View Full Version : Holiday Ride-A-Thon (December 14-16)
prisoner 12-14-2007, 09:33 PM The calendar and the login page are suddenly talking about a ride-a-thon from 5-9pm today, and then most of the day tomorrow and Sunday. This wasn't there before, was it?
What is going on, VMK?
waffles 12-14-2007, 09:35 PM IDk, but i hope good prizes :D
GoofyGeggy 12-14-2007, 09:40 PM Yeah, I thought that was new...was afraid to post it for fear of being yelled at, though. ;)
Personally, I hope the prize is credits, and that we can get the prize every time we ride...but I know better. ;)
prisoner 12-14-2007, 09:45 PM Personally, I hope the prize is credits, and that we can get the prize every time we ride...but I know better. ;)
Of course you know better. You know that it will be "Moldy Rug 4x4" :xgrin:
I really have to wonder what they're thinking. A ride-a-thon announced (not even announced yet) at the last minute with just a couple of hours run on Friday? -sigh-
They had been doing so well on announcements this month... and then they trip over themselves.
waffles 12-14-2007, 09:48 PM who knows
maybe this trip will have a good prize ;)
Khaki_footed 12-14-2007, 09:49 PM well they had mentioned a surprise on the home page. the little teaser box for the newsletter. those times are pacific right?
lscott933 12-14-2007, 09:49 PM yea it is the last minute for this. i hope it some really nice stuff. i bet it is gingerbread stuff like chairs again.
Whipstersh 12-14-2007, 09:50 PM Perhaps it could have something to do with the information in this thread (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135233)? I'd say it is a pretty good bet ;)
mrmyth 12-14-2007, 09:53 PM Oh Priz give them a break - Maybe this is going just as they planned. A Christmas surprise tied in with traditional school vacation time (though no not for everyone).
People have been complaining not enough new items -WAMMO - more than most can afford all at once.
People say it's getting boring - SURPRISE - Ride A Thon.
Now if only they can make the staff events,(other than the pin trading ones), worth going to.
GoofyGeggy 12-14-2007, 10:01 PM Now if only they can make the staff events,(other than the pin trading ones), worth going to.
Makin' a list, checkin' it twice...
I'll be sure to add that <again> to my wish list. :)
Wondermanforever 12-14-2007, 10:27 PM i hope its the presents!
Destination 12-14-2007, 10:30 PM I wonder what you'll guys will get.. ;)
CuteTabitha 12-14-2007, 10:42 PM Is it going to be opened tonight..? But I can't get on, so could somebody (maybe) get one of the items that they will be giving? :)
I'd appreciate it :princess:
SillyBrightPuppy 12-14-2007, 10:47 PM wow again vmk. all this stuff

sunnyskye 12-14-2007, 10:47 PM I wonder what you'll guys will get.. ;)

GoofyGeggy 12-14-2007, 11:42 PM I would laugh hard if the prize was a Gingerbread Bench again...hehehe

It starts at 5 PST, which is 8 EST, which is in 15 minutes.
Wondermanforever 12-14-2007, 11:56 PM oops! calculated wrong! @_@ haha.
sunnyskye 12-14-2007, 11:59 PM Lol. Well, it starts in less than two minutes! My friend thought the Snow Carpet might be prize. Sounds like a good bet.
HOST_Sparky just opened up a room. I'm 2 in line!
Gingerbread block is prize. >_< Could have been worse! Oh wait, it is different from the buyable one!

staticbill 12-15-2007, 12:22 AM I also saw rthe room, and sadly no pic. But it is like the regular room, but there is holiday lights, and snow by the entrance. Very awesome!
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:25 AM Can someone please post a picture if they get into that room? Thanks!
Lady_B 12-15-2007, 12:26 AM Yep.
It's a Skull Rock room :(
As usual, I crashed in it.
But....

sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:28 AM Thanks very much for the picture. Wow, the color outside changes the whole room! Very impressive VMK! I guess we can start excepting new rooms every week, huh?
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:29 AM look at this :xgrin:
i wonder what the walls and blocks are!
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 12:29 AM here it is
http://xs322.******/xs322/07506/holidayskullroom.png
vJosh 12-15-2007, 12:30 AM 30414
I came across this room
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:31 AM Wonder, those walls remind me of the Peter Pan ones in the first room in the ride.
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:32 AM your right! and the blocks look like building bricks now that i look at it closely! NEW PAN ITEMS
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:34 AM Yes, I can see blue shaped bricks in a very dark red wall. Acepowerboy, what do you mean? Do you have a picture? (We are all picture-addicted :D)
Omg! Didn't someone post those pictures before?
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:36 AM Xioalin, dont forget pan walls and building bricks!
charstar 12-15-2007, 12:36 AM OMG , going to try that next time i go by, And the block is with and without icing just rotate it for no icing!
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:38 AM The blocks at the entrance! :D
and sorry, didnt see you had it on there
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:39 AM Oh my gosh, so many new items!

AlexKZ 12-15-2007, 12:42 AM Lets not get our hopes up! (Pause for a moment of silence in honor of the Royal Gazebos and Red Throne Chairs)
Your right, we should take some silence.......
Ok thats over!!!!!!!! I want those items. :xtongue:
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:42 AM Lets not get our hopes up! (Pause for a moment of silence in honor of the Royal Gazebos and Red Throne Chairs)
Well, I'm pretty sure we will at least get those presents. They come with a pop-up thing, why would they not release it?
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:46 AM This is great :) Seen two staff, and lots of new items! Yay
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 12:47 AM omg! those new presents have mickey and donald pop out of them! they are so cool!
http://xs222.******/xs222/07506/mickeydonald.png
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:49 AM I keep going in rooms not close to the presents! I want to see the pop up.
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 12:50 AM I keep going in rooms not close to the presents! I want to see the pop up.
i actually got off the ride and made them pop up and couldnt get back on so i wouldn't suggest it...unless you wouldnt mind standing back in line again
sorasmemory 12-15-2007, 12:51 AM lol im in that picture and im the one that made them pop up..
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:51 AM Which room did you get out of?
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 12:52 AM lol im in that picture and im the one that made them pop up..
lol...im the other guy in the pic...with the red hat :xgrin:
Which room did you get out of?
i dont remember...sorry i just keep clicking on them....it one with swamp trees (might be mansion green - but ive been in for sure green, blue, and red)
Pixie_Jess 12-15-2007, 12:54 AM click on the pop up mickey and donald and see what you get. Seriously, someone got a gift message box, but I need someone to confirm that.
^_^ Pixie_Jess XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 12:55 AM It would be a mansion Room. Probably blue
staticbill 12-15-2007, 12:59 AM Found out. If you click on the present with the gold top, mickey will pop out, and there will be a card from the owner! Very cool.
charstar 12-15-2007, 01:00 AM good thing i'm under the weather ( um well I do wish i felt better ) and I am staying home all this weekend..
Bad news... I'm not RL Christmas Shopping this weekend!
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 01:01 AM Found out. If you click on the present with the gold top, mickey will pop out, and there will be a card from the owner! Very cool.
yep...check a couple posts back to see a donald one :xgrin:
cooldad210 12-15-2007, 01:01 AM i think if we have the give a gift thing those presents will be the gifts
LuckyJazz 12-15-2007, 01:02 AM This is one of the best months VMK has ever hosted :D
Acepowerboy 12-15-2007, 01:03 AM Look at my post #53 I got a picture of the gift card
staticbill 12-15-2007, 01:06 AM Look at my post #53 I got a picture of the gift card
Ok, I didn't see that before. One I saw was from QA Berry and said Happy Holidays. VMK really is thinking good about these items. :)
sonic99979 12-15-2007, 01:10 AM Omg I GOTTA GET ONLINE!!! The gift card.... I want that mickey block but i can only get gingerbread block
Noelle 12-15-2007, 01:22 AM Are the blocks tradeable?
tikisrule 12-15-2007, 01:23 AM Are the blocks tradeable?yes they are tradeable
Acepowerboy 12-15-2007, 01:40 AM Ok I put all the gift card pictures in one, Lol I can't wait to see if they come out on sale.
Tokrok 12-15-2007, 01:49 AM how do you get the gift cards??
greenpixiegirl 12-15-2007, 01:54 AM How'd you get the message?? All I get is the top card that says abolutely nothing.... So there really is no point in clicking these things and getting kicked off the ride? We get absolutely nothing out of it, right?
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 01:58 AM vmk is just showing off the new item...these will probally be available later in the month to give to a friend. nothin special about them today other than to see how cool they are. :-)
RedRyan 12-15-2007, 02:02 AM What Ride is the Mickey and Donald in?
:xsmiley::xhuh::xshocked::xgrin::xembarassed::xcry ::xwink::xsad::xcool:x:undecided::xtongue::xrolley es::xcheesy::xmikec::xangry:
Tokrok 12-15-2007, 02:04 AM how do u get the message?
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 02:08 AM double click it...but you have to be standing next to it...in order to do that you have to find a way off the ride...if you get off you cant get back on. they are in most of the ride room - just in the new present boxes. they pop out when you double click them. i would just look at the pictures on here...because i couldnt get my prize at the end when i tried the box.
also my blocks don't have frosting on top when i put them in my room...has anyone else tried to place the in a room yet?
RedRyan 12-15-2007, 02:14 AM also my blocks don't have frosting on top when i put them in my room...has anyone else tried to place the in a room yet?
Turn it Twice.........

