Coaster Apocalypse 2015

[Turbo]

I brought this game back last year in 2014 and we had a huge success with it, so we are doing it again this year!

Basics: Everyone who participates will pick 3 rides. These have to be on RCDB and must have at least four pictures on RCDB. Each day for the next 30 days I will record the first 40 random coasters I find on RCDB. Those 40 coasters will be destroyed, yes 1200 coasters will be destroyed. There are still a lot more (last time I checked) rides that will be safe. The goal is to have the most coasters by the end of the 30th day.

TTD03 will be helping me out this year with the game as it became very stressful near the end. So anything he or I says is the final decision for anything relating to this game.

Rules:

- 3 rides, no more, no less
- Ride page must have at least 1 picture
- no butterfly's (that hurts to spell), dragon wagons or caterpillars.
- People may have the same ride (Don't copy someone else's entire list on purpose).
- People may enter until Sunday, January 18th, 2015 at 11:59 PM EST. The Apocalypse will begin on January 19th, 2015.
- TTD03 and myself have the final call on anything relating to this game.

To provide your list for the game, you can either post it as a reply here, or as a PM to either TTD03 or myself.

I will post everyone's list here as an edit to this post.

If you have questions or suggestions, go ahead and ask! As long as you ask before the deadline! Thank you!

Good luck to everyone!

2014's game and results

What's up guys, bringing this topic up to ask about the game before I take on contestants. Tell me what you thought about the game and what should be improved upon, I want to hear all ideas

To clarify, I am NOT taking on contestants at this time, registration will be sometime in December through December 31. The game starts on January 1st, 2015.

Sounds interesting - I'll just leave a comment here to stay updated!

im in

[Turbo]

tell me what you guys think about the last game. Is there anything I can improve on?

[mkingy]

Not much to improve on in my opinion - it's fairly straightforward.

Perhaps try it with the rule you can't pick a coaster that has already been picked? I'm happy with the way it was done before though so if you decide to keep it as is that's fine with me!

Just try to make sure you have a system to make it easy for yourself!

[TTD03]

Only thing you can improve on is getting some help with it
I remember you were dying near the end of the game

[Paradox]

The trick to winning is to pick obscure coasters that would never show up.

[TTD03]

Seems with RCDB though, the most random coasters always come up

[Turbo]

Especially in this game lol. The rules will be slightly modified this year to disallow choosing a butterfly or other super tiny and over used roller coaster.

Also having some help would be nice having someone besides me choose the ten rides each day. Provably 5 each per day

[TTD03]

^ I gotcha Turbo.

[TTD03]

I'm not sure what it is... But I sense it is something big.... I can feel it getting closer and closer by the minute.... What could it be?...... I am sensing it now.... It's almost here.... It's.........

THE COASTER APOCALYPSE 2015!

Crashing onto CoasterCrazy.com on January 19th, 2015!

Rules and details will be edited into the first post of this topic soon.... Will you participate??????

Woo! Let's do this!

[TTD03]

[Dirk_Ermen]

Brilliant game idea. Let's see. I'm going for a Japanese run on this:
1. Bandit - Yomiuriland
2. Gao - Mitsui Greenland
3. Highway Coaster - Japan Monkey Park

One more question though. What if you come across a Random Rollercoaster with less than 4 images? Are you destroying that one too or are you skipping to the next coaster that would qualify?

[Blase Rhine]

Going with these 3:

1. Verbolten (BGW)
2. Intimidator 305 (KD)
3. Maverick (CP)

Let's see how this goes

1. Iron Dragon (cedar Point)
2. Ravine Flyer II (Waldameer Park)
3. Quantum Leap (Sochi Park)
