I can't even ride it once without getting a headache. Who would sign up if your schedule permitted?

Not I said the younger man with an older man's equilibrium. I can take a few times before my head begins to hurt, and my eyes start to ache. Never lost my lunch despite many many rides at many many parks, I just hate life for a while afterwards and need some water, a nap and some Advil.

The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

I thought I could never get sick ridding rides.  Then the company I work for had a park night at Disney MGM studios.   We got to ride the Tower of Terror and the rock and roller coaster all we wanted.  We rode the roller coaster 13 times in a row and got to walk through without waiting.  Well about the 12 time here came the spins.  I am sure the same would happen on Wildfire.   It would be a blast to try and yes I would sign up

Same here!  It's my wife and son's favorite ride.  I do really like the theming of it, however.  I remember how excited I was to ride it the first time and when I got off the first thing I thought was I'm too old to go upside down- let's ride Fire in the Hole!  :D

I couldn't handle it! How about a Flooded Mine marathon? Even the Ladybugs kiddie ride would "bug" me after a while! Ha!

Depends on how many times a marathon is but I can say with Mom we rode at least 5 in a row, with my sis & her kids we did I think like 8. Yeah, I had to sit for awhile afterwards just to get my bearings. I think Lance rode once and really won't go again..poor guy. FITH I'm sure I could do all day, now the electroslide (hope that's correct) probably twice would do me in. Giant Swing all day long!

Anytime I see someone riding the rollercoasters I get a little envious.  I am right there riding with them in spirit only, not physically.  I only wish I could!  In 1993 which I think was the first year Thunderation was open I rode it 8 straight times.  After the last time I could not see or walk straight and felt nauseated for a week.  In the 18 years since then I have not been able to ride coasters like Thunderation, Wildfire, or Powderkeg.  I have no history of heart problems or have I ever had a seizure (except maybe for that day).  I do and can ride FITH which is quite a bit milder than the others.  So! I don't believe I will be signing up for the Wildfire marathon anytime soon.  But I am a really good watcher  :).

I'd sign up for it! So long as my competitors had a nice big breakfast at Molly's Mill first.  :P

How-doFolks

I'm out.. I dq myself, i tried riding it twice in a row & was messed up the rest'a the day. 1 time, i'm good.
Live life like it's the last day!


rubedugans

The FM yes, FITH maybe, others...sorry I will watch.

Ozark Outlaw

How about a ride the Train marathon? Now THAT I would do. :D
