Take The Coaster Challenge

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Ilovthevu' on July 31st, 2004, 10:10 am
MAIN Topic
If you were offered a big prize, which SFGAm coaster would you ride over and over again to get it? However, while answering you have to remember that you would have to eat ever so often (of course), and this might increase your chances of losing your cookies. So, when picking, I would pick a coaster that you can take over and over again.

Considering that I only puked once on a ride, (Too embarrassing to say which one.) I think I could take D Vu over and over again.

SUB Topic
Has there ever been a coaster challenge at SFGAm? If so, which ride, how long did they stay on, and what was the prize? If not, why don't they?

They have more impotant things to do than host some stupid publicity stunt (Mr. Six, lol. They probably won that in a 'SF top revenue park lottery', or at least I think so).
If they did host something like this it would probably be on something like Raging Bull or S:UF (no way in hell they'd have it on Vu). Also they would probably have 4324123412 entries and pick 30 out of a raffle spinner thing.

I would pick Raging Bull.....and as far as I know, there was never an official contest or anything like that, but back, maybe, 4-6 years ago or somthing, my friends took a coaster challenge...but it was a challenge to ride every coaster in the park(which was a pretty big deal since we were all around 11 years old)...and I think sheets were provided to them by the park....i dont really remember, but it sounds like somthing that every park would do to get ride counts up and for guests to ensure a fun day...

I would choose Iron Wolf. I would desreve the prize if I won. I also don't know how many people would be able to beat me.

Yeah you might need surgery after riding IW so many times. I would say RB because it's so smooth, La-Z-Boy-esque and just not too forceless. You can really just sit back and enjoy that ride with the godawful trims.

It would have to be Raging Bull, With this ride so smooth it would be the best and most enjoyable coaster to ride in some type of marathon

I think i would do V2 just because it's so boring in my opinion. it's fun but there's really nothing special about it.

I don't know how on earth someone could fall asleep on Dvu or say that V2 is uninteresting. I don't know how long a body could take being blasted at 70 mph in each direction. That many rides on that coaster would start to hurt 'the boys'.

I'd pick Raging Bull. I never get sick on rides after eating food but still that wouldn't stop me. :twisted:

They could never hold a contest of anything like this on Deja Vu, it would break down so much that it would defeat the purpose of running the contest. The contestants would be able to take too long of breaks, and those that can't handle it, could regain strength to continue. They should do it on Raging Bull.

If they can't handle it, they would probably be puking their guts out. I don't believe that is permitted, and not too many people would continue no matter how long of rest.

Now here's the twist to the plot: The riders are eliminated after barfing. The winner is crowned the coaster king or queen.
You see I like the cubs and the white sox. If it came down to the world series I'd pick the cubs.

And I'd definitely still take RB. I don't get sick on coasters anyways, it wouldn't matter.

The only way I see this ever happening is if a local radio station were to sponsor it, or something along the lines of charity, as Sf seems to be very open minded about charity events.
