I rode that about 10 years ago - and it was pretty rough - 13 hours is a long time.

I've always wanted to do a roller coaster marathon.

I'd much rather do this than eat a raw cockroach....

Contests like this aren't unusual...but that doesn't seem like much of a prize for 13 hours of riding.

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

I couldn't because I can't do backwards coasters. The backwards screws me up so much.

With the God awful shape they keep that thing in, that would be tough!

I could do it, but not for anything less then a car!! oh yeah, this old bag could do it

I just called and asked for seats for Lisa and Myself...

And I like the "Jason" offer...

Anybody who can show ID that says there first name is "Jason" gets in free after 3 PM on Friday, October 13th...

And as for the Marathon prizes, the prizes are worth over $400, not bad....

Hmm - I dunno. 13 hours on that teeth-and-bone rattler seems like an awful long time to win a pair of season passes and the Fright Fest VIP access.

If anyone can do it, Darkbeer can.

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

I probably could, but I have to do the whole working thing....my job is a tad more important than passes.........

I would so do this ... if:

I wasn't flying home from Indianapolis that morning

It wasn't Colossus. If this was Colossus of 10 years ago it would be an awesome event. But 2 or 3 rides on this ride is enough.

That sounds painful!

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

As much as I love backwards coasters (or at least the one at King's Island) i'd have to turn down that offer. So not worth it for a season pass, even if it is VIP. Those suckers do hurt after a time or two, I think i'd end up with damage if I tried that.

Good luck to all who do enter.

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

I could probably do it.

[Darkbeer]

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

Just got the call, Lisa and I are on the list....

45 minutes on the coaster, then a 15 minute break, repeat another 12 times....

Re: Can you ride Colossus 'backwards' for 13 straight hours?

wow dave I am so excited for you both! I will be sure to root you on there, and I hope you win!!! ( ok I can pray you win, but when you win you owe me a cold drink!! :lol:
