hills, which if I had to guess would probably then total over 30,000 ft. That would be like diving off of Mount Everest. Impressive, Robert.

I don't think i could stand that many rides in one day either. The most i rode in one day was 5 or 6 and that was enough for me. Your a brave man Robert.

You should of done it one more time to make it an even 60! But yeah, that's a lot for one day. Once again, you are so lucky to live so close to CP and ride your favorite coaster so much. If only...

I was going to delete a post, but Phil gave me a better idea. This is closed.

Please do not resurrect any trip reports (or any other threads) for the sole purpose of being sarcastic.
