Looping lecturer smashes roller coaster record

Dedicated roller coaster fan Richard Rodriguez has broken his fifteenth world record as he succeeded in spending 104 days taking the curves of one of the world's largest big dippers."It got more difficult to ride and ride because of the muscle fatigue with all the G-force. It wears you down a bit," said Rodriguez, a lecturer at the Loyola University Chicago, as he stepped down from the ride in Hassloch's Holiday Park on which he has spent 10 hours a day since mid-May.
