total13 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 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! Poster Plus - Roller Coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Actually, there are 1,307,674,368,000 different possible combinations. This is hopeless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 #1 - Cyclone, Astroworld #2 - Thunderbolt, Kennywood #3 - Beast, King's Island #4 - Cyclone, SFNE #5 - Space Mountain, WDW #6 - Mr. Twister, Elitch's Gardens #7 - Big Bad Wolf, BGE #8 - American Eagle, SFGAm #9 - Colossus, SFMM #10 - Comet, Crystal Beach #11 - Texas Cyclone #12 - Comet, Hershey Park #13 - Giant Dipper, SCBB #14 - Mindbender, SFOG #15 - Rebel Yell, King's Dominion 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
