Roller Coaster Tycoon

-

Welshman Ryan Hackett has had a passion for roller coasters from a young age. His love for the ride kicked up a notch back in 1996, when he was among those selected to brave the Megafobia - a wooden rollercoas­ter at the Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokesh­ire - before it officially opened to the public. That day, Hackett rode the coaster a total of 21 times. Hackett, now age 61, recently took his 6,000th turn on that very same rollercoas­ter. In an interview with CBC, he even referred to the Megafobia by the nickname “Maggie.”
