Naked rollercoaster record smashed

MORE than 100 thrill-seekers have ridden a rollercoaster naked, smashing the world record.

The 102 naked adrenaline junkies rode into the record books on the Green Scream Rollercoaster at Southend-on-Sea, England.

The attempt broke the previous record by 70 riders and raised $38,000 for Southend Hospital’s cancer research foundation’s Bosom Pals Appeal.

Bosom Pals fundraiser manager Barbara Warner praised everyone for baring all for the charity.

"It takes a lot of nerve to take off all your clothes in front of 102 complete strangers, plus the world's media - so we would like to say a massive thank you,” she said.

In 2004, to mark 50 years of Guinness World Records, 32 people rode on the Nemesis at Alton Towers in England to beat the previous record of 28 held by Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park, also in England.

It also broke records by creating a new Worst Ever Amusement Park Job.

“Vomit Cleaner” was surpassed by “Naked-Coaster Seat Wiper.”

The article says that 102 naked people broke the record. Barbara Warner says that they got naked in front of 102 other people, which means that 103 people got naked. How embarrassing.
