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?

Yes we are destroying it. It would take too much time to look at each coaster.

Remember everyone, there is a new rule this year.

In addition to the required 4 pictures on RCDB. The coaster you pick must be at least 50 feet high. The drop doesn't have to be at least 50 feet, only the height of the coaster.

This is to avoid Caterpillar coasters being picked.

If you have a coaster that does not qualify, please create a NEW post with your revised coaster list, do not edit your old post.

Thanks!

Dragon Khan @ PortAventura
El Diablo @ PortAventura
Shambhala @ PortAventura

Huh, TIL Furius Baco isn't even 50 feet tall.

Hey guys, I just changed the rules a tad. The height requirement has been replaced. The goal for it was to reduce the amount of butterfly's and caterpillars that show up. the new rule is the following:

"Any ride with more than 15 clones will not be accepted."

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, don't forget to tell others about the contest! Let's get a healthy batch of contestants joined this year

That would mean all the Boomerangs and SLC's would drop off as well.

[Turbo]

damn. I'll make an exception for those for this reason: most of them are in known parks where as butterfly's and caterpillars are generally in their own 10x10m park. they hardly come up on rcdb and would be generally unfair. man I thought I was being smart

that would also exclude a lot of Pinfari rides as well, how about just stating no butterfly's (that hurts to spell), dragon wagons or caterpillars.

[Turbo]

that sounds good

[Dirk_Ermen]

Or maybe something like: No Kiddy/Junior Coasters? I think that excludes also a lot of smaller crap~

Okay, Heres my new list:
Corkscrew: Canobie lake park.
Wicked Cyclone: Six Flags New England (If it does not qualify then Batman SFNE)
Dragon Challenge/Dueling Dragons: Universal Studios Florida.

Good luck everyone in the apocolypse

There are quite a few junior coasters I feel would still qualify, I think he was more talking about those carnival, powered wagons or Jeepers creepers (just rcdb it) coasters.

Also that's a good point MCcrolly brought up. Wicked Cyclone is in an interesting state, it's technically not SBNO or under construction since it's down during standard operating times and not a new coaster... More like extreme off season refurbishment... Would that and TC be allowed?

Loophole game is strong.

The rules don't actually stipulate anything about the ride being operational.

If the rule is that they need to be operational I would guess we'll go by Coasterdraft rules in that RCDB has final say unless you have solid proof of otherwise (in this case WC and TC are both Under Construction). Have to see how Turbo / TTD respond!

[TTD03]

Wicked Cyclone is fine since it comes up in RCDB.

SBNO is fine, defunct is not.

[Turbo]

Defunct does not work, the ride must still exist and have the ability to function. SBNO works