Green room is where I was able to get off the ride, but like everyone else had said before you can't get back on it
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 02:30 AM Turn it Twice.........
-OrangeRyan
Thank you!!! :xgrin:
RedRyan 12-15-2007, 03:02 AM Green room is where I was able to get off the ride, but like everyone else had said before you can't get back on it
Mansion, town, Blizzard, or House?
CooledCoyote 12-15-2007, 03:05 AM also my blocks don't have frosting on top when i put them in my room...has anyone else tried to place the in a room yet?
Try turning them, that will add or take off the frosting. Works like the Mickey Ghost smiling or frowning.
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 03:06 AM Mansion, town, Blizzard, or House?
mansion room
gabyta 12-15-2007, 03:56 AM oh no!!! I missed this event! I didn't know!! It wasn't there when I left :(

Pixie_Jess 12-15-2007, 05:50 AM Any speculation on tomorrows prize? Anyone? Bcause some of you actually end up being right, even if it's just one of you. You guys are good. lol
^_^ Pixie_Jess XOXOXXOXOXO
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 11:28 AM I hope its the lolipops! Or a different colored gum drop! yay!
sunnyskye 12-15-2007, 12:41 PM I have a question about those Mickey/Donald boxes. When you double click it, does everyone in the room see it, or only the person who double clicked it?
spacerightsummer 12-15-2007, 01:09 PM idk the boxes were good, but i really need something more flashy for my house to rock vmk you know. I hope todays prize is really something else. I hope for all who ride you get just what you want. have fun on todays ride-a-thon. :)
prisoner 12-15-2007, 01:46 PM Oh Priz give them a break - Maybe this is going just as they planned. A Christmas surprise tied in with traditional school vacation time (though no not for everyone).
I just don't get them. Usually they announce surprises well ahead of time.
And I was giving them a break! I said they'd been doing well on the announcements this month. Just that this week they started slacking. Then followed by this bizzare event.
Don't get me wrong - surprises are nice. But announcing a surprise after some people log off VMK for the day can be taken badly. (We've already seen one person upset about this.)
To their credit - at least the reward was a nice one. Shame there was no way to get nearly enough for what I'd like to do with them, but oh well. Perhaps they'll be on sale for a nice ammount or there is a mini-game they'll appear in.
Now if only they can make the staff events,(other than the pin trading ones), worth going to.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The best thing they can do for staff events is to eliminate them completely. There are plenty of other ways they can get us those items - turn the playes loose and just see what we can do!
(And to their credit again, they may do just that. Lets see how this contest goes.)
Khaki_footed 12-15-2007, 01:59 PM I may not be on when the ride-a-thon occurs today. if possible could someone pick me up just one of the prizes? i'd really appreciate it.
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 02:03 PM 0_0 few accounts there. is that like for or five lol
actually it was just two...i can't get more than two up on a computer...since the pass wasnt working well...i figured why not.
oogabooha 12-15-2007, 02:40 PM how do you get the mickey and donald boxes?
