AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 04:41 PM also the orange it let us ride with our original cloths
mrmyth 06-23-2007, 04:41 PM Is it only one color being given out today?
TravisSch 06-23-2007, 04:42 PM Change that, Hula, Phinny, and Lily made a ride together. Nice! :)
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 04:42 PM I was in Orange, and the last room had more than 15 people. Check out this pic:
AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 04:42 PM yup it is 0 so far 90 in line
GatorGreen 06-23-2007, 04:48 PM Get in line for the longest line, grab a VMK Pass, get in line for the shortest line, then wait. Once you get your prize from the short line, the VMK Pass line should be very short.
thedogboy 06-23-2007, 04:48 PM I was in Orange, and the last room had more than 15 people. Check out this pic:
I was there :) anyways they sent this

I did that when it first opened, and I ended the first ride as soon as my pass said I could go to the other room. That was close timing.
Awesome, they sent you a message through your mail. Yea, I saw you, and a bunch of other friends. lol How did you actually get around to telling them about the problem? It was so laggy.
Grooveygrl 06-23-2007, 04:50 PM I was in Orange aswell and in the middle room there was a blockage with so much lag! anything i typed came up like 5 minutes later >_<. I got to the end room and there was another blockage but I got a prize and I ended up at the door. >_<
AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 04:52 PM i wAS IN A QUEUE for the end orange room
Mizz.V 06-23-2007, 04:54 PM The Typhoon Lagooon Ones look Kind of Funny because they look like you have a orange tail at the end of you lol
GoofyGeggy 06-23-2007, 04:54 PM I was in Orange, and the last room had more than 15 people. Check out this pic:
I like how Sparky is on the ride. lol
Well, at least the room limit was increased to let more people in...rather than lots and lots of people waiting in a line to get to the last room.
Well done, overall, VMK! Fun times and great new additions to the waterslides.
mrmyth 06-23-2007, 04:55 PM I've only had VMK crash 2 times in 3 rides so far!!
alphaspida 06-23-2007, 04:55 PM Let's just say I have a mule on right now along with my real avatar - double the power! hehe
thedogboy 06-23-2007, 04:56 PM I did that when it first opened, and I ended the first ride as soon as my pass said I could go to the other room. That was close timing.

i didn't tell them anything
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 04:58 PM i didn't tell them anything
So they randomly sent you a message?
thedogboy 06-23-2007, 04:58 PM So they randomly sent you a message?
I crashed and it was there
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 05:00 PM Oh... right now I'm in yellow. The rides all look the same, I assume. I wonder how they make an exact copy of each other? Did Hula make a room first, and then Sparky took a picture and copied the room?
alphaspida 06-23-2007, 05:01 PM Hula's rooms are different from sparky's rooms.
They must have a copy-thing that they use.
Speedway Master 06-23-2007, 05:04 PM You won't see any blue boxes in the rooms, because they load additional items before you get in. (Like how they would in the dark rides)
AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 05:05 PM Come to my room to hang out if u have a vmk pass. We can play stuff and chill out and wait. pic coming soon
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 05:06 PM I noticed that too...but it only happened to me the first time I entered one of those rooms.
thedogboy 06-23-2007, 05:07 PM i am in line for yellow and i have 4 starts
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 05:09 PM I am line for yellow too, at 114. What are you?
TravisSch 06-23-2007, 05:09 PM I noticed these things:
Hula, Lily, and Phinny made rides together. Sparky made his own rides. Interesting... :)
alphaspida 06-23-2007, 05:10 PM I am going to get as many as I can today! Non-Stop Ride-A-Thon!!!!
thedogboy 06-23-2007, 05:10 PM i crashed again
Orange - 157
White - 84
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 05:10 PM I noticed these things:
Hula, Lily, and Phinny made rides together. Sparky made his own rides. Interesting... :)
How did you know? Does it say they all own the room or something?
AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 05:13 PM heres the pic just look up AvastKrazy http://i56.****************/albums/g163/musicmixer123/stuff-1.jpg
TravisSch 06-23-2007, 05:16 PM How did you know? Does it say they all own the room or something?
No. HOST_Hula owns the start room of her ride, HOST_Lily owns the middle room of the same ride, and HOST_Phinny owns the end room. :)
AvastKrazy 06-23-2007, 05:26 PM 2 so far 50 in line
Baconbits 06-23-2007, 05:28 PM Is this open all day ? because i can't make it on until later tonight...
Destination 06-23-2007, 05:29 PM so you can keep going to the rooms and get more and more of the starts?
sunnyskye 06-23-2007, 05:45 PM Yes, it is unlimited.
Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 05:46 PM I am 208 in line :)
-- Update --
71 in line! Woot Woot!
-- Update Again! --
48 in line! Woot Woot!

