View Full Version : VMK Everest Ride-a-Thon: Who's going?

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.

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.

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.

i will probably go on the rides for the snow rugs nothing else really

i'm pretty sure the lines cannot exceed fifty anymore, so it will probably be worth a shot

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

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

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.

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!

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?

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

dangerman
02-17-2006, 08:20 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. >:(

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!!!

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.

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.
