Game: Rank These Coasters Circa 1985


Recommended Posts

So I was thumbing through old park maps and came across this "book" that I bought for $1.95 at a grade school book fair. On the back, it lists the Top 15 Roller Coasters from 1985. I'm curious how long it would take before a TPR member could place them in the correct order?

 

Coaster - Park

American Eagle - Six Flags Great America

Beast - King's Island

Big Bad Wolf - Busch Gardens (Europe)

Colossus - Six Flags Magic Mountain

Comet - Crystal Beach (Ontario Canada)

Comet - Hershey Park

Cyclone - Astroland (Coney Island)

Giant Dipper - Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Mind Bender - Six Flags Over Georgia

Mr. Twister - Elitch's Gardens

Rebel Yell - King's Dominion

(Riverside) Cyclone - Riverside Park (SFNE)

Space Mountain - Disneyworld

Texas Cyclone - Six Flags Astroworld

Thunderbolt - Kennywood Park

 

Rules: I couldn't find any reference to this book anywhere so it may be virtually impossible to cheat, but please don't try. If you somehow happen to also own this list, please don't play. Post your guesses in a list like shown above with #1 at the top and #15 at the bottom. I will try to post a response to each submission individually with a simple number of how many you have correct. If I can't get to you individually, I will do a batch of submission scores all at once. You have to wait to see how many you had correct in your latest guess before submitting another. No multiple guesses at a time - in other words, you can't post 225 different guesses (the number of possible results, I think: 15x15... ) I will post the rear cover of the book (as well as the inside pages) when someone gets all 15 correct. Thanks & good luck!

Actually, there are 1,307,674,368,000 different possible combinations. This is hopeless!

 

OK, so my math was off by a little

 

I actually don't think it'd be "hopeless", especially since you could compare how many the entries before you got correct. I'll bet that someone could do it within 10 pages of the thread.

I'm assuming I'm gonna do badly. The first couple were serious guesses, but by the end I was just trusting my intuition to decide which coaster should go next

4 Correct. 3 right next to each other. But now only 1 of your "C"s is correct... Good job though!