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 02:47 PM you can't yet. They are unreleased
TravisSch 12-15-2007, 02:59 PM Ride-a-thon is open. I'm in Gingerbread House Red. :)
Prizes are:
Flat Mint Block Red
Gingerbread Block
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 02:59 PM flat mint block red is prize :-)
AceGoalkeeper 12-15-2007, 03:03 PM Yeah, the flat mint block red is what I got too.
- Ace
cooldad210 12-15-2007, 03:04 PM all the prizes are good so far
AlexKZ 12-15-2007, 03:05 PM I like how they are giving last nights prize also along with the flat mint. :)
:icecube: AlexKZ
the_phoenix 12-15-2007, 03:06 PM Oddly, the picture in my inventory of the blocks show them WITH frosting, but when I put them down they're bald! Is this happening to anyone?
AceGoalkeeper 12-15-2007, 03:07 PM I like how they are giving last nights prize also along with the flat mint. :)
:icecube: AlexKZ
Me too, especially since I only got like 3 or 4 of those blocks last night. I didn't know about the ride a thon for a while.
- Ace
Whipstersh 12-15-2007, 03:08 PM Prizes are:
Flat Mint Block Red
Gingerbread Block
Do you get both of these when you ride for today?
EDIT: Looks like they do. Just what I needed also :D
the_phoenix 12-15-2007, 03:08 PM I've tried everything, but it seems it might be allergic to frosting! (that was meant as a joke :D)
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 03:08 PM we still get the gingerbread block...but im just excited about the red mint! i think they are prettier than the green
AceGoalkeeper 12-15-2007, 03:20 PM I've tried everything, but it seems it might be allergic to frosting! (that was meant as a joke :D)
Turn it 2 or 3 times. It should show up. I think the first 2 rotates have no frosting and the second 2 rotates do.
- Ace
JeanPierre 12-15-2007, 03:20 PM I notice that u get a differnet message depending on the room. Does this mean some rooms give you the block and the red mint and other only the red mint? :xmikec: Hmm...
Wondermanforever 12-15-2007, 03:22 PM All the rooms i have been in give the same prize
waffles 12-15-2007, 03:29 PM i just seen fin:D
AceGoalkeeper 12-15-2007, 03:30 PM i just seen fin:D
I saw her yesterday hanging in one of the rooms, I think I was the first to recognize her.
- Ace
Whipstersh 12-15-2007, 03:31 PM I notice that u get a differnet message depending on the room. Does this mean some rooms give you the block and the red mint and other only the red mint? :xmikec: Hmm...
The message says a Flat Mint Red and a Gingerbread Block if I am not mistaken.
the_phoenix 12-15-2007, 03:33 PM Just saw Fin helping/booting two girls who got out.
JeanPierre 12-15-2007, 03:36 PM All the rooms i have been in give the same prize
They give you two-2-two prizes at the same time. Very cool VMK! :xgrin:
AwesomeTom 12-15-2007, 03:45 PM I must say... that is an interesting move by VMK. To release two items at once. I am very happy they are doing this on a personal note because I was not home yesterday to even enjoy the opening of the ride-a-thon. Thanks VMK. Nice twist on a VMK classic event :xwink:
Sapphire Starglimmer 12-15-2007, 03:47 PM Anyone else not advancing from the first room to the next? I am stuck in a line in the first room and was wondering if this is a VMK problem or just a problem for the particular ride I'm on.
Whipstersh 12-15-2007, 03:49 PM After a lot of lag, we hit a traffic jam in one of the rooms today... I think I will play pirates for a little while, lol.

