News: Group tries to break nude riding record

Posted at 2:36 PM EDT (1836 GMT)

Aug. 27th, 2004 -- In May of this year, 28 people set the record for the most people to ride a coaster while nude. Today, another group will try to break that record.

32 people will board Nemesis at Alton Towers while naked today. Mike Lorimer, the park's marketing manager, says that the park is pleased to help break the record. Lorimer is confident the record will be broken, although the official results will not be known until the airing of a 50th anniversary Guinness special next month. The park will be closed to the public during the event.

The previous record of 28 was set on the Nemesis Inferno roller coaster at Thorpe Park.

I'm making a call to Valleyfair! We'll try to break the record after the season ends. Sure, it might be chilly, but it'll keep the guys from having . . . . issues.

Notice how Alton Towers and the park that currently holds the record are in the UK. Just a thought.

^ A record like this would never exist in North America....everyone is uptight and too concerned with political correctness...especially since the Superbowl 'incident' ;).

I would like to be next in line. You'd probably meet a lot of interesting people, and they have covers on the seats anyway so you don't have to worry about that.

Umm, Air would have been a more "interesting" choice for this record attempt :)
