Yeah, I'm constantly reminding myself, lol.

Almost! 5 minutes, gotta get in...
(cough wiki time cough)

I almost forgot completely about it, Literally. Thanks for reminding us.

Me too, i'm going to do it later when it's not so crowded tho. does anyone know exactly when it ends?

- Ace

I must get in!!! I have 9500 something out of 30000 for quest kiosk, ppl please do not enter room before you see me in line. LOL.

EDIT: OH no vmk bug, every time I enter room vmk restarts at log in screen! How will I ever get in without crashing!

Ends around 11:30PM EST.
But of course, goes on for this entire weekend.
Good luck getting in, everyone!

Searching and nothing comes up

EDIT: There she is!

Yup, they usually open late.
EDIT: @_@ While posting that, the room decides to open.

I'm about 150 in the queue, moving somewhat fast. Seems like there's only one room..@_@
EDIT x2: Nevermind about that one room thing. I just saw the first room at the time. I'm in line for the C start.

EDIT x3: No. I click VMKPass, and I crash. How nice.

I am 166, hope that when I get in it won't crash!

EDIT: Yes, always late, keep searching HOST.

Rawr. My friend told me to search Green Ride, because there's rooms with barely a queue. And I click on one of them, and crash, once again. @_@ I almost never crash..why today?

Woot, I got my 1000 credits! :)

He has more rooms up now.

I got pics for Ride E.

Seriously serious. And I am probably gonna miss my spot in pirates like always!

bad mistake on host part.

Well, this is pointless. It's causing a lot of lag. I've been through twice now and hit major lag both times.

They should just have dumped 1,000 credits into each of our accounts and been done with it.

But where's the fun in that?

Didn't yavn say there was supposed to be some items for saleduring the ride-a-thon?
I looked and didn't see any in Emporuim (because that's where most new stuff goes) and Ned's (because its greenish).

Im 48th In line on the Green Ride-A-Thon C Start. It's moving as we speak.

now 38th

Didn't I read some thing about a 'dark ride'??? Was that hopeful thinking??

Cool! that was nice of them for giving us 1000 credits :)

I can't even get on VMK, sheesh.

Ugh.

Any pictures?

You've got a good point.

At least there's plenty of rooms for us to get in once. @_@ Everyone's crashed, and there's always going to be lag.
Anyone remember the Haunted Maze a long long time ago? That was like, one entrance room. They're slowly improving. At least they're giving us credits anyways.

ok.. We have our 1000 and now what? :)

Now we get 1,000 credits for each of our...er...other characters.

Anybody else think the rooms looked really good. Now 1000 credits richer :)

yeah! they are cool :) extremely green :) lol

its so much fun!!:easterchild: :easterchild: :easterchild: :easterchild: :easterchild: :easterchild: :easterchild:

Enjoy! :)

Yeah, the rooms are nice.

When I saw that the event was only going to last 3 hours today I thought only one or maybe two of our family would be able to participate. It was a really nice surprise to find lots of rooms and we were all able to go through. Thank you Host_Sparky!!

Yes, the secret to getting an event to run smoothly is to give away a prize that's nothing special and to allow people to win it only once each.

see if it was 1,000 for riding the ride each day, and an additional 3,000 each day for taking part in the event, having 12,000 in the end would be nice.

Hey, the previous ride-a-thons gave us a (non-credit) prize each time we rode. I stayed on all weekend.

This current event is just pointless. I mean, ok, 1,000 credits is nice, but that's the best they could do?

Wow, Neoteny, I never thought you would complain about credits! ;) Anyways, once you're done getting credits for tonight, now you can multiply it out to see how much credits you'll be getting total this weekend (i.e. counting all your mules). I did mine and it's an insane amount (39,000 for those who must know), but I'm sure my total can be beat!! And before everyone gets on my back for having so many mules, I play them all - they aren't just there for the bonus stuff I can get.

