NEW!!! CP "Rare Entries" Contest

Some of the buzz about TTD seems to have died down (yeah, I’ve been lurking) so it seems an appropriate time to roll out the contests again to fill up some time until opening day.

For those of you who weren't here last year, anyone is eligible and welcome to enter. Entry is free, but limited to one per person. First prize will be 70% of all collected entry fees, second place will be 20% and third place is 10%. All rules are contained herein, so let's get started.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT POST ANSWERS HERE. INSTEAD, E-MAIL THEM TO ME AT duanecahill@comcast.net. You might want to read this entire post before answering the questions.

For each of the items below, your objective is to give an answer which is both correct and will be duplicated by as few other people as possible. The lowest score wins with a perfect score being 10 (1 per answer). Specific rules and regulations follow the 10 questions below.

1. Give the name of a building where a guest would watch a Live E! show.

2. Name any Cedar Point structure whose height is more than 125’.

3. Give an attraction whose name consists of exactly two words, each beginning with the same letter.

4. Beginning in 1970, give a year that Cedar Point built a new roller coaster (from scratch).

5. Name a location on the peninsula but outside the park gates where a member of the general public can purchase food.

6. Name a ride designed to give the guest some measure of control over the path of his movement.

7. Give a location on the peninsula where a guest (of legal age) may purchase beer.

8. Name any ride at Cedar Point upon which your vehicle is exited in a different location than the one in which it was entered.

9. Name any ride that is contained entirely surrounded by the circumference of the tracks of the CP&LE Railroad.

10. Name a shop within the park gates where a guest can purchase a t-shirt.

--------------------------------
If your answer to a question is correct, then your score is the number of people who gave that answer or an answer I consider equivalent. If wrong, or if you skip the question, you get a high score equal to the total number of entrants as a penalty. The scores on the different questions are ADDED to produce a final score.

As an example of the scoring, say I'd asked for a color on the American flag. 19 people say blue, 5 say red, 3 skip the question, 2 say pink, and one
answers white.

The 19 people who answered blue are correct and score 19 each for that question.

The 5 people who answered red are correct and score 5 each for that question.

The 3 people who skipped the question score 30 each for that question.

The 2 people who answered pink are wrong and also score 30 each for that
question.

The person who answered white is correct and scores 1, the best possible score, for that question.

As moderator, I will be the sole judge of what answers are correct, and whether two answers are to be considered the same.

For my convenience please do not quote this message when responding via e-mail.

Your message should preferably consist of just the 10 answers, numbered 1 to 10, along with any explanations required, and your GTTP screen name.

IMPORTANT - There are no "trick" questions. Questions are not intended to be hard to understand, and normally no clarifications will be given during the contest. Only the first answer you submit counts; no changes are allowed after submitting an entry, nor alternate answers within an entry. If you provide any explanatory remarks along with your answers, you are responsible for making it sufficiently clear that they are not part of the answers.

1-2 times per day, I will post an update of the number of entries. This game will end at 12:00 noon, Saturday, February 1.

what is the entry fee? it says that first prize wins 70% of the entry fee but i dont see where that is.

blasting off in 95 days...........


dont bother

I'm confused too (OK, it doesn't take much in my case - hehe)... first he states that "Entry is free" and then goes on to say the top 3 places split shares of the collected entry fees.

Can anyone clear it up for us??
Thanks!!!

Have you guys ever heard of a joke? It is for fun.
Ah, gotcha! Not being familiar with the contest and not seeing any other indication of it being a joke, I just figured he must of made a typo somewhere along the line.
Honest mistake.

Either way, sounds like a lot of fun... I'll see what I can come up with!!!
