[Burbs]

10 points to you my friend!

Can’t be giving away my tactics at this stage! I was not expecting to get it so quickly mind!

 

[Tim]

Just submitted my answers.

I think this might be the last week I can take part Todays the only chance I've had all week and my workload is about to increase dramatically.

But I've really enjoyed the Skyline Game. It's a good twist on the layout league and been a nice diversion in a very unusual closed season.

No problem Tim, thanks for playing! Feel free to play whenever you can!

And here we are again... At least one week I will hopefully be ready on time! The joys of life. Anyway, I'll keep is swift to put you all out of your misery, the ANSWERS for the round with minimal colour are;

Skyline 1 - The Voyage, is the tallest coaster at Holiday World.
Skyline 2 - Griffon was a sneaky return for Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Skyline 3 - White Lightning, the tallest coaster at Fun Spot... Orlando
Skyline 4 - The Ex Alton Mouse is now the tallest coaster at Idlewild
Skyline 5 - And the one and only STEEL EEL is the tallest coaster at Sea World - San Antonio

And with this, comes the results, including Rob's obscenely quick guess at the Random Skyline

1. @John - 35
= @Rob - 35
2. @ThisGuy - 30
3. @MattyH - 20
= @Poisson - 20
= @Tim - 20
4. @Brad97 - 10

Well done one and all. So, the same scoring applies again, first past the post gets some sneaky bonus points, however any wrong answers before midnight tonight and you'll be docked points.

So it's now week 8 and we are making a return to EUROPE, however the parks a looking a little different... Perhaps a little AULD if you will. For these 5 European parks are made up entirely of their respective defunct coasters. Yes, IZZZZ CLOSED. Good luck attempting to search RCDB for THIS!

Week 8 - DEFUNCT BARNES

Skyline No. 1


Skyline No. 2


Skyline No. 3


Skyline No. 4


Skyline No. 5


So there we go, a moments appreciation for the colour scheme in Skyline 4... Genuinely, not made up! So the form is HERE, your answers go IN IT! Good luck!

I'm taking it these refer to the last colour schemes before they were sold for £24634832463824236484 per foot in online shops/to other parks/melted down?

That is indeed correct!

Number 4 has me so confused, I thought the support colour was at the highest point? Or did you guys just decide it didn't look fabulous enough?

Colour of the rails and support of the highest piece of track, but if the support has multiple colours on that specific piece then that is also reflected. If that makes sense. We're not making it up as we go along, honest...

 

[Tim]

... Good luck attempting to search RCDB for THIS!

Dare I mention the idea of doing defunct rides is genius

God thanks Tim... That's too kind

 

[John]

I've managed to find #4, more by good luck than anything else. I still have more work to do on some of the others though, think I'm going to need to come up with a new strategy for one or two. This may yet turn out to be the same strategy I employed for Asian parks.

 

[MattyH]

Think I've got 4/5 and trying to track down my remaining one. My usual strategy is out the window

 

[Poisson]

I've got a good idea for 4 of them, the last one I need to get is dreadful

 

[Tim]

My technique so good it had to be redacted has given me 4 answers. I guess I'll have to make time this week and find the remaing one after all...

 

[Poisson]

That was horrendous, if I've got it right. If we head to Asia with this format I might just cry.

ETA because @MattyH can't use technology:

BEHOLD the new home of @Burbs and @Sir Queer Llama, the wonderful OOZE

 

[Brad97]

Think I've got them all. The 5th skyline was sneaky.

 

[John]

oh jeez, that water offends me so much. How is the water more disgusting than the main lake they've gone to the effort of separating it from..?

The shallow depth... Bring you much closer to the scum!

Easiest week yet?
