  1. Lightning Bolt! MGM Grand Adventures! Two lift hills, 2nd was an extension, European manufacturers, built in the USA, subcontracted by Giovanola!
  2. American Eagle at SFGAm. Two lift hills, two tracks, two words. Major trim brakes have extended the ride. It's a huge coaster on the skyline. Designed by Europeans, built in America (also red, white, and blue), and Intamin was the company who built it, and they are located in Zurich. If this isn't right, I'm getting a beer. That way I'll win regardless.
  3. Zurich is in Switzerland, the manufacturer is Swiss.
  4. I'm guessing California Screamin'. It has two launched lift hills, the ride was extended recently when they added brakes to slow the ride down, it's an integral part of DCA's skyline, designed in Europe, built in the U.S. That's all I got. EDIT: Oh, and the ride name has two words.
  5. The coaster itself is located in Europe?
  6. Gotcha. My brain isn't working too well right now, too many natural disasters this week.
  7. The 2nd Beast (SOB) is the most prominent thing on the KI skyline. (Am I understanding correctly that all clues pertain to Beast, or is it a new coaster every time? Directions weren't exactly clear on that.)
  8. Only the two lift hills of Beast show up on the skyline, one of them being the 2nd one which extended the ride.
  9. The 2nd lift hill is an extension to the ride.
  10. Wow, that wasn't as obscure as usual. But yay for points!
  11. Has it operated at two separate parks?
  12. Are there two words in the ride name?
  13. Yesterday afternoon, over a couple beers, a good friend of mine started telling another friend how, "Someone falls out of Berzerker at KD and dies or gets seriously injured EVERY SEASON!" And he was dead serious. I had to resist the urge to slap him, especially after I showed him rideaccidents.com and the list of incidents at CF parks on Wikipedia. He still insisted that someone falls out of the ride every year. Oy.
  14. Oh jeez. Ready..........go! Busch Gardens Tampa Boomers! Old Town SeaWorld Orlando Central Park Fun Land (Fredericksburg, VA) Kings Dominion Busch Gardens Williamsburg Six Flags America Adventure Park USA Six Flags Great Adventure Jenkinson's Boardwalk Casino Pier Funtown Pier Blackbeard's Cave Fantasy Island Steel Pier Gillian's Wonderland Pier Playland's Castaway Cove Morey's Piers Fun Spot USA Camden Park Jungle Jack's Landing Cedar Point Waldameer Conneaut Lake Park Go-Karts Plus Clementon Park Bowcraft Playland Astroland Deno's Wonder Wheel Park Scream Zone Luna Park Quassy Amusement Park Lake Compounce Six Flags New England Palace Playland Funtown Splashtown USA Canobie Lake Park La Ronde The Great Escape Magic Forest Sesame Place Dutch Wonderland Dorney Park Knoebels Hersheypark For those of you keeping count, that's 46 parks this year, or almost 60% of the parks I've visited in my lifetime. What a year!
  15. ^Good point. Well, we've all seen those weather shows before that show how random tornadoes can be, maybe it could just take out the lift hills.
  16. Here's hoping it took out Rolling Thunder, Dark Knight, and King Daka.
  17. ^^I definitely did say to Jen on a few occasions, "Well, at least I got the credit!" And I'm grateful for that fact, at least. Just the inconsistency is what really pissed me off, aside from the fact that the policy makes absolutely no sense. But thank you for the compliment on the pictures and yes, it was a pleasure meeting you and being on the back of the bus crew together! And as Jen just said, I'm eternally grateful that you let us move into the crazy leg room row, it was a life saver!
  18. ^Let me guess, that's the only one you've ridden.
