Welcome to the first ever Holiday Blitz Contest here at SSCoasters. This is a brand new contest that for the first time ever, does not require you to build anything.
It is a scavenger hunt that will test your know of K'Nex roller coasters and your use of the SSCoasters Rides Database.
How will it work? I will post a series of riddles that refer to a ride or some part of a ride. It is your task to determine the name of the ride and post a thread with the answer in the Round forum. Other users will not be able to see your threads. Be sure to just name your thread with your username and entry. For example, I would put "BGTKing's Entry"
The user who gets the most questions correct at the end of the competition will receive a tag and possibly something else. You do not have to answer or get every riddle right to win. Also, sharing of answers is not permitted and any indication that a member is doing so will result in their disqualification from the contest.
I am not sure how many total riddles there will be, but it will be at least 15. The contest will end after New Year's Day, 2010.
Only K'Nex roller coasters will be used in the contest.
An example riddle would be: "What out for this fiery blast."
Which would refer to my Lava Launch coaster.
You are allowed to change your answers up to the point that the answer is announced.

We can see every other persons guess though. I am not doing this simply because I can cheat if I wanted too. It's still going to be fun for the rest of you. Enjoy!...

I'll just be watching, though, and won't participate myself.

Only one guess, but you can change your guess up to the point the round ends, which will not be announced.

There will still be more clues. Been too busy since coming back from vacation to add more. Look for more tonight/tomorrow.
