View Full Version : VMK Everest Ride-a-Thon: Who's going?
Alexander 02-16-2006, 10:29 AM Friday starting at 1 and ending at 6 PM PST is a seemingly simple event. You just ride a train and at the end, you get a straight train track. Apparently, you can ride as many times as you want as many straight train tracks.
So who is going? I probably will check it out when it opens in my time zone, albeit there will probably be a line and I'll get disconnected. But, hey, it's worth a shot.
fonna 02-16-2006, 10:36 AM If you are talking about the VMK ride event, there are couple of threads here stating that that the ride prize is snow rugs as well.
prisoner 02-16-2006, 12:00 PM I'll probably try - depends how reasonable the lines are.
Looks like there is a different priz### each day. Friday has the tracks, Saturday the snow rug, Sunday the ice.
JackeryB 02-16-2006, 02:56 PM i will probably go on the rides for the snow rugs nothing else really
futuremartymcfly 02-16-2006, 03:09 PM i'm pretty sure the lines cannot exceed fifty anymore, so it will probably be worth a shot
lilbabykat 02-16-2006, 06:43 PM i will it will be fin and you get prizes anyone know what the prizes are yet?
hauntedguy 02-16-2006, 06:52 PM So far alyuel only told me Snow Rugs, Also Priz where did you hear tracks, ice, snow rugs?
Jolber 02-16-2006, 06:54 PM i think on main site of vmk, it says something about it
PirateTod 02-16-2006, 06:56 PM im going to only go for the snow rug and ice block days
i dont need straight peices
prisoner 02-16-2006, 06:59 PM So far alyuel only told me Snow Rugs, Also Priz where did you hear tracks, ice, snow rugs?
On the event calendar.
I will be sure to try though I am not sure because I have school tommorrow until three of course my back is terrible so I might just be able to score all of them.. Depending on the lines.. I use to HATE lines 50+ Now that they limited them hopefully they make more events at the same time so not everyone is on THAT one main area
bluedudeman 02-16-2006, 09:43 PM wow im going ti ride a lot for snow rugs and ice cube chairs but i wonder will ice cube chairs come back for pirates and fireworks? it says for the whole month
123goffoym123 02-16-2006, 11:27 PM i dont get it how many time you play you get a prize?
Zebraa 02-16-2006, 11:33 PM There shouldn't be much of a line, as the line will be moving because of people going on the ride and into the teleporters
Cadbury of Redwall 02-16-2006, 11:47 PM There shouldn't be much of a line, as the line will be moving because of people going on the ride and into the teleporters
good point..I wonder why they are giving out prizes to people who ride it?
xKawaii 02-17-2006, 12:47 AM I'll probably try - depends how reasonable the lines are.
Looks like there is a different priz### each day. Friday has the tracks, Saturday the snow rug, Sunday the ice.
Hmm, I didn't know about the prize distribution days.
I'll most likely give it a shot, if the evil disconnection isn't after me as much O__o. Or the queue lines as well.
Alexander 02-17-2006, 01:34 AM i dont get it how many time you play you get a prize?
From my impression given the event description, you get a prize every time you ride. That means you can get multiple snow rugs, track pieces, and ice blocks on one account. No need to break out the mules!
amountaingirl 02-17-2006, 01:58 AM But how will I know which room to go to, to ride the ride? Aren't there several rooms named Expedition Everest or something similar? Anyone?
timmyastro 02-17-2006, 02:00 AM is it just friday or the whole week?
Softball_atTheDisco 02-17-2006, 02:04 AM If u ride any everest track u get a prize?
technogirl 02-17-2006, 02:04 AM I probably am. Considering that it gives stuff away, and we get to see other people's hard work.
Exoxus 02-17-2006, 05:15 PM I can't find it. Which staff has the entrance?
NOTE: 15 minutes past, still nothing.
matterhornmaniac 02-17-2006, 05:22 PM it opens at 1pm pacific or 3pm eastern. its not open yet
Exoxus 02-17-2006, 05:23 PM O_o It's 1:30 here.

