beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Was the Cyclone possibly the tallest coaster in the world when it was built? Could that refer to the Vertical Limit pic?
ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 New York City is the correct link to the 2nd photo and the Jesse Eisenberg clue! But how does New York City relate to our mystery ride. Â Hint: The ride is not located in New York.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I think it's Manhattan Express for a couple reasons.... Â -Many people wish it was blown away in a Tornado -Jesse is from New York, themed after New York -Visiting a German city in the Alps would be more fun -The Vertical Limit could be a crane people will rent to destroy the ride! Â Hope I'm right!
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 ^^How about the New York, New York Coaster in Vegas? Vertical Limit could refer to the height of the ride. Wasn't it the tallest when it was built? Â Edit: How bout Millennium Force? It was marketed as 5 feet taller than the Statue Of Liberty, and was definitely the tallest coaster in the world when it was built. CP also used to have a coaster called the Cyclone, which could refer to the RHCP cover.
ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Okay, here is a clue: Â The third photo (the mountain village) refers to the manufacturer of the ride.
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) ^Intamin is a swiss company, where they have the Alps! Would all fit with Millennium Force! Â Edit: B&M is Swiss as well for the record. Edited December 28, 2010 by beatle11
Migs310 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I believe the manufacturer is Arrow and the ride is the Carolina Cyclone. Â EDIT: Carolina Cyclone is located at Carowinds in which we talked about earlier with the IntimidaTOUR trip.
VinTheAttendant Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Just joining back in. Â Gerstlauer is a German company and the Vertical Limit is pointing me to Eurofighter. Â Edit: Dollywood was on Intimidatour so my guess is Mystery Mine. Edited December 28, 2010 by VinTheAttendant
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) ^ Speed: No Limits at Oakwood? Â Edit: Maybe Hurracan (ie Hurricane...RHCP cover) at Belantis? Â 2nd Edit: How about Euro Mir at Europa Park? Built by Mack, German company. Spinning Coaster could refer to the RHCP cover, or the Spiral Lift for that matter. Which could nominate Euro Sat as well. The theming of the Euro Mir coaster, if you stretch your thinking, sort of looks like skyscrapers, which there are lots of in NYC!

ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Just joining back in. Gerstlauer is a German company and the Vertical Limit is pointing me to Eurofighter.   You are on the right track here, but neither the manufacturer nor the ride is correct.
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 How about a Maurer Sohne spinning coaster? Â Edit: You said the ride was not in New York. Did you mean the city or the state? If you meant just the city, than Whirlwind at SeaBreeze might fit. But if not than its wrong.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I think it is Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket at Universal Studios Florida! I think the park is set in New York City, which ties in. Vertical lift relates to the vertical clue. And the Social Network picture could refer to a famous Hollywood movie, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit! Â Edit: Maurer being the company, ties in with the mountain picture. Â 2nd Edit: I think the Tornado refer to the Tornado: Ride it out ride!
ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) ^Ding Ding! You are correct! Â The ride actually goes directly through one of the backdrops for the New York City section at Universal Studios. Â The ride has a vertical lift hill and drop. Â Now, how do the first and third photo relate to the ride? Â Edit: Just saw you edited your photo. Yes, the ride is manufactured by Maurer Sohne and it is adjacent to the Twister attraction at the park. Â Jerrykoala2112 has won the Bag-Of-Crap with 12 points. What a comeback! Â Jeremy, PM me your mailing address so we can get that sent out to you. Edited December 28, 2010 by ernierocker

Â The ride actually goes directly through one of the backdrops for the New York City section at Universal Studios. Â The ride has a vertical lift hill and drop.

Edited December 28, 2010 by Migs310
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Edit: Awesome! Lots of hours spent finding the ride
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 The third photo is of mountains which there are alot of in Germany where Maurer is based out of.
ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) ^^I edited my post as I just saw that you edited your answer. Edited December 28, 2010 by ernierocker
VinTheAttendant Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 GAH!! I was going to say that but I dismissed it for reasons unknown to even myself! Â Congratulations JerryKoala2112 and thanks ernierocker for another awesome game!
beatle11 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) That was definitely fun. What were the final standings by the way? Nice job JerryKoala. Edited December 28, 2010 by beatle11
ernierocker Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) The final standings were:  Jerrykoala2112 - 12 pts. (earned 9 pts in the final round!) beatle11 - 7 pts. Migs310 - 4 pts.

I will try and do another game in the next week or so, but this time it will be a LOT less involved for you guys and for me! Edited December 28, 2010 by ernierocker
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 This was a really fun, but tough, contest!!! I'm actually surprised I won, but the clues were very well thought out. Thanks to everyone else for playing, you guys made the giveaway a lot more intimidating!
ernierocker Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) We haven't had one of these on here in awhile, so how about a Bag of Crap Giveaway for the main forum?!?! Â This one will work extremely similar to the one I did earlier on the Facebook page today. Except instead of a theme park, I am thinking of a roller coaster. All you have to do is guess which one to win the Bag of Crap! To narrow down which coaster it is, you will need to ask questions! My answers may not be straightforward depending on the question. Â Here we go, start your guessing! Edited June 12, 2011 by ernierocker
SoCalCoasters Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Is this coaster located in the United States?
