Offbeat: Man rides Millennium Force 1,000 times — this season

Posted Friday, October 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm by Chip

A 70-year-old Elyria, Ohio, man has ridden Cedar Point’s Millennium Force more than 1,000 times this season alone.

Bob Urmanic, aka "Single Rider Bob" because of his bright neon-green T-shirt displaying the words "Single Rider," reached his goal of 1,000 rides in a season on the 310-foot-tall coaster.

How many times does he have to tackle it a day to reach that? On Sept. 12, he managed 84 rides on it.

And all that riding must mean hours upon hours of waiting in line. Wrong. Urmanic generally doesn’t wait in line if it’s longer than 45 minutes.
