Well done Ryan. If you had tried riding a certain Texas coaster for 5000 goes your body would have been like jelly, well any bits that were not just broken into small pieces. Shows how good Meggy is.

Do I detect an- anti "RATTLER" campaign,,,,,,,,,       I love it...........   Just a thought guys?? How many times did you ride "RATTLER" on the RCCGB trip???? I must have ridden it at least 20 times on our visit. Mind you, being locked in by the lap bar helped     Just ask Mike Conklin   USfriends How many times did you ride "RATTLER" on the RCCGB trip????

Don't mince your words Pete     Magic frosty wrote: Magic using a steadycam would still have trouble with that much shake & rattle Would struggle even using a gyroscopic mount. Suspect all the components would vibrate loose from the circuit boards and destroy the camera, this could be a good way to get rid of the naff Z1's. Riding it once destroyed a few of my brain cells and you can see what riding it 20 times did to Ryan. Ryan when you got to 7500 let me know so I can alert the Beeb news. JamesC Congratulations Ryan! Wow.... 5000! There's me thinking my 80 rides on Rock'n'Roller Coaster was pretty good. coastergraham Congratulations Ryan   I take it you are a mean streak fan like myself then   Nimmykins Congratulations Ryan, well done.

Sue Magic Now the Texas Giant was a superb coaster, that ERS after the thunder storm was mental, seeing sparks coming off the up stops is one of my most memorable coaster moments. Nimmykins Well done Ryan. I watched the clip http://www.itvlocal.com/wales/news/?player=WAL_News_15&void=231210 The Saint Congratulations Ryan - a stunning achievement..... Just where have you been hiding the number counter for rides 1 to 4999?!   or was that a just for TV moment Rough Rider The Saint wrote: Congratulations Ryan - a stunning achievement..... Just where have you been hiding the number counter for rides 1 to 4999?!   or was that a just for TV moment No,it  was the actuall 5000 ride and actuall 5000th click on my counter.   (had to ride Meggy 25 times on the trot to reach 5000)   I have been carrying the counter in my car for years ( I used to carry a diary and record it in there, but using the counter was easier)   Ryan BAGuru Well done Boyo !!! Heres to the next 5000.        RCCGB FORUM Forum Index -> Anything Goes Page 1 of 1
