Alabama Splash Adventure and the Alabama Organ Center are teaming up to host an eight-hour coaster marathon to raise money and awareness about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation. Yes, that’s right! Ride a roller coaster for eight hours – representing the eight lives one person can save by becoming an organ donor.

The event is set for Friday, July 13th and will begin in the early hours of the morning from 2am-10am. The fundraiser will test the stamina of the individual participants. Rampage takes riders up a 120-foot lift hill and drops them 102 feet at speeds of 56 miles per hour as they travel across 3,500 feet of track. After the eight hour Coasterthon participants will be allowed to enjoy the entire day at the park. The fundraisers who last the entire duration and the individual who raises the most overall money will be rewarded with special prizes!

The top 24 individuals who raise at least $100 will have the unique opportunity to ride the park’s world—class wooden roller coaster on July 13th. Rampage requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall and riders will sign a release at check-in. Those under the age of 18 need their parent or guardian to sign for them.
