Cedar Point "Rare Entries" Results

Here are the results for the Cedar Point "Rare Entries" Contest.

The winner was CrystalKat with a score of 28. Second was Shivering Tim with 33, and third was Mantomatic with 34.

All answers don't add up to 50 due to the fact that some people skipped some questions.

1. Give the name of any roller coaster operating in the 2001 season at Cedar Point (remember, you want your answer duplicated by as FEW people as possible - strategize as you wish)

Jr. Gemini - 8
Mean Streak - 7
Wildcat - 6
Millennium Force - 5
Mantis - 4
Iron Dragon - 4
Corkscrew - 4
Gemini - 3
CC Mine Ride - 3
Disaster Transport - 2
Blue Streak - 2
Woodstock Express - 2

Here's a great example of "overthinking" the questions and strategy. Not one person said "Magnum".

2. Name any Cedar Point ride in which the rider travels primarily in a circular path.

Troika - 5
Schwabinchen - 4
Peanuts 500 - 4

INCORRECT - Thunder Canyon (2)
INCORRECT - Jr. Gemini (2)
INCORRECT - Paddlewheel Excursions (2)
INCORRECT - Mean Streak (1)
INCORRECT - CP & LE RR (1)
INCORRECT - Space Spiral (1)

I guess for this question, I just had to decide where to draw the line between a "circular path" and a "complete circuit".

3. Give the location of any restroom within the park gates.

Comfort Station (Frontier Town) - 6
Behind Bayou/Hofbrau Refreshments - 4
Across from DT/Space Spiral - 4

Inside Silver Dollar Cafe - 1
To the right of the main entrance - 1
Outside Red Garter Saloon - 1

Man, I knew I was in trouble when the first "inside a restaurant" answer came in. I could have raised the scores by being more specific, but great thinking on your part!

4. Name any attraction along the Frontier Trail.

Glassblowing Amphitheatre - 10
Fort Sandusky - 5
Petting Farm - 5
Thunder Canyon - 4

INCORRECT - CP & LE RR (2) Remember, no trick questions.
INCORRECT - Last Chance Saloon
INCORRECT - White Water Landing
INCORRECT - Swan Boats
INCORRECT - Mean Streak
INCORRECT - Log Cabins

Much to choose from on the Trail, even with Millennium Force in place. I decided to rule against "Log Cabins" as a whole, because each of them is a separate attraction.

5. Give any Cedar Point advertising slogan used by the park since 1970.

Hold On - 11

(What's Life if you don't) Get to the Point - 6

How Much Can You Stand? - 1
INCORRECT - Our Theme is Rides (1)
INCORRECT - It's Funtastic (1)
INCORRECT - Reaching New Heights in Fun (1)
INCORRECT - More for You (1)

"Reaching New Heights..." is a valid slogan, but was used before 1970.

Midway Market - 1
Employee Cafeteria - 1
INCORRECT - Coasters (1)

I had to think long and hard on the Employee Cafeteria, but since Midway Market is listed on the CP website as full service and the Cafeteria is pretty much the same animal, it's allowed.

10. Name any ride that operated at Cedar Point anytime during or after the 1970 season that is no longer at Cedar Point.

Frontier Lift - 6
Sky Slide - 5
Tiki Twirl - 4
Pirate Ride - 4

Here are the individual scores. My apologies that they don't line up properly. To the best of my knowledge, I can't format them into a courier font on this website.

Each name is followed by the contestants score to each question (in order). The final number is the total score.

Thanks everyone for playing!

{12th place, not bad}

Are we going to play again, or will there be a new game?

I'm happy, 15th out of 50!
It was fun, give us another game!

4th isn't that bad! I'm suprised I got that! Great game, I didn't even think of most of the answers people submitted.

Ikaika

That was fun.. I liked that alot better than the Survivor thing.. My only problem is do you count the Employee Cafe because it's not accedd by the public.. Because if you do.. I can think of half a dozen bathrooms right off hand that the public doesn't have any access too..

MF 2000 - 269 laps
MF 2001 - 103 laps as of (7/19/01)
June 11th, 2001 - Gemini 100

Call it a lesson learned for me. If I do another one of these games, I'll be sure to be very specific.

This was excellent fun.....really added to the site....I think anything not privy to the public is unfair, but I wont complain - I was in it for the fun....

I think Space Spiral should be a valid answer. Yes, primarily a circular path is debatable but several other rides on the list have other motions as well - Sky Fighters for instance.

No, I didn't choose Space Spiral.

Great game even if my strategy didn't quite worked out :)

Darn, Now that I think about it, Space Spiral travels up and down too. I forgot about that minor detail. Should have put more thought into the Soak City one. Attractions you have to pay extra for wouldn't count, that makes since. Great idea Duane!

I was surprise Space Spiral wasn't counted...I was going to use to too...:)

Wow! Some great answers that I never thought of, and never would I have begun to guess I'd do so well! Took me about 5 minutes of staring at the computer screen before I remembered how to read again. :) Great game! How about the next incarnation being the opposite (get the most points on the same scale, but an incorrect score would equal 0)? You're a lifesaver, Duane!

I didn't see my answer listed for the bathroom (Not that I'm complaining, wouldn't add too many points. :) Maybe it's listed up there another way than what I was thinking. Mine was back by the "Chuck Wagon" and "Jitney Arcade." (36 and 37 on the park map respectively) Still, fun game. Wish my "CP & LE railroad would have counted. I wasn't thinking trick question, I was thinking "Its ALONG the trail, you just don't get on or off on the trail." :)

The park restroom between the Chuck Wagon and the Jitney Arcade is called the Comfort Station. Six points!

"It's funtastic" was a slogan... I'm just not sure if it's since 1970...

And just for clarification, yes I answered "Slides" it is listed on Cedar Point's website as an attraction at SC... But I guess nobody agrees with me :(

Just out of curiosity, Duane: I was thinking of putting "Avalanche Run" as a ride that is no longer at Cedar Point - while the coaster has not changed, technically it is a different ride and if you ask where to find AR a lot of employees wouldn't even know, since they wouldn't remember it (not all!). How would you have scored that one?

-------------

Avalanche Run would have counted as a ride that is no longer at CP.

Incidentally, while I have the next game written already, I won't post it until at least next week, and maybe the week after.

I think once every two weeks or so might be a good timeline for a new game so nobody (especially me) burns out on them.

Duane, thanks for the clarification! I was going off my map here in my cubicle. I've never actually been to that restroom....I knew hanging my park map on my cube wall would come in handy some day.... :)

GREAT GAME... We had fun my only problem was letting "them" choose Krazy Kars as a Kiddy lan attraction.
