I did pretty well for the 2003 season. i kept track of every ride I rode this season. However, I`m not going to go into detail on every ride I experienced. I will name a few.

PKI (27)

The Beast (39)

Son of Beast (12)

Delirium (17)

Vortex (15)

Forwards Racer (15)

Backwards Racer (11)

Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle (13)

I dont keep track of how many times I ride a ride. I know Ive ridden Face/Off probably about 100 times last year but I dont know.

SOB over 150 times

Flyers 300 times.

I made visits to the park a grand total of 83 days. I'm not sure of how many times I rode different rides, but I did count my Flyer rides....497! If it hadn't been so busy, (that final weekend) I would have made it to 500! God, I love that ride.

The Beast would be runner-up for me. Easily in the hundreds, but I didn't count.....

I rode the train over a thousand times.  Beat that.

LOL, not bad.....It could get pretty boring. I was wondering, what do you do to keep yourself from getting bored out of your skull when working a ride like KI&MV RR?

I didn't really ride much, I rode Delirium about 8 times, and Scooby Doo about 6 times. Everything else I'd be lucky if I rode even once, kinda was really busy with the job.

I usually don't get bored because I'll always have something on my mind: breaks, stuff my crew can improve on, stuff like that, but it helps to ride with someone and waving to the people on White Water is entertaining too. It's the simple pleasures that keep you from going insane.

PKI-6

Drop Zone-3

Delirium-8

Face/Off-6

Son-4

Gun-4

FoF-7

thats about it cool.gif

I haven't kept track of what I've ridden, but I would have to say the sad thing is, that I've probably ridden the rides in HB more than any of the rest of them. unsure.gif But, I can almost guarentee that anyone else that works in HB can say the same. Especially, if you work in east pie, because all of your rides, but one have to be test ridden everyday. I personally have spent more time on the HB Carousel in the past year, than I have in like the past 12 years combined.

I do know one statistic for sure, however. I rode TRTR, twice. And unless dragged on it again, that will probably be it. Although, the second time, didn't freak me out nearly as much as the first.

Maybe you are getting over your fear of TRTR. You should have somone who cares about you take you on it again. TRTR is probably my favorite ride in the park and if I didn't like working in HB as much as I do. TRTR would be the ride I would want to work.

Looking at some of the numbers on here, I feel like I never make it to the park. Then again I do live 2 hours and 45 min away.

Wow! That's insane that you guys keep up with how many times you've ridden rides... so what do you do? Carry around a pad of paper and a pen and take notes? biggrin.gif I wish I had done that last year because that would be very interesting. lol

Let me estimate here...

Vortex 20+

Beast 25 or so.

FoF upwards of 30

Delirium 30 or so.

Eagles 1 (Couldn't snap and got disgruntled)

Beastie 2

SOB maybe 10

Top Gun 20+

Racer 10

recaR 5

Tomb Raider - Probably 20, but I refused to ride it for about 2 months after the filming. biggrin.gif

SDATHC 5

Well, those are just the rides that I can think of. I went to the park about 25 times last season, which is decent for living about an hour away.

Regards,

Ryan

Didn't ride any flat rides.....

Edited by CYoung2003

I see three flat rides on that list.

Delirium, Drop Zone, and TR:TR... Yes 3.

I think he means the smaller rides like SSaR and TM,TS,TZ or any small flats.

Yes Chris I remember when we rode all of that stuff. I also recall the time when Face/Off got stuck on the lift... Were you even there that day? unsure.gif

Well, I have a tendency to not count thrill rides as flat rides........

I wasn't there when Face/Off got stuck on the lift, Nate......

Mwahahahahahahah

Steve

(Think about it)

Yeah well I rode KCKC and King Cobra over 50,000 times each last year but I only made it on The Bat about 10 times because it was always down.
