A university lecturer yesterday broke the world record for time spent on a rollercoaster - and is still going strong.
At midnight yesterday, Richard Rodriguez, 48, beat the previous holder by clocking up nine days and 12 hours, reports the Daily Record.The American said: “I feel I can do it for another week. I want to set a record that can never be beaten.
“As a kid, I was frightened of rollercoasters but I have learned to love them.” Richard has been riding Europe’s tallest rollercoaster - the 60mph Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
In that time, the Chicago-based record-breaker has travelled 4126 miles - more than the 3950-mile return trip to his home city - during 16 rides each hour.
