Ever had to chance to get a double ride?

I rode SROS (SFNE) 8 times in a row on October 30. The park was quit dead and the ride ops were really cool to the patrons that night. A friend of mine rode 15 times in a row on a Foggy,Rainy Friday night (lucky)
At last summer's end, I took an 8 day trip that consisted of 5 theme parks and 2 water parks. I was pleasantly surprised to find not one day where I had to wait more than 25 minutes for any ride; this because it was one of the slowest times of the year, in early September. At SFMM, it was the Wed of the week, and very slow. So slow, in fact, that for nearly the first hour the park was open ( 10 am), we were offered double rides on all the coasters we hit: Batman: the ride, Riddler's Revenge, and Viper!
NO KIDDING- at opening we immediately ran to the back of the park and experienced virtually no lines until after 11am. Also, on that Fri, we were at SFMW and, had the same experience on Medusa, Roar, and Kong ( we politely asked to be let off Kong). From now on, all my coaster trips will start the week of Labor Day!!
Hey coasterbob34-I was there that night too! I didnt get 8 rides in a row though. They made us get up and walk around cause someone was in line for our seat. That night was freezing! And going down that drop, going at 80 mph is crazy when it's 35 degrees out (that night was especcially cold).
Python at BGT in January 1991, Park was empty, My little brother, (well he was little then :) ) rode it until we were dizzy. It was his first coaster too.

As heard on Amtrak 44: "If you look out the left side of the Train you will see the coasters of Cedar Point."
I have twice. I got to ride the Log Jammer at Kennywood about 10 times in a row because the weather very icky that day so my friend and I were able to stay on since there wasn't a line.

The other time was at BGW on Apollo's Chariot. It was on our school trip and our Communication Arts teacher is handicapped so a few of my friends and I got to ride two times in a row in the back seat.
Wow, I've been on many coasters more than once without getting off.

Gemini I once rode 17 times without getting off. Right in the middle of the red train. It was awesome!

Demon at SFGAm I've ridden 7 times without getting off, too. I think it was because (and this is serious) it was the Sunday of the gay-lesbian pride parade in downtown Chicago. NO ONE was at SFGAm!
Well, I frequently get re-rides on the Raven at Holiday World. The most times I've ever ridden it in a row is 26. It gets more intense every ride. Another ride, even though it's not a coaster, is Frightful Falls at Holiday World, I got 23 rides in a row without leaving our log, and we could've got more, but we justed wanted to do something else. The Screamin' Eagle at SFStL is usually a walk-on too, unfortunately, they won't usually let you stay on.

Last year in May I rode the front seat of Phoenix at Knoebels approximately ten times without leaving my seat. There was a light rain, and there were about four or five people on the train. As the train approached the station each time the ride operator said "If you want off, raise your hand; otherwise, we won't stop." About half of my ten rides went through the station like this without stopping. I did get a little wet after all this and left after someone finally got in the line for the front.
