The Great Skyline Game (Final Results)

[Pleasure Beach Valhalla]

I was a bit off, I think my score reflects that..... Still are we including Russia in Asia or is that europe just to ask?

I made this same mistake, and then was too tired to go looking through all the parks with 2 coasters so didn't get Movieland!

I was so lucky with Movieland. Similar to you I thought it would take too long to search for a 2 ride park, but then I just found it by clicking the wrong link.

Good question. Let's go with this.

 

[Pleasure Beach Valhalla]

Thanks @Burbs though tbh i don't know my Russia geography that well

 

[Brad97]

I think I've got them all. Asia has far too many parks!

 

[MattyH]

2,455 according to RCDB.

 

[Burbs]

2,455 according to RCDB.

Well, that narrows it down from the 5145 total parks.

Decided to cut my losses this week and go for high scores on the ones I know rather than spend hours traveling through the hundreds of possible parks with 2 or 3 coasters

 

[Pleasure Beach Valhalla]

I knew the first one straight away and i managed to get 4 in total so maybe i might get the highest score i've ever got this so far! I dunno whether i'll be able to participate in the following years due to me having to revise for an upcoming exam!

Must be a very tough exam

Must be a very tough exam

Yh as we've had our exams cancelled this year we're only doing one that will count towards my end of year grade so for about 4-5 weeks i'll probably be off towers street but i'll be back!

Meanwhile some of us have no lives whatsoever...

It's the last day for you to get your answers in for this week's array of Asian amusements, for which you can find the form here! Less points are on offer this late in the week, but still plenty to be had.

Good luck!

Another week and another 9 lots of answers later means only one thing, it's time for some answers!

Skyline 1 - A delightful pallet of grey, it is the one and only Fuji Q Highland
Skyline 2 - One of many, but did you guess correctly, it was Happy Valley Beijing
Skyline 3 - Asia's a big place, it was Dubai's own, IMG Worlds of Adventure
Skyline 4 - Home to the no longer blue and yellow Vekoma Tilt, Gravity Max, it's Discovery World
Skyline 5 - Everybody's favourite OTT Pink water feature coaster, it was Yokohama Cosmoworld.

Well done to everybody who guessed, lets see how you did with this weeks scores;

1. @Brad97 - 30pts
= @Poisson - 30pts
= @ThisGuy - 30pts
2. @MattyH - 20pts
= @Rob - 20pts
= @Tim - 20pts
3. @Matt N - 18pts
4. @John - 15pts
5. @Pleasure Beach Valhalla - 8pts

Well done once again to you all... Now comes the interesting part. It's been a while since we introduced anything new, so firstly this week we are going to shake up the scoring slightly by adding 'Slow and Steady Wins the Race'. If you submit your answers before 11:59pm tonight and get something wrong, you will be docked three points!! So it really does pay to take your time slightly... Though you could of course miss out on this 1st Past the Post points. Oh we are so cruel, but it doesn't end there!

Would you believe it we've now been doing this for six weeks, thus for the first time we are giving you six skylines to play for and guess what... They all have SIX coasters each! 666 we are basically the devil in disguise, as to make it even harder, they're not even parks! They're manufacturers! Yes that's right we have taken six coasters from six coaster manufacturers and made them into a lovely skyline of the companies two tallest coasters from North America, Europe & Asia. As always, arranged tallest to smallest, left to right and of course... All according to well known reliable source RCDB.

So, welcome to;

Week SIX - six manufactures, six skylines of six coasters...

Skyline No. 1 (edit: this is now correct)


Skyline No. 2


Skyline No. 3


Skyline No. 4


Skyline No. 5


Skyline No. 6


And there we are, good luck to you all. A total of 42 points up for grabs this week, so use your time wisely! Answers on a form please!

Wait what?! I swear I looked at the Dubai parks before I got bored and gave up. Maybe it was just Abu Dhabi, oh well...

 

[Brad97]

IMG Worlds of Adventure was the only skyline I wasn't sure about last round, the scale felt off but it couldn't be anything else.

 

[Poisson]

What the Satan's bumhole is this??!!

 

[MattyH]

Well i suppose the good news is that there are only 363 companies listed on RCDB...

 

[John]

Yeah I think "companies" is easier than "all of Asia". I've managed to come up with a set of answers I'm fairly happy with, unlike last time!

 

[Burbs]

Well, this is awkward. It turns out we might have inverted the colours on Skyline 1 coaster 5 by accident, so here's an updated version!



We're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry.
