FLIPDUDE Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 http://karilex.deviantart.com/art/Chess-Coaster-69106928 I just bumped into this picture on Deviantart. Apparantly this is a trend and theres even a webpage with pics full of similar photos, all inspired by a comic. http://www.xkcd.com/chesscoaster/ Just thought I should share this.
uwgbdork Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That can only be described as one of the best on-ride photos ever!!!!!!!They really pulled it off well.
Purplepills Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Ha that is one of the best I have seen. It's not quite as cool as the TPR Tower of Terror one but it is really well done.
Hand 0f Time Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Omg! I'm so tempted to start doing that now. Lol! They pulled off the picture great. I had to favorite it.
TurboWagon Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Mmm, lets wait in line for this coaster just so we can fake-play some chess. I guess there is always a new way to have "fun" on a coaster.
FLIPDUDE Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 ^Uhm... I doubt they waited for the ride "just" to play a fake game on it I'm pretty sure they were gonna ride it anyway.
DeliriumTrigger Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, somebody actually did this? I've always wanted to since I saw the comic a few years ago...Didn't think it'd be very easy/possible to get the prop on the ride though.
jamesdillaman Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 It's a funny picture, but I wonder how many of those pictures were against the park policy. I know for a fact just due to the caption of the one on Loch Ness Monster that those people were blatantly disregarding park rules. They said they had a tough time sneaking the board and chess pieces on. Besides that, I love the pictures. -James Dillaman
Coasterlvr_nc Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 ^ you never know, Some of them MAY have asked for permission to do so.
Carnage Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 My only thought after seeing the pic was: "Chess isn't played with four people"
FLIPDUDE Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 Heheh, yeah, it kinda occured to me too, but I firt thought "that is freaking awesome." and only then "chess isn't played with 4 people." So they did their job.
coolhandluke Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 ^ & ^^ I've played team chess before. Or two of them could be spectating. But yeah, for all intents and purposes, it's a two person game. Funny pics, not sure about the legality, but they are still amusing. Certainly more unique than any on-ride I've been in...
DBru Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I've seen this picture somewhere before. There are other EXTREME CHESS pictures too. I know there is one on Steel Eel...
CP_RULES Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Is this a real chess board or a prop where the pieces are glued down? Seems like it'd be hard to keep it all in place during the ride.
Space Freak Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Of course, now we need to one up them! Now if someone could only get a game of Warhammer 40K going...
coolhandluke Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 ^^Both. It's a real chess board where the pieces are glued down. ^I was thinking Risk myself. Either way...
the sound Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Meh, chess boxing is better imo. But this is still pretty cool. I think someone should try extreme jigsaw or something next, or extreme Jenga, or extreme twister. Now that would be really awesome.
steel Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Totally, completely, without a doubt against a crapload of park rules that were established for fantastic reasons. But fun to see. I wondered if anyone had ever done that.
Edward Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 My goodness. Now I want to make a picture in that style. Heh, playing UT3 on a laptop during this... On a PS2 Pad! Or trying to build the Rollercoaster in NoLimits as you ride it. Either way, I don't think I'm gonna have a prop on the ride, sorry. Maybe CG it. Was thinking of making some absolutely mad clip of someone eating a Kebab Roll on a mad coaster. /Edward
FLIPDUDE Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 ^Oh that would end badly. I've seen a japanese video of a woman trying to put on makeup on a coaster. She ende dup looking like a clown. There's also an old vid of british boy scouts trying to eat on the irn bru revolution at BPB.
larrygator Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 ^ you never know, Some of them MAY have asked for permission to do so. Patron: "Excuse me, could I bring this item on the ride that might fly out of my hand and cause bodily damage to the people sitting behind me if it hits them." Park Employee: "Sure"
TheDumbFairy Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 ^ you never know, Some of them MAY have asked for permission to do so. Patron: "Excuse me, could I bring this item on the ride that might fly out of my hand and cause bodily damage to the people sitting behind me if it hits them." Park Employee: "Sure" The sad thing is, I've worked some rides where that was the case. : / shocking but true.
