I would imagine this has been discussed but I could not find it through the search.

I am curious as to how many times others can ride a coaster in one day. I know I am always pushing myself to see what I can handle. I remember as a kid riding Double Loop at Geauga Lake 10 times in a day and thinking I was hot s***. Boy, times have changed! :D

My daily bests are:

116 (est) - Cheetah at Wild Adventures
97 - Voyage (I feel this is the hardest coaster to marathon)
93 - Chang at Kentucky Kingdom (not smart idea!)
93 - Gemini (during Coasting For Kids and these were consecutive rides, never getting off for 7 hrs)
83 - Kumba (this was on Christmas Day several years ago)
82 - Magnum (no re-rides, walking around every time)

Never tried that because I don't want to go back in the same line, and I want to ride other stuff.

10 rides on Wicked Cyclone this summer. I'm not the person who really does many re-rides simply because after a while I need a break or else I get severe migraines.

~50 times Troy, but could have been easily far more.

Probably twice or thrice. I focus on going on all of the different rides.

13 on Nitro and 11 on El Toro in one day. Would have ridden El Toro more if one of it's trains didn't go down.

Even when a park is dead, I often only ride a coaster a couple times per visit. At most, I might do 4 laps on a coaster I really like. However, during ERT sessions I have managed to get double digit rides on coasters. The most was probably 15 rides on Kentucky Rumbler at Beech Bend during an ERT session a couple years ago.
Coaster Count: 535 (114 wood, 444 steel); Park Count: 110
Top 5 Wood: El Toro, Voyage, Thunderhead, Outlaw Run, Boulder Dash
Top 5 Steel: Superman the Ride, Fury 325, Millennium Force, X2, Intimidator 305

Tend to like to take my time at parks too - plus given shorter UK opening hours I don't tend to rack up more than 2-3 rides on one coaster.

My best I think was 8 given an ERT session at the start of the day (clocked 7 rides in that session)

My best is 4 times on a kiddie coaster because I have some bad motion sickness that forces me to sit down and breath after EVERY ride I go on.

After that 15 minute ride session I puked on the ground.

I also puked after riding Black Mamba ONE time.

In October 2014, I rode Renegade 16 times in one day. 8 of those were consecutive, the other 8 were scattered throughout the day.

16 sounds like our average. Our minimum. GP's maximum. :)

Build up slowly usually works on getting your motion sickness to cooperate. I remember that I couldn't even handle riding a Huss Breakdance when I was young, now-a-days marathon riding is far from an issue.

I'll try to build it up, otherwise I won't be able to ride Taron this year. :(

In my case I tend to get kind of sick in a bus trip! I'm completely fit when I ride intense coasters, though. :lol:

Once had a bus driver that drove over a kerb at such speed me and my friend in the back seat (5 person bench essentially) literally got airtime and shifted a foot to one side whilst midair!

^ I assume that Banshee is really a decent B&M Invert at Kings Island! One day I would love to see "Batshee" built for the difference. It would be like Batman + Banshee!
