by Hannah Tooley

73-year-old Gary Coleman, from Monfort Heights sat in the front row of the Diamondback roller coaster at King's Island amusement park in Ohio for the milestone ride.

He has made almost 500 trips to the theme park since it opened.

The Diamondback is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the park, reaching speeds of up to 80mph.

Mr Coleman has reportedly loved rides since he was younger, and says he will keep riding the roller coaster as long as he remains healthy enough to do so.
