Although the 42yearold man said he felt sick on the first few days，he said he soon got over the problem.
“My face hurts sharply and I have a little backache，but I am good.”
The “Expedition GeForce” is one of the world's biggest roller coasters.It measures 62 meters at its highest point.
On his 95th day on the coaster，after travelling over 25,000 kilometers，Rodriguez had a toothache and was treated by a local dentist.He went on after that and succeeded in breaking the record.
