We're back from the first ever Single Riders Marathon at Kennywood Park.

Despite the rain, the event was a complete success and brought in close to $4000 in donations to Give Kids The World.

Congratulations to Clint Novak, Will Holder, Katie and the rest of the Coaster Crew for coming up with such a great idea.  They devoted a lot of time and energy in order to pull the event off.

In our opinion, this is exactly what coaster enthusiast groups should be doing.  Hopefully this is the first of many successful charity events that they will have.  We also hope that other coaster groups and websites will follow their lead.

Mario, Flava and Mike presented a check for $1,138 on behalf of the listeners and friends of CoasterRadio.com.  They then got to marathon on The Racer, logging 25 rides in just over an hour.

The highlight of the weekend, was getting a chance to host The Coaster Crew's Guide to the Midway podcast.  This was the first time the guys have actually done a real "theme park" podcast in 9 months.

They interviewed Kennywood GM Jerome Gibas, dished on their favorite rides and attractions, and also had a chance to try the world-famous Potato Patch fries.
