RCman Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 okay lets try.. 4,777ft of track.. 144ft second drop World's first heartline twist and dive maneuver John Speed Monster at Tusenfryd?
Mr Stratosphere Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Manhattan Express is correct!! John
apollo210 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 ^IT WASN'T YOUR TURN! It was easytoremember's turn! If he hasn't done one for a few day, you can post!
mike okay Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Why are you so worried about whose turn it is to post a question? Seems like if there were more questions going at a time the thread would move faster and you might get some really interesting questions instead of speed/make/hight like most of these are.
apollo210 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 ^No mean to argue, but it the rules. The rules say that the person who gets it correct goes next not a random "out of the blue" person. I actualy think that those people who randomly post are "spaming" but most would disagree. if easytoremember doesn't post tomarrow, someone can go.
easytoremember Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Ok, this one 1. is under 100 ft 2. Has 2 inversions 3. Once was painted brown
hectordelbano Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 This is a stretch, but you could say Montezooma's Revenge: 1. While I believe the spires are just barely too tall, the ride itself doesn't quite make it to the top of either the front or the back, seeing as the flywheels operate at diminished (85%) capacity. 2. While the ride has only one constructed inversion, the coaster passes through it both forwards and backwards, so the riders successfully complete two inversions. 3. The ride had not been painted for a very long time, so it's original coat of orange had significantly faded to a dull brown, before the more recent coat of yellow was added. While this answer has 3 quid pro quos, it is correct to the best of my knowledge, maybe you could help me out.
hectordelbano Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Well, using the logic of most of the previous posters, I would assume that since it has been two days since the last post I am free to post a new puzzle: Three Facts: 1. This roller coaster is the longest surviving coaster in it's park. 2. The top of the first lift hill of this coaster is located directly below another coaster. 3. The ride operators allow you to take and drink sodas while riding, much to the dismay of park officials who say it's unsafe. (The ride ops are right.) No height or inversion list or anything found on a website, just three true facts about the coaster.
apollo210 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 ^How can someone figure that out? I guess Revolution at SFMM, but still, how is that possible?
hectordelbano Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 If you've been on the ride (or actually just looked around this site) you might be able to figure it out. Just posting height, speed, and inversions from an online source is too easy. If you need another hint, here's two: 1. The coaster is yellow. 2. It was built in 1971. Keep working! (not revolution)
apollo210 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 ^You are not supossed to look around the website, its the rules! Also, only three facts per turn. Oh well, I'll guess Goldrusher.
hectordelbano Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Exactly. Goldrusher's lift hill top is directly underneath Superman, and it's the oldest roller coaster at SFMM, built in 1971, with a faded yellow coat of paint. As for the soda, that's just part of what makes it fun, kind of like the shirtless helix parties. As for the rules of the game, just figuring out a coaster from it's stast is kinda boring, why not make the game more interesting and open-ended so that people besides fanatics have a chance at recognizing rides they've experienced. Eh? (I'm not canadian...) Eh? Eh? Whatever...
apollo210 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Ok then: White In New Hampshire Was relocated
hectordelbano Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Yep, that's the only one it could be. There's only like 8 roller coasters in the state, and the only other one that had been relocated was the one at Santa's Village, and it's green.
apollo210 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah, its the Yankee Cannonball! AKA, the roller coaster in my avator! Also Hetordelbano, I think you are looking stuff up. Either that or you are really smart.
NitroRider Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Heres a tough one, I think. 56 MPH Inverted 111 ft. tall.
hectordelbano Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Anaconda at Gold Reef City in Johannesburg? Oh, and I'm not looking stuff up, I was just in New Hampshire on a vacation and looked at ALOT of motel brochures. If only they would have been park maps...
KoasterKidz67 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I've got a couple of guesses. Silver Bullet at Knott's and Raptor @ Cedar Point. Then I've got a far out guess. Nemisis at Alton Towers.