smilezlie 02-17-2006, 08:19 PM i did the green one, now im trying blue.
i wish they would take the 50 person max off the room right now. the lines move so fast but its difficult to even get in line!
ok, thats not nice. i try and get into the 2nd room of the blue ride and it spit me out saying it was too full!
i see some major glitches with this event. :(
Schmoofy 02-17-2006, 08:19 PM This ride is showing new things in VMK. Just for entering the last staff room while on the ride, you get a message from staff saying you got an everest piece. I like this!
PirateTod 02-17-2006, 08:20 PM Wow Fast!!!!!!
dangerman 02-17-2006, 08:20 PM I did every single one. Except when I did Caffdawgs, the line to the next room was 15 and it wasn't moving! (The room after the entrance room)
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:21 PM how much do you get for selling straight i would look but i am stuck in line
FantasyBlueBoy 02-17-2006, 08:22 PM 40 credits i did that.
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:23 PM ty fantasyblueboy is that your name is vmk jw you dont have to answer if so then i know you
CaptHookFan 02-17-2006, 08:23 PM its fast really fast, but the max in the rooms is hard to get in lol but i love the fast line!
PirateTod 02-17-2006, 08:24 PM I did every single one. Except when I did Caffdawgs, the line to the next room was 15 and it wasn't moving! (The room after the entrance room)
thats because ppl get sent to the door and wont leave
Bilbo 02-17-2006, 08:24 PM I'm in the yellow one, I think alyuel's. I wanted to do cauffdawgs but it was too long!
dangerman 02-17-2006, 08:24 PM Yeah it annoyed me so I cancelled(sp?) the wait :D
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:26 PM lol i am just waiting nothing else to do, i almost want to start it and play a different game while it goes and then reset to begining
Bilbo 02-17-2006, 08:27 PM Who's is the red one's?
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:27 PM where did they get the animal room

FantasyBlueBoy 02-17-2006, 08:29 PM Wait.. Do you get a straight for every 1? Or just once?
smilezlie 02-17-2006, 08:30 PM now im in line for the red room. is the only thing u get from the mazes today straight ride pieces? cuz from the 2 rooms i did so far thats what i got.
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:33 PM Wait.. Do you get a straight for every 1? Or just once?everytime you do it
JackeryB 02-17-2006, 08:33 PM i think the line limit is pretty pointless in these rooms
DizCaptain 02-17-2006, 08:34 PM well the line is steady I like it that way!
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:35 PM i always am 49th in line
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:36 PM wow we are talking a lot
JackeryB 02-17-2006, 08:36 PM There is caffdawg's room >.< I thought she retired.. lol
she is just a normal player now
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:38 PM its kind of weird to work for it then change over to be just playing
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:44 PM were did everyone go
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:45 PM now gold is open

Tjmix 02-17-2006, 08:50 PM i keep doing it i bet i did them all three times today
smilezlie 02-17-2006, 08:55 PM i got stuck behind the door in the 2nd part of the gold maze. lets just hope it works this time. if not i give up!
Shadow Knuckles 02-17-2006, 08:56 PM aww same track part :( well that stinks so im guessing tommrow is a differnt ride part and such?I only have red lefted since I did green,yellow,gold,and blue.
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 09:03 PM i heard its snow carpet or what ever you call that stuff and sunday is ice cube chairs
dangerman 02-17-2006, 09:04 PM Yes tomorrow IS snow carpet.
I also have a question, can you do each maze more than once because it isn't letting me on the mazes anymore >.<
Shadow Knuckles 02-17-2006, 09:07 PM Oh tommrow is snow carpet!?Yes!!!I wanted one of those for a while thanks for the info!And more icecube chairs=YAY!^_^ Looks like im going to have alot of stuff.
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 09:08 PM closed for enchancentments(sp), NO!

