'I went upside down 400 times on a Flamingo Land rollercoaster in one day'

A thrill seeker has gone upside down more than 400 times in just a few hours in his latest challenge - riding a Flamingo Land roller coaster continuously all day.

Joe Marshall, 39, has been running a successful YouTube channel Theme Park Insanity since July 2019 and has ridden hundreds of roller coasters across the globe.

The channel is now his full-time career, with thousands of subscribers tuning in for his adventures.

Joe rode Sik from morning till evening at the Malton park on Sunday September 13, completing 42 rides in the same day.

Sik is a steel coaster which opened at the popular park in July 2022.

The Intamin sit-down coaster – which reportedly cost more than £20m to build – is 875 metres long, reaches a height of 33 metres, and has ten inversions.

He also recently donned a Superman outfit for a similar challenge of 30 rides on Hero, a flying-style coaster at the park.

Joe said he had been a theme park enthusiast his entire life.

“My favourite theme park overall so far is Efteling in the Netherlands and my favourite roller coaster is Zadra which is a wooden and steel inverting hybrid roller coaster located at a park called Energylandia in Poland", Joe explained.

"I have another challenge coming up tomorrow in which I plan to ride The Smiler at Alton Towers all day and have also recently done the same with Nemesis Reborn earlier this week too.

"I'm currently looking forward to my biggest and best Halloween season so far and also have some very exciting plans for brand new types of challenges in 2027 too.”
