British man rides 55 different roller coasters in one week

I visited my first theme park as a teenager and quickly realized I loved the adrenaline rush,” Stokes told Guinness World Records. “I enjoy finding new theme parks to visit and taking in the whole ambiance from theming, the music and through to the rides themselves.”

Stokes started his attempt Aug. 2 at Brighton Palace Pier and ended one week later at Thorpe Park in Surrey.

Stokes said his original plan was to ride more than 60 coasters in a week, but weather led to two theme parks being unexpectedly closed in the middle of the week.

He said his favorite coaster of the attempt was the Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
