2004 Rare Entries Contest I is Here!!!

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby DejaVu The Ride on November 20th, 2004, 8:23 pm
After months of advertising, teasers, and hints, it’s finally here! :D

SfGam 2004 Rare Entries Contest I “Do you have what it takes?”
(As seen on Guidetothepoint.com/Pointbuzz.com. Also credit Duane Cahill for masterminding this project on that site. :))

____________________________________________________________
The rules are simple. You will be asked to answer various questions/statements, each of which will have multiple answers. You must answer with only one of those answers .Most of the questions/statements will be pretty easy, but some may require additional research. But this isn’t just some ordinary trivia quiz. You will be competing against all the other active members of SfGamworld.com. The point is to answer each question with the answer you fell other members are least likely to use.

_____________________________________________________________

Points will be awarded through the following procedure:

Let’s say 100 members participate in the contest.
#1. Name one of the roller coasters that opened during the 2001 season.

Let’s say: 71 members answered DejaVu, 23 for Vertical Velocity, 4 for Raging Bull, and 2 did not answer.
The points would be given as follows:
DejaVu-71
V2-23
Raging Bull-100
No answer-100
(If you were to answer wrong or if you did not answer a question, your points will be based off of the maximum number of participants in the contest.)
_____________________________________________________________

Points will be added up at the end of the contest and the person with the least amount of points will be crowned champion. The prize will include bragging rights and the top 3 will be honored in my signature after the contest ends.

There will be 35 questions/statements in this contest. You will be asked to answer each question and when you answer all 35, send all of the answers at the same time to BigJ9132@sbcglobal.net. Give the title the name “Rare Entries”. In the e-mail, you should include your SfGamWorld.com member name and the answers with their corresponding #’s. Once I receive your answers, I will post your name (along with others) in this topic. Make sure you check all of your answers, because once I get them, they are final. Remember, the questions are not intended to ‘trick’ you.
_____________________________________________________________

Time for the twist. (This wouldn’t be the off-season contest that blows away Coaster Survivor without one.) :wink:

Throughout the 2 weeks that this contest will span, I will randomly post several questions (which will have only one answer) in my signature. You will not know when, but they will randomly appear. Once you see it, quickly find the answer and Private Message me. The first person to answer correctly will automatically have a point deducted from their final score. (This could help break ties.) It is important that you check the site often in order to be one of the first to see the question. FYI: Once the question was correctly answered(And I see it), it will disappear from my signature. Also, if you incorrectly answer a question, you will gain 1 point. So make sure you know the right answer before you PM me. Also, I will not tell anyone who got each one right, until the contest is over.
_____________________________________________________________

I'm done. That was an hour of fun! I got stumped on only two questions I think.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

In #6 it says any roller coaster than can run more than two trains/cars.

I'm assuming by cars you mean RC? Because every train has cars attached together.

Wow, this blows my coaster survivor away. But atleast I came up with it :-D. I'll try to get around to doing this sometime. Maybe during Thanksgiving and I'm really bored with all of the relatives.

Hey, I made Rare entries my own by adding a few things. :wink:

Ok, Playerplex. I'm going to have to ask you to send me your answers again because I had a mishap with the e-mails. I never actually received yours(I thought I did.), so if you don't have your orginal, you can try to remember whatever you can.(Also to everyone, Remember to put your name in your e-mail to me. I can't always figure out who is who.)

So far I have heard from:

I received answers from Do I Know You.(Check for a pm from me.)

Here's a tip: When you are asked a question like"_____or______" answer one of the two listed. These should be the easiest questions.

I see problems with the wording of 26: Name a ride that didn’t operate on Opening Day 2004 at SfGam.

Rides that were removed between 1976-2003 didn't operate on Opening Day 2004. Furthermore, any other ride at any other park didn't operate at SFGam.

Crazy answers as results of loopholes are what could decide the contest.
