An update to last week's Hug Record Attempt at Six Flags Over Texas: "Brandon Overbee set a new unofficial record for the most hugs in one day at one location yesterday at Six Flags Over Texas. Just before 10:30 last night, Brandon received 5,232 hugs from guests and employees while at the park. Brandon must now submit his paper and video documentation to the Guinness World Record Book office for review before his attempt can be made official."
