Breaking a World Record? It’s as Easy as Falling Off a Log!

‘Dangerous’ Dave is attempting to set a new world record by
spending over 24 hours on a Log Flume! To break the current world
record Dangerous Dave will be subject to a 30ft plummet over a
thousand times.

Thrill seeking; Dangerous Dave has been persuaded to take on the
record by fellow Gem 106 presenters Sam & Amy.

The record attempt is taking place today and tomorrow at
Twinlakes Theme Park in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire and began at
Thursday 14^th of July at 7.30am.

The precise record Dangerous Dave is attempting is the ‘longest
time continuously riding an attraction at a theme park’. The record
currently belongs to Blaine Martin who in 2004 rode a Ferris Wheel
non-stop for 24 hours and 9 minutes in San Angelo Texas.

Gem 106 Breakfast Presenter and adrenaline junkie ‘Dangerous’
Dave said: “Everyone is saying how tough the breaking the record is
going to be, but to be honest I’m not particularly worried. I’ve
been on loads of rides over the years; I think it is going to be
great fun… You don’t get a name like ‘Dangerous’ Dave without
being able to back it up.”

Twinlakes Park Manager Sandy Gyorvari said: “We are delighted to
host such an exciting event; we have full confidence in Dangerous
Dave, We have even taken a spare log to the studio for Dave to
practice in, however we are not sure that his training regime of
sitting in a static log while colleagues throw water and wet
sponges at him will sufficiently prepare him!”
