I was thinking about having a little competition...
Who knows the most about rollercoasters???
I will make a quiz of 50 questions, the best 10 will proceed to round 2. In round 2 i will make another quiz (i will raise the diffilculty). With 4 people left to go after round 2...i will create some questions, of which the answers aren't easy to answer.
Only 2 people will survive the 3rd round. In round 4, they have to compete against each other in a build-off, the rules of the build-off are hidden in the quiz that has been made in round 3. It sounds complicated, but before each round begins, i will explain it better.
After that, we know who knows the most about coasters

So who dares?

Sorry 'bout the bad English (i'm not so good at it)

Participants:
1.Dirk Ermen
2.GerstlCrazy
3.Vid_w
4.bsktballdude
5.Dragon Fly
6.Hyyyper
7.B and M
8.tiepilot35
9.EElover2
10.

There are some prizes available for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
1st place: 10.000 points
2nd place: 5.000 points
3rd place: 2.000 points

co, i think you don't know enough about coasters to make questions that are difficult enough and yet not like "what year did the 25th boomerang opened" <-- cos that's all on rcdb

Nobody is going to want to participate in a quiz with distorted images, we already have a topic like that going. And if it is trivia, they are never hard or you can easilly look them up.
X2 ??? Intimidator 305 ??? Millennium Force ??? Iron Rattler ??? El Toro ??? Fury 325 ??? Maverick ??? Skyrush ??? Twisted Timbers ??? Voyage

i would give an example, i never said the questions would be like this one, and i don't agree you can easilly look every question up on the internet.....it depends on the question. Like the example question (i know there is already a topic like that), you can't look questions like that up on the internet.

...Well I think it would be...well cool, but the thing is with 25 questions to start and 10 proceeding to the next step, you'll run into trouble. More than ten people will get the answer and they'll be coming at you quick.
1-Millennium Force | 2-Intimidator 305 | 3-Fury 325
4-Skyrush | 5-Iron Rattler | 6-X2 | 7-Kingda Ka

I think you're right, maybe the number of questions is a little bit low. I think i'll make it 50 questions.

No...it's not Superman Ultimate Flight. I'll tell you this.....
Superman WAS in the name, not any more [;)] Ofcourse i won't help you guys in the official quiz.....so are there any participants?