If only you could combine your balances. 39,000 is a nice amount of credits. 13 accounts with 3,000 credits each is less useful.

great math. LOL its pointless to have mules with credits because you cant but much

P.S> I just saw 300 OMG

any pics? i can't get on :(

Ok, explain this:

What's up with all those people wasting their time in those two queues, when the other rooms have no wait?

Because those people don't know how to search for the word HOST_ and probably think those are the only two rooms open.

P.S. HOST_Phinny said she is leaving the ride-a-thon rooms open till closing!

I, for one, am grateful for the credits. Well done, VMK Team!

It's a nice break from Host games, it's easy to complete, and I don't have to waste all day and all night trying to get as many prizes as I can. Once again, the VMK Team does something for us when they weren't required to. Thanks!

What time does it End..?

what is dissapointing though is that you only get 1000 credits once.. I could have earned serious credits lol

imagine if you could get 1,000 credits EVERY rime you rode it :)

My thoughts exactly.... But at least we have some credits to fall back on if we get a little low.... ;)

I was Number 134 But i got threw in a zip =]]

OMG, that is too funny. People not thinking, not looking further for sure.

Even if I had mistakenly entered one of the first two, I would have realized, exited, and went in another. (unless they were busy playing mini-games while they were waiting or were doing something else during the wait, but then you risk missing your entry).

where is it? Its not coming up on the guest room list

The ride-a-thon doesn't start till 11:30 AM EDT or 8:30 AM PDT.

Some Pics I Took! .. Well More Like Two

host have been in those rooms this morning

I didn't see them up this morning. Hmm..

~Elly

I hope the staff members are there to keep people from getting off the ride. Last night I saw a multitude of people getting off the ride and telling people to "get on the ride," "move along," and worst of all "I am the helper tonight, ride the ride or you will be ban." Of course, I reported that particular person, but I really think (especially since there are no Host games today) that the Hosts should stay in the rooms all day. They could take turns, sure. Just as long as there aren't people getting off the ride and holding up the line. ;)

Phinny told me last night when I asked her about helping that they are not looking for help for this event.

Phinny told me last night when I asked her about helping that they are not looking for help for this event.
It's a pretty straightforward event. I don't see what kind of help they could possibly need. Where they need help is in planning their next event. It's too late for this one.

Why is it last night they could open several rooms but today so far only 2?

There are currently at least six routes open.

This keeps changing. Probably because nobody is in some of them, so it empties out until a host re-enters to open it.

There's still that one room with the 100-person queue. I guess there are a lot of people who just don't know what they're doing.

So, you can only win 1000 credits? :s

Yeah, but wait for the surprise coming next week!
Flying Carpet Magic? :rolleyes:

I'm glad I waited till now no line no waiting.

The line is so short & quick. I just got in. :D There's a prize.. :D

:blbunny: Daizy

If you got 1000 credits yesterday,you can't get a 1000 AGAIN the second time on that day.You get 1000 credits each day,and i don't know what day it will end.I heard the advice by HOST_Phinny in the Green Ride-A-Thon A End and if you knew this already,please ignore this post.I post this because i think some people didn't know this.





From,laymick :blbunny:

:( i missed the first day :( well i just got to get 1,000 credits myself

Flying Carpet Magic? :rolleyes:

That's what I thought too

That's what I thought too
At this point, it actually would be a surprise!

Has It Even Started Today Yet?

Never mind then, I think VMK's down, I keep getting the BSOD.

VMK is up, but I am getting terrible lag.
Normally I would say something like, "Welcome to Sunday," but lately this has been happening every day of the week.

I was just thinking, April 1st is AFD (April Fools Day). Would they play a prank on us? Sorry, that was a COMPLETE off-topic...ness. Anyway...

Maybe a new hat is going to be released for the month of april? A joker hat or something. Or, it could be some new furniture. Or a room?

Off-topic: How about that last mask hat for AFD?

On-topic: I'm getting the BSOD - anyone else or am i just the "special" one? ;)

Hey guys is there a different prize for the room with the really long line or do poeple just not understand they need to search for the rom title?

They just don't search for empty rooms.... :rolleyes:
