Free DVD Giveaway Contest!

Hey guys,

The Santa Elves were good to me this Christmas and I have gotten my hands on some extra copies of Coaster Expedition Vol. 14 and Roller Coasters In The Raw Vol. 5!!! What does that mean for you?? A chance to win them of course!!

There will be a series of four contests over the next couple of months where the winner can win one of these Brand New DVDS!!

Here's how this will work:

If you can guess what roller coaster I am thinking of, you can win your choice of either DVD!!

I will post photographs, one at a time, that will be a clue towards the coaster's identity. Each photograph could be a clue to either the coaster's name, location, manufacturer, type of coaster, or a feature/element of the coaster. I will then reward points to each person that comes the closest to guessing how each clue points to the coaster. Therefore, even if you do not get the final answer correct, you can still win!

**MOST IMPORTANT RULE!!** YOU CAN NOT WIN BY SIMPLY BLURTING OUT THE NAME OF ROLLER COASTERS. You will need to explain what about each clue made you are think of it. It is also okay to guess which country, park, manufacturer, etc. you think the coaster is. This is how you get points!!!

Like the scavenger hunt game over the holidays, the more questions you ask me, the more clues I may give you!

Here is the first clue:

What could this mean???

Rockin Roller Coaster at Disneys Hollywood Studios

Time Machine (Led Zeppelin: The Ride) at Freestyle Music Park (Hard Rock Park) because of the record-possibly referring to rock and roll.

A broken record which could mean Formula Rossa which broke the speed record a few months back.

Hmmmm...well, theres the expression about broken records and saying something over and over, so that leads me to think three things:

1. The ride features the same element multiple times.

2. It's a very common ride found in many parks.

3. It's a B&M since it's been said that they're coasters are all very similar or repetitive.

Going to the previously explained broken record theory, I'm going to go with Kingda Ka, as it broke the record for height. Probably too easy of an answer though.

A broken record which could mean Formula Rossa which broke the speed record a few months back.

It did break a record didn't it!

I'm going with Superman the Escape at SFMM. It was first to "break the record" of 400 ft (415) and it's in your backyard.

I just looked in my backyard, and I see no Intamins back there!! Remember, I don't live in Robb's basement.

Two people have already been rewarded 1 point each!

CoasterWeasel and deathbydinn.

If you can figure out why they were rewarded these points, then you can figure what the first clue means!

Time for the 2nd clue!

Who is this and why is he a clue??

He's old, so it's an old coaster. How about an old double corkscrew coaster by Arrow? Python at BGT?

That's Obi Wan Kenobi who is a Jedi that uses the force. Going to guess Millennium Force which was also the first coaster to break 300 ft.

edit- Was going to add that Millennium Force also has airtime hill after airtime hill throughout the ride.

Did at one point any of the Batman roller coasters (ie like the one at Great Adventure) have a record or anything?

That would go with deathbydinn's use of over and over again.

As for Obi-Wan, I could say they are a force to be reckoned with, but I'm sure that's not the case.

And I can already tell this game is going to be way over my head.

Not only is the guy's last Guinness (World Records?), he died in 2000. Based on these two facts, I'm going to guess Steel Dragon 2000, which broke the height record that year.

I am also going to go with Millennium Force at Cedar Point. My reasoning for this includes:

1) It was a record-breaker at one point...

2) Obi-Wan Kenobi uses the Force... Millennium "Force"

Not only is the guy's last Guinness (World Records?), he died in 2000. Based on these two facts, I'm going to guess Steel Dragon 2000, which broke the height record that year.

Very interesting!

Anybody stuck? Ask Questions! Know how to play twenty questions?? I may answer some Yes or No questions that pertain to the two photo clues given so far!

Edit: And the coaster has not been guessed yet.

Does it have to do with any movies Sir Alec Guinness has been in?

Was it a record breaker in the US?

Does it have to do with any movies Sir Alec Guinness has been in?

No.

Was it a record breaker in the US?

The next clue may answer your question.

I'm going with the first Batman coaster at Six Flags Great America

-Broken record as it is now been cloned over 10 times.

- First inverted coaster (can be found in the Guinness book of world records of course at that time.)

Going to take another stab at it and go with Ultimate which is in England where Guinness is from, and was the longest coaster in the world for some time.

Clue #3!

What does this have to do with the coaster??

I'll go with the great american scream machine, it was at once the record breaker for number of inversions and height, it was also old and is dead (torn down 2010) Obi wan was killed by darth vader.