well technically they released the block yesterday so its only one new release today ;) :xmikec:
gabyta 12-15-2007, 03:50 PM I love today's prizes! It's great that we are able to get yesterday's prize too!
JeanPierre 12-15-2007, 03:52 PM Both my people are stuck in line in too different rooms. Ppl are getting stuck in the teleporters. Water and everest teleporters. Does this mean a VMK shut down is right around the corner?! :xshocked: LOL
jonjoshguest 12-15-2007, 03:53 PM What are the prizes?
Noelle 12-15-2007, 03:54 PM Anyone else not advancing from the first room to the next? I am stuck in a line in the first room and was wondering if this is a VMK problem or just a problem for the particular ride I'm on.
I am stuck too. One is stuck in the line that does not seem to be moving. The other is stuck in Shrunken Ned's. I can't go to another room and I can't get on the ride.
jedibunny 12-15-2007, 03:55 PM What are the prizes?
just look...
at least 20 ppl have already said it >_<
:xmikec::xmikec::xmikec:
Acepowerboy 12-15-2007, 03:57 PM I was just wondering why the line is not moving, ty for posting the info. I thought I was DC.
prisoner 12-15-2007, 03:57 PM On chat, we're talking about how everyone seems stuck at the teleporter.

gabyta 12-15-2007, 03:58 PM the lines aren't moving anymore :(
JeanPierre 12-15-2007, 04:10 PM :xmikec: Phinny just booted me because I was first stuck in teleporter! She owes me 1 red flat mint and 1 Gingerbread block. Others in the room said it was wrong of her to boot me! Now I can't access the room list. :xmikec:

The VMK Pass system is currently messed up/broken. I don't use it and just stay in the queue.
Bonda 12-15-2007, 04:15 PM Arrrg!They closed all the rides down and I haven't even got my first two prizes yet. -_-

Acepowerboy 12-15-2007, 04:35 PM i see two rooms open now, Lol. Hey it was nice yesterday a little bug in the system today is not bad. They will fix it soon. At least the prize is worst waiting for.
TravisSch 12-15-2007, 04:36 PM I'm logging off for a while. I'll come back when the rides are fixed later.
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 04:38 PM three rooms are open and all the queues are over 500
greenpixiegirl 12-15-2007, 04:38 PM I thought there were three rooms open again.... Maybe they had to close one again LOL! I need lots of mints, so I'm riding no matter what. ;)
Bonda 12-15-2007, 04:39 PM Good thing the lines are moving a little fast. :)

wdmountie 12-15-2007, 05:03 PM yeah the passes are not working right....you dont actually freeze though...the queue is still working in the background so if you dont mind staring at the snow for awhile you will get in.

StitchMad 12-15-2007, 05:16 PM I got off the ride, and clicked the present. It rocks!! :)
http://xs222.******/xs222/07506/donald.png
[09:55] <StitchMad> I think you will be able to buy it, there will be the option to write a message on it.
[09:56] <StitchMad> Then you can trade that gift to your friends, and THAT is the actual gift, with a message when doubled clicked, saying who it is from.
EDIT:
Just got off the ride again, haha. Check this out, I opened them both this time! The gifts close again after a minute or so.
http://xs222.******/xs222/07506/2donald.png
gabyta 12-15-2007, 05:18 PM I love the idea Stitch! I hope they let us buy them to give to our friends :)
Acepowerboy 12-15-2007, 05:22 PM Yeah this is Donald
SavvysFriend 12-15-2007, 05:23 PM the freezing is so annoying.
callumw987 12-15-2007, 05:24 PM notice at the bottom of the donald letter it has a donald pin what about the mickey letter we could see a not yet realsed pin
cooldad210 12-15-2007, 05:28 PM when i rode past the present donald poped up
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 05:28 PM nine rooms now open - just waiting for the mansion rooms to open now

