Richard Rodriguez did 2000 hrs on the Big Dipper at Blackpool UK last year. He did it the year before to, but someone else broke it within a few weeks. Sad sod was so determined he did it again. S'funny, he looks quite slim in the face, then you see this huge fat arse he's been bouncing around on.I had a ride on the seat behind him. He has a seat with extra padding, a pillow and the lap bar tied open-given this 1926 John Miller contraption you need it spending 3 months on a bloody rollercoaster!!! He was allowed 5 mins off the ride for every hour he rode, he could save a few hours worth at a time, and then go for a 20 minute break. There was another guy on a wooden coaster in Canada at the same time, neither of them would get off, but Rodriguez won eventually!
