As a professional theme park journalist, I spend a fair amount of my time in theme parks. While I probably don’t get to go on rides quite as often as you might think, because that annoying work thing gets in the way, I’ve certainly done more than my share. I have my favorite rides that I like to do as much as possible, just like anybody else, but I have probably only ridden my favorite rides dozens of times.
As a theme park junkie, I have to tip my mouse ear hat to Jon Hale, a Southern California man who is coming up on his 15,000th ride of Radiator Springs Racers, the Cars-themed dark ride found at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. ABC 7 in L.A. has the full story, which is just wild. Check it out.
