Single Rider Bob video?

I think single rider bob lives up by Elyria or around there.

If he lives too far away, he probably spends alot on gas, unless he just runs to the Point pushing cars out of his way. ;)

The Elyria paper has an article in it today. Here is the online link.

A nice little article. Other than when the writer said, "

A nice little article. Other than when the writer said, "which enabled Urmanic to make beelines for the separate line set aside for those riding by themselves." Unless there's been a recent change that I'm unaware of, there is no single rider line on Millennium Force.

Even rank amateurs could have managed 30 to 40 rides under such conditions, Urmanic said

That line made me laugh. He makes it sound like there is an "art" or skill to what he does. Anyone can put on a lime green t-shirt and run around the queue all day... especially when the line is short and you can cut through the special access entrance. I also like that the paper contacted CP to ask if it was a record or not. I highly doubt they keep track of who holds the yearly record for rides....

I'm not dissing what Bob does, and I certainly don't have a problem with counting rides (see my signature), but I don't think there's any need to put him on a pedestal.

The article made it sound like there's some sort of single rider line - anyone know anything about this?

I think it is fantastic but missed anything leading me to believe there is a single rider entrance for MF. He said if the line was longer than 45 mins he would leave.

The T’s bright red “Single Rider” phrase constantly alerted ride operators, to say nothing of waiting riders, to the fact he was alone, which enabled Urmanic to make beelines for the separate line set aside for those riding by themselves.

No such line exists on MF. The only ride with a dedicated SRL is Maverick.

Sounds like the way the writer wrote this rather than info Bob gave them.

I agree with you Josh. He is just like any other person in the world. He just likes MF A LOT.

By a near coincidence, I like MILFs a lot. :)

I swear, as soon as the world MILF was brought up, I knew someone would link to the VPILF. It happens on every forum. :)

Hey Jesz, don't you have a child? ;-)

I keed, I keed.

About the single rider line, I think it's alluding to making a beeline for another seat with only one, that the operator tells him to go to, but what do I know?

mermaidsair's avatar

I think it was laziness on the journalists part. It is simply easier to describe it that way instead of "operator asks Bob to move thru line to available spot."

What is a VPILF?

^lol. think about it.

As for the single rider line... I've seen Bob do it. It's not really so much a single rider line as it is him looking for any single riders on every train as soon as he gets to the station.
