The entire list of scores can be found at http://www.tdsffl.com/CPScoring.htm
To review your (and everyone else's answers) http://www.tdsffl.com/CP0103Answers.htm
Before I get into the scoring, I think it's worth announcing that common sense is my guideline when scoring these. As the rules state, there are no trick questions. Everything was very straight-forward. That means that if a question asked specifically for a year, only qualifying years were accepted as correct answers. When an attraction was asked for, current attractions were acceptable, past ones weren't. Common sense.
The most interesting ruling that I had concerned mis-named attractions. I decided to score them thusly: If the name was of paramount importance to the question (as in question #3), the correct name had to be used. "Bumper Boats" (actual name "Sir Bumpalot's Boats) was unacceptable in that case, but not for the question about a ride where you had control over. "Lusty Lil's" (now Palace Theatre) was unacceptable for question #3, but not for where you could purchase a beer.
More answers may be forthcoming as the debates rage, but that's all I could think of for now.

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

5 from the top, on the official site - "Bumper Boats"
If the CP site says it, I just don't see how you can debate that. Just an issue I wanted to point out...I think its a great contest, but maybe fairness in this case was violated.

At any rate, I hereby promise that the next one is guaranteed to not have any of these sort of mistakes (of course that may have as much to do with the format as it does my researching capabilities)
