Each theme park fan has a favourite journey. If they’re fortunate, perhaps they get to journey it twice in a single go to. In the event that they stay close to Disneyland or Common Studios, they’ll in all probability go a pair dozen occasions in a lifetime. Within the grand scheme of issues, that’s loads when you consider it.
However a pair dozen occasions is nothing for Jon Hale of Brea, California. Hale has ridden Radiator Springs Racers, the Automobiles-themed attraction at Disneyland’s California Journey Park, over 15,000 occasions.
That’s not a typo. He’s been on the Automobiles journey greater than 15,000 occasions.
In line with ABC, “Hale’s love for the Automobiles-themed journey started in 2012 when he visited the park for the primary time since having a gastric bypass surgical procedure, two knee replacements and shedding over 150 kilos. He celebrated by getting on the attraction.”
Since then, he has documented his hundreds and hundreds of rides on his Instagram account. He hit 15,000 rides on December 8, 2025.

Radiator Springs Racers takes a photograph of you every time you journey, so Hale has photographic proof of every of his rides. He instructed ABC he writes down every one of many 15,000 rides in a pocket book “the place I hold observe of the journey’s quantity. I additionally hold observe of the lane for the race… And the colour of the automotive, and whether or not or not I win the race.”
This video exhibits all of the milestone bylines:
I can’t think about happening any Disneyland journey 100 occasions, a lot much less 1,000, a lot much less 15,000. (Hale notes on his Instagram account that it took him “1,123 days at Racers averaging 13.35 rides per go to” to hit 15,000 rides. 13 rides per go to!) Truthfully I can’t think about doing something in my life 15,000 occasions. How a lot do it’s a must to love something to do it 15,000 occasions? I might like to go to Disneyland 1,123 occasions, however I believe I’d in all probability need to go on the Haunted Mansion a few times too.
Anyway, it is a legitimately spectacular accomplishment, and I doubt anybody will ever even come near matching it. However simply to be protected, I like to recommend Jon Hale hold going till he hits 20,000.
