Record Number Of Rides Rode

Once you get to a certain point does it really make a difference between 100, or 500 or whatever? Doesn't it just all feel the same?

In response to hitting all the rides, I remember reading a guide somewhere on how to hit all 16 coasters in one day (might've even been here, I dun remember). It was pretty cool, he outlined stuff like Mean Streak is empty in the morning, if Raptor is over ~30 mins don't go on it because it'll shorten up later, etc. (kinda stuff that people like us already know =p )

I think I might try for that one day this summer, just wandering ride to ride has somewhat lost its appeal after doing it so much.

If your talking about the most rides, those 24 hr (or last one riding i guess) endurance events have to be the hardest right..., has anyone done one?

I've never had a problem hitting all of the rides I want to ride in a day.

I rode Raptor:

246 times in 2003 - 50 times in a day
303 times in 2004 - 40 times in a day
151 times in 2005 - 30 times in a day

That's really the only one I have an exact count on. Everything else I have a rough estimate.

I can understand being able to keep track of your rides in a day, if your marathon riding or something. How do all of you keep track of your rides for each season? An excel file? Old fashion pen & paper?

I know Tony keeps track of his Millennium Force rides each day in his head, then updates his Pointbuzz profile with his total when he gets home.

I do the same thing for Dragster.

Wouldn't that think skip numbers while your riding?

I had a bunch of tiny magnets that I put between the button and the device. They kept it from counting.
