Recently I was at FunTown in Saco, Maine. I had the best day ever at a park, for ride time.
Two ERT's, one hour each AM & PM.
70 total rides on Excalibur. All smiles.
Saw in one of the threads, 60 trips on Steel Phantom in one day.
I'd like to hear other stories of most rides on a single coaster in a single day.
32 Rides on Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags America on 8/18. Without a doubt the best day I ever had at any park. With no lines, me and my friend rode Superman for a total of 4 hours that day. 1 hour in the morning, and from 7:00 pm til close. It is my new #1 coaster...an airtime beast.

Parks for 2000: CP, Great Escape, Great Adventure, SFA, Islands of Adventure, Kennywood
Oh my, this goes back when I was 13. It was 1984 at Marriotts Great America, now SFGAm. I met up with a couple ACE members and we decided to ride the Tidal Wave. There was no line so we stayed on a total of 62 times. The ride op thought we were nuts but we enjoyed every minute of it. That was also the first time I found out that the ACE coaster club existed.
Oh, I forgot to mention. This was 62 times without ever getting off the ride.

My record for a day is 32 trips on Shivering Timbers. I went in the middle of the week on an overcast day. The park was deserted. I was there 4 1/2 hours and all I rode was ST. I also got 20 trips in a day this year on ST in June. Oh, I had a huge headache after the 32 trip day. ST is great but it isn't the smoothest woody out there.

24 laps on Great American Scream Machine at SFGradv. 12 Hulk rides and 9 Fire and Ice rides(18 total)at IOA in February. 12 Kumba's and 15 Montu's on the same day at Busch Tampa. Usually the only reason I get off when I don't have to is to go to the can.
I'm an amateur!!! 17 maybe more on Shivering Timbers!! That is, my dad was holding me back from going really buckwild!!!

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!
Two years ago, I went on Viper (SFDL) 25 times (12 in a row was the most). Usually, the line for Viper is pretty short - they have one of those queue time estimate clocks at the beginning of the line, which usually overestimates the time. The second most was 17 on Dragon Mountain about five years ago. If it hadn't been raining at Darien Lake, I could have cracked thirty!!
25 times on Steel Force! Airtime galore in the 3rd seat everytime but the last was in the front!

Racers Start your Engines!
at Hersheypark
We went to Big Chief late in the season last year, and the place was dead. I got 24 rides on Zeus, and we were only there for half a day. Make sure to ride this one if you have the chance -- you won't regret it!
41 rides total one night at Six Flags Ohio

I didn't think it was possible to do a Boomerang twice.

If only Kennywood placed the Entry SLIGHTLY closer to the exit, me and my partner could've easily broke 60 rides on Steel Phantom in late June. Plus, we got there at about 11:30 and left at 10. Ahh, the things we couldve done!
Dont run, walk briskly!
Well, I only rode the ride for about 30 minutes, but I got 16 laps off of Cyclops at big chief karts and coasters.