Ok I got in and guess what.. I saw VMK_Zoo!

dizkneedude 06-23-2007, 06:11 PM I have figured out that if you get a VMK pass for one of Sparky's rooms, then you can wait in line and have enough time to ride twice in a room made my Hula. Three pieces for the price of one.
Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 06:14 PM I have figured out that if you get a VMK pass for one of Sparky's rooms, then you can wait in line and have enough time to ride twice in a room made my Hula. Three pieces for the price of one.
Thanks for the tip!
Jezibabe 06-23-2007, 06:19 PM Hmm.. I tried doing that. Pass for the longer queue and in-line for the shorter. At the end the pass was up before the queue :(
PrincessSofia 06-23-2007, 06:27 PM I'm # 17, 0 slides yet. :( I was sleeping. lolz
Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 06:28 PM hmm how many can I get in one day
sonic99979 06-23-2007, 06:42 PM I bet someone already got 50 and out of the whole day they will get 500 LOL
Cool i just check and i got 10!!!
Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 06:47 PM rofl I was in a room but didnt mean to lick the Exit sign 0_0

Thank you
I'm starting to get pics Spin. Don't worry. :)
Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 07:10 PM I keep going on the ride with the smallest line
TravisSch 06-23-2007, 08:48 PM I noticed Sparky had some of those ALR Mushrooms in his room that haven't been released yet. I wonder if we'll get those soon.

