 Do
you enjoy riding roller coasters? Both the young and old all over
the world enjoy riding them. However, no matter how much you love
riding roller coasters, riding them more than 10 times a day is not
easy.
To our surprise, a 78-year-old American man named Vic Kleman recently
managed to ride a roller coaster called the Jack Rabbit 90 times a
day! Mr. Kleman is a huge fan of the wooden roller coaster at
Kennywood Park in Pennsylvania.
In fact, he loves the roller coaster so much that he has
been riding it since 1959! Built in 1921, the Jack Rabbit
is one of the oldest roller coasters in the world.
Mr. Kleman usually rides the Jack Rabbit about 20 times a visit, but
he rode it 90 times on August 15 to celebrate the roller coaster’s
90th anniversary, taking his 4,000th ride on it. It took him about
five hours.
The amusement park presented
Mr. Kleman with a certificate verifying his number of trips.
“It’s just fun. I’m not trying to break any records or anything,”
said Mr. Kleman.
“I never got bored riding the Jack Rabbit.” Keep riding the Jack Rabbit
and have a lot of fun, Mr. Kleman! |