How did you get to stand around in the room like that? Is the room yours or did VMK release the Donald Duck Present item?
Mooshu 12-15-2007, 05:51 PM That's cool, with the gift text donald thing =)
Unfortunately, my VMK pass won't work
And i don't wanna wait, so these thanks for the heads up
on things, everyone!
gabyta 12-15-2007, 05:53 PM that means that ppl will be able to see what we wrote to our friends? :) not just the one who receives the gift
Extras 12-15-2007, 06:00 PM I would laugh hard if the prize was a Gingerbread Bench again...hehehe
I would hope it is sometime, because I couldn't get one last year.
gabyta 12-15-2007, 06:10 PM do you think we'll have other ride a thon next week? we had one on Christmas eve, remember?
Captain_Heather 12-15-2007, 06:27 PM All I have to say is, I hope they release a Pluto item like that Donald! That would be SO SO Cute!!!
:pluto:
JeanPierre 12-15-2007, 06:47 PM do you think we'll have other ride a thon next week? we had one on Christmas eve, remember?
I seriously doubt it. I have a feeling this is our last ride-a-thon of the month and the year. :xcheesy:
AllAboutStitch 12-15-2007, 06:50 PM what was yesterday's prize and what's with the gift thingy?

sunday_monkey 12-15-2007, 07:46 PM yes the red line is slow and i hate the vmk pass. it only seem to work when you first log in. after the first time it stop working.
Yep, except that I've noticed that if the rooms drops you off in the pool, I don't have a problem using the pass again. Weird!
callumw987 12-15-2007, 07:47 PM every time after the first time u tr to get a vmk pass it comes up really funny like the background of the pass doesnt come up , the buttons dont come up and lots of other strange things
gabyta 12-15-2007, 07:51 PM every time after the first time u tr to get a vmk pass it comes up really funny like the background of the pass doesnt come up , the buttons dont come up and lots of other strange things

Captain_Heather 12-15-2007, 10:22 PM The Red Blizzard Beach is taking forever!!
Probably so many issues because people know a gingerbread comp is coming up, so they are stocking up.
wdmountie 12-15-2007, 10:22 PM alot of them are stuck...i think the red blizzard beach is one of the ones
Captain_Heather 12-15-2007, 10:29 PM "Sorry all rides are closing for a few minutes. Useyour time to pay in the snow or have a snack;) I would like some hot chocolate!"
Pay in the snow, eh?

wdmountie 12-16-2007, 04:21 AM they have kept these ride along events open the past couple times...hopefully they will keep doing that.
Wondermanforever 12-16-2007, 01:38 PM I hope it does NOT include any kind of mint. I find i dont have much uses for those as i would the lolipops or gumdrops :]

sunnyskye 12-16-2007, 05:40 PM I saw HOST_Phinny and VMK_Sunny in the same room. HOST_Phinny was riding and VMK_Sunny was standing at the door. Saw HOST_Phinny another time.
TravisSch 12-16-2007, 06:03 PM I just saw HOST_Phinny a little bit ago in one of the Blizzard Beach start rooms. I said hi to her and she said "hi :)" back, as she usually does. :xsmiley: HOST_Phinny must be on "ride duty" right now.
groovysqirrel 12-16-2007, 06:09 PM I just saw HOST_Phinny a little bit ago in one of the Blizzard Beach start rooms. I said hi to her and she said "hi :)" back, as she usually does. :xsmiley: HOST_Phinny must be on "ride duty" right now.
Speaking of ride duty, I asked HOST_Phinny about that yesterday in Club 33. Lily hd to leave because it was her turn, so I asked her about that. She said that yes, they take turns throughout the day to ride, and watch the rides. :)
Back on topic, I'm happy they're still giving out the blocks! :)
Wondermanforever 12-16-2007, 06:12 PM I got to talk to lily 5 times yesterday while she was on duty :)
