Meet the coaster king of Coney Island. 40 summers ago, Richard Rodriguez slipped into Seat 6 of the #Cyclone roller coaster. He proceeded to ride the venerable wooden coaster continuously for more than 4 days, pausing only for bathroom breaks. The 104-hour feat — made up of nearly 2,400 trips — was recognized by @guinnessworldrecords as the longest marathon coaster ride. It was a crazy footnote in New York’s summer of ’77, a season marked by the Son of Sam killings, an electricity blackout and glamorous nights at Studio 54. Soon after, Richard was flown around the world to ride roller coasters as a promotion for amusement parks. Then, in 2007, he shattered his own record. The 405 hours and 40 minutes he spent on 2 coasters at Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, England, still stands as the #Guinnessrecord for longest coaster marathon. The 59-year-old’s return to Coney Island this week was part of the commemoration of the Cyclone’s 90th birthday on Monday. As Richard headed to Nathan’s for a hot dog, he looked back at the coaster. “I want to do one more record,” he said. @jtaggfoto photographed the #? king of #ConeyIsland on Thursday.