Disneyzoodude 06-23-2007, 08:57 PM Good Find TravisSch
sonic99979 06-23-2007, 11:32 PM here is a little hint... ALWAYS go in Red Blue Or Black so you can do whatever because it takes you straight in the room :D
black33 06-24-2007, 12:52 AM What??
Anyways.. how many have ppl gotten? I think i have 9..
PancakesWithSyrup 06-24-2007, 01:15 AM I have at least 30 or 40.. but I'm getting more every few minutes.
gabyta 06-24-2007, 01:17 AM Come on ppl! if you get stuck just use the map and get back in line!!!! Don't make others waist their time! :)
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 01:22 AM I got stuck 0_0
gabyta 06-24-2007, 01:26 AM I got stuck 0_0
and how did you solve that??
TLynn 06-24-2007, 01:50 AM I think some of the teleporters are backwards... I went from room two to room one after trying to step back on ride from doorway. Got stuck and then just used map to start over. Plus there was one room where I came in behind a dark room wall - that was weird.
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 01:55 AM and how did you solve that??
- sniff - left the room . I was almost to the end of the ride.
funibair 06-24-2007, 02:17 AM - sniff - left the room . I was almost to the end of the ride.
yeah i had to do that too :(
TravisSch 06-24-2007, 02:20 AM If you're stuck in the second room, there should be a set of ride starts at the door, just click them and you should be back on the ride. :)
lemonysnicket3 06-24-2007, 04:43 AM Start Red was blocked a few munites ago
grayman 06-24-2007, 06:20 AM I have a couple of quick observations here. First, I used the new start with some of my other slide pieces, and my raft switched back to the original kind instead of the Blizzard Beach raft once I moved onto the other slide parts. Does this mean that all of these pieces are new for each of the rides?
Second, is it just me, or are there up pieces (possibly down too, but I didn't see any) that are only 1 square long instead of 2? I think you can see it in a couple of the pictures people already posted in this thread (posts 1 & 18).
mrmyth 06-24-2007, 03:29 PM Slide-a-thon is up and running
New color start is the prize today.
gabyta 06-24-2007, 04:07 PM the lines are moving fast and aren't as long as they were yesterday!
TrueBlueHorse623 06-24-2007, 04:47 PM Yeah, but too many people got stuck in red. I ended up going back to the start while I was already in the middle. >_<
Destination 06-24-2007, 06:36 PM man i wish i could come on now lol i will be on later
BillyBobTheKid 06-24-2007, 06:58 PM Tip for people interested in getting alot of starts and avoiding a line:
1) Get to the busiest room line.
2) Get a VMK Pass.
3) Go to the shortest line.
When this happens, you go into the ride, and soon after you're done with the short lined slide, the pass will be ready! :D
PurpleMonkey 06-24-2007, 06:59 PM I hope this wasn't previously stated.
Try to get in lines for the rides that automatically get you on the ride. Like when you enter the room, you are put on the ride. The queue moves much faster.
I know the the Blue ride is like that, but I am unsure of other rooms.
TravisSch 06-24-2007, 07:08 PM The rooms that are owned by HOST_Hula (which are also the rides made by HOST_Lily and HOST_Phinny) have downhill tracks on the entrance of the room so you should automatically get on the ride. :)
SweetSammi 06-24-2007, 07:14 PM and i know of another way to get more. what you do is get in the line that has the longest wait time and then get a vmk pass and get in line for the shortest line so when you are done with the shortest line your vmk pass should almost be up so it is like you go on two times in a row :) hope it helps
lemonysnicket3 06-24-2007, 07:18 PM I think the lines are shorter because sunday is usually times where theres church and other random things...There's going to be no lines by 8:00 :D
bluecruiser 06-24-2007, 09:06 PM Rooms where you automatically enter the ride when you enter the start room:
Black
Blue
Green
Red
Rooms where you must click to get on the ride after you enter the start room:
Orange
Purple
White
Yellow
GoofyGeggy 06-24-2007, 10:07 PM I have a couple of quick observations here. First, I used the new start with some of my other slide pieces, and my raft switched back to the original kind instead of the Blizzard Beach raft once I moved onto the other slide parts. Does this mean that all of these pieces are new for each of the rides?

The first happenstance is a product of the original start piece. Take that out of the equation and everything will be fine.
The second thing happenstance you observe is what happens when you stack up/down slides right next to each other. It's just a bug of doing so.
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 11:06 PM I have noticed that there is only three people in some of the lines for the slide a thon! The biggest line is 34 at the moment... 0_0
Grooveygrl 06-24-2007, 11:08 PM Probably because everyone is sick of riding it so many times.
Centurey 06-24-2007, 11:09 PM I just got into a room with a: NO person queue!
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 11:09 PM Wow... bc eventually these might be rare! And I think that I am going to get alot of these,. I got an idea for and game room using the pieces :)
JustOh 06-24-2007, 11:13 PM They will be for sale after this...
ppockets 06-24-2007, 11:13 PM They will be buyable soon yavn said.. so some peopel would rather wait
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 11:16 PM Well, I still rather get them for free than have to pay for them.
JessCats 06-24-2007, 11:26 PM I have no use for these new slide starts. Thats why I am not riding and you can only sell them for 5 credits.
Disneyzoodude 06-24-2007, 11:49 PM But, Think about it, thy could become rare. And, you get them for FREE. What do you have to loose? But in a way I agree... But I might use them.
TravisSch 06-25-2007, 01:35 AM Wow! There's like no line anymore for these rooms. I guess everyone is mostly satisfied with the amount of waterslide starts they got. :)
gabyta 06-25-2007, 01:47 PM I don't know how much of them I've got but I wanted more.. I almost had no time to be online this weekend.. I hope these pieces don't cost 500 credits as the Alice stuff from the past ride a thon.
2 hours before closing time I saw some rooms with 0 ppl in it :)
AvastKrazy 06-25-2007, 01:51 PM I think i might have to trade everything i have to get almost get 90 Typhoon Lagoon Starts.
Scootz 06-26-2007, 02:11 AM I have 20 BB starts and only 7 TL- Forgot most of the day :(
