Your Most Ridden Ride

Well, Actually
1. 1989 2. 1990 3. 1991 4. 1992 5. 1993 6. 1994 7. 1995 8. 1996 9. 1997 10. 1998 11. 1999 12. 2000 13. 2001 14. 2002 15. 2003 16. 2004 17. 2005 18. 2006 19. 2007 20. 2008...In the past 20 seasons.

She opened on 5/6/89 and this May...5/6/09 will be twenty years...and 21st season.

I rode Excalibur at VFair 76 times last summer. Total my whole life is probably closer to 200 - 250 times.

But I've been on Renegade, Wild Thing, Steel Venom, and High Roller probably a good 100 times each.

Also, by comparison, I have probably only ridden TTD 20 times or so...I seam to have tremendously bad luck with TTD, and 6 of those were on a Friday night in September over a 45 minute period.

Blue Streak is similar to Magnum...over and over again for hours at a time. and the last couple of years, I have spent upwards of 6 hours riding Blue Streak.

I remember years ago getting walk ons all day and getting close to 30 rides a day. A good rain jacket is essential though .

Wow, that's actually pretty low. On troy i've had days when it was only open for like 4 hours (12 till 4pm in the winter) with way more rides than that. I think I have some good ride sessions of like 50-75 rides.

Assuming you had all day long to ride with standard times you've had like 8 hours. Doing 30 rides in 8 hours time is 480min / 30 = 16 min for one ride.
Do you walk/run around that slow or were the ride opps just so lame to not let you stay seated with an empty station?

guess I had my years mixed up, I thought it opened like a year or two before steel force

Supreme scream 173 times

Xcelerator-82 times

I think that was a lot more if the ride was open more often, eh?

Don't forget that he's talking about Alton Towers, the park is large to put it simply, if you wanted to walk from Nemesis to Oblivion, it's nearly 15 minutes in itself. Also a "good day" at Alton Towers is 10 minute queues, I honestly don't think I've ever had a "re-ride" at Alton Towers, even when you go on a school day in the middle of october when the weather is horrible! I've had plenty of re-rides at Thorpe Park and other parks too, but never Alton Towers.

EDIT: Scratch that, I do remember having one re-ride on Nemesis actually, about 3 years ago, funnily enough, on a school day in the middle of October

I think you explained better than I could of Gouldy....

Re-rides are nearly nonexistent at Alton Towers, The only time I have ever had one was about 4 years back after the fireworks where we got to stay on Oblivion for 10 laps. Normally they just spout company policy at you.

katun - 95 rides

Uhh

Scream! SFMM- 91 times
Silver Bullet Knotts- 42 times
Xcelerator Knotts- 27 times

Yeah I know Scream! is a parkinglot coaster, and a Medusa copy, but it's still fun.

Probably Mr. Freeze at my homepark Six Flags St Louis. I went last sunday, and the place had probably not even a hundred people in the park, walk ons all day, and I rode all of the rides multiple times, but I rode Freeze probably around 18 times alone Sunday. And I'm probaly going again this weekend. [:D]

Nobody is going to believe me when i say this, but i've been on Medusa @ SFDK at least 1000 times. I swear I have, because i go there every summer, and there are never any lines, and me and friends just ride all day... we went on it 30 times in one day. wow.

Sheikra...lost count

I have never kept an actual total, but every time I go to Indiana Beach I get ~20 rides on Cornball Express, probably one of my favorite rides. Unfortunately that only totals to about 60. [xx(]
I should be getting out there a few more times this summer though, with my new driving privileges. [:)]

[Turbo]

no, he rode it while it was still medusa. It will always be medusa in our hearts

^no...I'm pretty sure that's the correct name...try again

reread what I wrote. SFDK, six flags discovery kingdom. Thats going to stay medusa, unless i be out of the loop.

umm...guys... Medusa at SFGAdv is changing to Bizzaro. asaaa is talking about the one at SFDK...

[Turbo]

you and I are right, asaaa:
Me: Medusa at SFGAdv will STAY MEDUSA in our hearts...
You: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Dragon Khan, because the capacity is amazingly fast and the rollercoaster is generally good fun. I managed 18 rides in a single day due to it being practically walk-on.

Well, Six FLags St. Louis is my homepark so The most ridden ride would have to be Mr. Freeze. It is my all time fav!

Probably have ridden Space Mountain (v.1977 and v.2005 combined) at least over 200 times... though I have no official count per year. I've only kept one count for a year/season and that was for Aftershock. For Aftershock's opening season last year, I rode 51 times, which is pretty good considering the lines it can get.

I'd have to go with Apollos Chariot. In the past three years, I've ridden it exactly 123 times. Alpie is close behind with 102 and Griffon with 87. I go very often so I get my fair share of rides in.
