My personal records are 17 times on Drop Tower, 6 times on Afterburn, 8 times on Thunder Road, and 2 times on Nighthawk (it's so rare to get a re-ride on Nighthawk for some reason), 5 times on Hurler, and 4 times on Cyclone.

Not to veer off to other parks but since Jon did it then I am going to.

Great American Scream Machine at SFoG for 30 hours doing 367 laps or 240 miles.
Screamin Eagle at SFStl for 30 hours with Jon in the Blazin Heat of a 100+ degrees.

No idea about Carowinds but no where near 30 hours on anything.

30 hours on GASM at SFOG, I nearly needed a jackhammer after 2 rides back in 2006. Cyclone was even worse, but the airtime made it worth it.

^^ Dave I can't believe you could stand GASM for 30 hours. Screamin Eagle is a better coaster and I think I could maybe stand it for a marathon.

Course back in my days when I was in shape, I did a 100 mile bike ride in a day as part of the MS ride, so if I can stand that kind of saddle soreness, I guess I could stand 30 hours on a coaster.

Probably longest marathon for me was way back in the 80s when I rode Carolina Cyclone about 20 times in one day.

Off the top of my head, my only two records like this I remember came from 2 different ACE events (early CCC events). Rode Nighthawk/BORG 12 times straight during 1 hr ERT, rode Afterburn/Top Gun 15 times straight during 1 hr ERT (never got off except to switch seats on occassion)

I'm not much of a marathoner, per se, but my best marathon was 25 straight on Rampage last summer. It was right around 97 degrees out, I hadn't eaten anything, and had only had a small amount of water. Rode in all 24 seats once and repeated a seat once. If anyone has ridden Rampage, you know how intense that ride is. I felt like I was dying, had a ridiculous headache, and I had sweated so much that my entire shirt was practically soaked. Went in the water park after that.

Ditto. That was possibly the best worst time I've ever had on a coaster! :)

Who would've ever thought you could sleep on GASM?!?!

I dont know exactly how many but I know I have rode Drop Zone at least 8 times without getting off, Top Gun 14 times without getting off, Intimidator 4 times (because of the stupid queue), Thunder road 5 times (maybe more I cant remember), Frenzoid (souther start) 10+ times, and Hurler I know I have rode hurler at least 6 times without getting off (talk about a headache. A lot of the top gun and hurler were @ coasterstock for ERT as well.... Again these are estimates I think I may have did them more but you get the idea. I am hoping for at least 15 rides in a row on Intimidator at coasterstock, probaly more. I think I would get bored on any ride after so many rounds lol. I dunno we'll see... :D
