AP Top News｜加州男子创下迪士尼乐园“赛车总动员”项目第15000次乘坐纪录

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) For a Disneyland enthusiast who marked his 15,000th spin Monday on an auto-racing attraction inspired by the animated film Cars, its not about winning.

Its about the ride.

Jon Alan Hale said he was eager to try out the Radiator Springs Racers ride at Disney California Adventure after undergoing gastric bypass and knee replacement surgeries in 2010 and 2011. He said he quickly found himself hooked on the ride, which debuted in 2012, and began tracking his races in a notebook, jotting down his cars color, lane and whether he wins or loses.

I fell in love with the ride, said the television technician from Brea, California.

Hale said he started carrying a sign to mark every hundredth ride, and remembered how Disneyland workers clapped when he reached 1,000.

On Monday, Hale took the ride with friends who work at the theme park while wearing a Cars themed cap and holding a 15,000 sign.

Hale said hes visited the Anaheim, California, resort known as the Happiest Place on Earth more than 1,100 times. He said hes taken the ride on average 13 times each visit, largely thanks to the fast-moving line for single riders.

He said he doesnt tire of it, especially since he never knows which car is going to pull ahead and win.

You dont know who is going to win the race, Hale said. There is no pattern of who wins or loses.

Hale said theres no formal record for riding the attraction inspired by the 2006 Pixar film released by Walt Disney Pictures. He said Disneyland officials said they dont have one and Guinness World Records said they dont track it either. Disneyland officials did not immediately comment on Hales ride Monday.

But on his quest, Hale said hes come away with more than just a number. Hes gotten to know people at the park and become friends with some of the workers.

Its like family, Hale said. Everybody recognized me, theyre rooting for me.

美联社加利福尼亚州圣安娜电——一位迪士尼乐园狂热粉丝本周一在动画电影《赛车总动员》主题的赛车游乐设施上完成了他的第15000次乘坐，对他来说，这无关胜负。

关键在于过程。

乔恩·艾伦·黑尔表示，他在2010年和2011年接受胃旁路手术和膝关节置换手术后，迫不及待地想体验迪士尼加州冒险乐园的《赛车总动员》主题游乐设施。他坦言自己很快迷上了这个2012年推出的项目，并开始用笔记本记录每次比赛——详细写下赛车颜色、所在赛道及胜负结果。

“我爱上了这段旅程。”来自加利福尼亚州布里亚的电视技术员说道。

黑尔表示，他开始举着牌子记录每一百次乘坐，并回忆道当达到一千次时，迪士尼乐园的员工们曾为他鼓掌喝彩。

周一，黑尔戴着《赛车总动员》主题帽、举着15000的标牌，与在主题公园工作的朋友们一同体验了游乐设施。

黑尔表示，他已造访位于加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆、被誉为"地球上最快乐的地方"的度假区超过1100次。他透露每次到访平均会乘坐游乐设施13次，这主要得益于单人游客通道的快速通行优势。

他表示自己乐此不疲，尤其是永远无法预知哪辆车会后来居上、赢得比赛。

“你无法预知谁会赢得比赛，”黑尔说道，“胜负并无规律可循。”

黑尔表示，目前没有关于乘坐迪士尼皮克斯2006年动画电影改编景点的正式记录。他称迪士尼乐园官方回应未保留相关数据，吉尼斯世界纪录也声明未追踪此类信息。截至周一，迪士尼官方尚未对黑尔的乘坐行为作出即时回应。

但黑尔表示，他在追寻过程中收获的远不止一个数字。他结识了公园里的人，还与一些工作人员成为了朋友。

“就像家人一样，”黑尔说道，“每个人都认识我，都在为我加油。”