prisoner 02-17-2006, 10:04 PM Well, tried for 5 minutes to get into any of the rooms. No joy so far. Oh well.
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 10:13 PM i got into everyone
MoonDawg 02-17-2006, 10:16 PM how do we know that tomorow is snow carpet?
Tjmix 02-17-2006, 10:24 PM idk i heard it in a forum
dangerman 02-17-2006, 10:26 PM how do we know that tomorow is snow carpet?
Check the event calendar LOL -.-' It will say :)
Exoxus 02-17-2006, 10:32 PM I found this by far their best event. The lines were a snap and the ride rooms great. I even say SillySyl in her Priates Outfit! :D I especially loved caffdawgs last room. [I thought he left..?] http://img210.**************/img210/6373/16id1.jpg (http://**************) (See the Caff in ice?)
I saw a very empty SillySyl Red one and went in. Slipped by the teleporter and sat in one of the new Everest chairs. I only sat there because my computer was slowing alot and there was only one mickey. Then Babs came in and booted me. O_O Never sit in staff's chairs. They don't like it. Even though Babs has been known to boot without much reason. Watch out! Don't take a break on a ride, when Babs in on the watch!
Arg.. I came back, when my boot was lifted, and found Babs and 2 people in the chairs, where I was booted chatting! Ugh, she just hates me. >:(
coolgogogirl 02-17-2006, 11:59 PM I really like this event too, the lines seem long, but go super quickly and dc isn't a very big problem!
-coolgogogirl
dangerman 02-18-2006, 12:00 AM Yup, and did you notice that the end of caffdawgs room spells caff? lol
mickeymouse2818 02-18-2006, 12:11 AM i think that this is by far the BEST event vmk has had EVER. the lines are quick, hardly any dc and you recieve your prize immediately after completion. not only that but i think they have really learned from the other events that you need multiple rooms for events like these. CONGRATS TO VMK FOR A WONDERFUL EVENT!!!
carlyiscoolio 02-18-2006, 01:20 AM Yup, and did you notice that the end of caffdawgs room spells caff? lol
LOL! I did!
Tjmix 02-18-2006, 02:30 AM i hope there is snow carpets tomorrow
Garfieldo 02-18-2006, 10:27 AM Yup, and did you notice that the end of caffdawgs room spells caff? lol
.... I wonder why I didn't notice that. LOL
xvintage 02-18-2006, 02:12 PM Yes, i went on it yestrday, Lines are usually no more that 15 people, and it moves very quickly. I got in in 1 minute! fastest VMK event line ever lol
and, the ride only lasts a few minutes, and you get a prize! Yesterday it was the straight track, today it will be the snow rug, tommrow its gonna be ice. Sounds like a good deal to me! Have fun everyone! =)
Tjmix 02-18-2006, 04:53 PM snow carpet today i cant wait
WafflePrincess 02-18-2006, 05:23 PM yay! a lu lu lu
dangerman 02-18-2006, 05:55 PM Hmm wondering..How come the everest ride didnt open today? Or is it just me? lol
Edit: Ah woops i thought the trading thing was the ride. Sorry all :D
Alexander 02-18-2006, 06:23 PM I hope since this is peak hour for VMK that all of the ride rooms are open. Yesterday, they didn't open enough rooms until about several hours after the four rooms that were open had maxed out the queue. At least that was my experiance.
PinkCoolAngelGirl 02-18-2006, 06:28 PM i know yesterday when ppl opened the rooms that work there were too many ppl in the line to get in it stunk
Somtimers 02-18-2006, 06:30 PM I bet i was silly and did not read the home page for vmk and did not realize you get a prize for just riding the ride. i started riding with twenty minutes left till the ride closed lol. Do we know what todays prize is? I know yesterdays was strait track.

Tjmix 02-19-2006, 12:14 AM idk i think thirtys but idk
xKawaii 02-19-2006, 12:46 AM Surprisingly, no crashing =]. The lines seemed to be moving quite well, prizes distributed on time, and there weren't 5 zillion rooms in one Ride-A-Thon; only 3. So everything's going pretty smoothly.
Did anyone notice that they took the Yeti Straight pieces out of the Emporium? Heh.
