The one that says it is a space mountain ride is just someone trying to get a popular room.

His sig said to come in a try the ride pieces and now it has been changed to come in a wait.

Here is the Green room:

There's a machine thing that makes a cha-ching noise when you walk through it! I assume its taking your credits

Edit: No I don't think it took my credits.. Hmm

I have gone through the first room and now I am 49 to get into the next. So far it hasn't cost me a thing!

Really cool so far!

Wow! I managed successfully to work some switches and open a door! Whee!

(Ok, so far I'm a bit disappointed here.)

Looks like a two-seat couch piece and a front piece.

That's kind of what I was thinking about the couch. A front piece and then sections. Its cool anyway!

Can you get more than one per day?

Cindrbellas

It says try more rooms and get another prize each time but I did not get another ride piece!

Hey! You caught a picture of me, too. :)

And I tested with that fare-turnstile. It didn't charge me anything.

It says try more rooms and get another prize each time but I did not get another ride piece!

I've tried it in three different starts - only 1 peice so far. Sounds like there are some issues.

gabyta
11-03-2006, 05:04 PM
maybe you should try different rides for different prizes?

Neoteny

Yeah, I have only received one prize despite having ridden the ride a few times already. On the Slide-A-Thon I got a prize for each time I rode. What's up with that?

Cindrbellas
11-03-2006, 05:04 PM

Ditto! :( I hope they will fix this..since I thought they always gave more pieces the more you ride

greenhpper

Oh boy, you all can build some huge rides with that one piece. LOL. Hope it's fixed by the time I get home from work. ;)

Are the tracks at least tradeable?

Neoteny
11-03-2006, 05:12 PM
I hope they at least sell a start piece so I can use my one downhill track segment!

I guess I could always use a start piece from one of the other rides....

StitchMad
11-03-2006, 05:13 PM
We're working on the problem and hope to have it fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
About the " WE CAN ONLY GET ONE PIECE! " ^^^^^

We all just got boot from orange room.
This room is broken and is closed for repairs. Please try another room :)

I just checked they are tradeable yay!

I am wondering if that Turnstile is supposed to take your credits, and its not working. Aren't we supposed to have to pay for the event?

It's a nifty Space Mountain ride car couch, which will probably be available in segments, like the Everest ride couch from the Yeti Vision game.

No, it looks like the Space Mountain ride car. Monorails are enclosed.

Do we only get One piece of ride a day, I got on 10 times and only got one track

Cindrbellas
11-03-2006, 05:28 PM
Yup Yup! The rooms are done well and I love the new ride pieces!!

Neoteny, I meant to say..Oh wow it costs a lot to ride! ;)

WisePrncessSophie
11-03-2006, 05:30 PM
I'm in line for the second time, this time for the Yellow room. Let's see if I get a second piece or not...

UPDATE: Nope. I still didn't get a second piece. Others are saying the same thing in the Tomorrowland Hub, where we got dropped off. Maybe it'll get fixed in the next hour or so.

I just went on again and only got one piece, it seems to be one per day.

Schmoofy
11-03-2006, 05:33 PM
Awesome, maybe it's a new teleporter? And there has to be something done about only a piece per day, this isn't like the other ride-a-thons.

Also, anyone have a picture of just the new couch seperate?

Neoteny
11-03-2006, 05:34 PM
I think they're working on fixing the prize distribution. I'll take a break from riding and check back later.

By the way, those doors are annoying. If you don't get through on the first try, it knocks you off the track! Good thing we don't have to do that on the real ride at Disneyland!

oldgrumpy
11-03-2006, 05:36 PM
seems like the turnstiles have gone.

a clue as to the lack of prizes?

magicgirldude
11-03-2006, 05:36 PM
Someone mentioned that they messaged staff about only getting one piece and staff said they were working on it.

gabyta
11-03-2006, 05:36 PM
but.. do you think they will have that number of rooms opened all day just for one piece each? and the message at the end says: different prizes each time. I think is just a problem they will fix soon.

Acepowerboy
11-03-2006, 05:37 PM
Maybe they started early to get the bugs out?

Simply click it anytime before you get there (when the symbols match).
Stays open for you.

This ride is so complicated that Esmeralda has to give us tips on how to ride it! Have you seen her new messages in the Emporium?

I'm going back to the safety and comfort of my waterslide.

oldgrumpy
11-03-2006, 05:44 PM
has anyone done the ride, for the first time, since the turnstiles have been pulled?
I wonder if it gives them prizes.
This would explain a lot.

I've tried three different rides, with and without turnstiles. I've paid no credits, and received only one prize total.

I entered the gold start and saw hula riding, then I went into the ride and a 97 players line is what I got! :S

curlytwinkletoes
11-03-2006, 05:50 PM
I am glad they are not charging us anything then if we only get one piece. Second gold room is moving slow because ppl are blocking the door so we cant unluck it.

yes, they are supposed to charge us. This is what Yavn said:

"Why are we charging for the Ride-A-Thon? Well, we have a good reason and I know you're curious but you will have to wait until next week to find out more."

I guess this rides will be expensive and they are charging less for them now.

magicgirldude
11-03-2006, 05:54 PM
So if it was working, and if you don't have credits, you wouldn't be able to ride? That doesn't sound very cool.

gabyta

"Why are we charging for the Ride-A-Thon? Well, we have a good reason and I know you're curious but you will have to wait until next week to find out more."

Not only do I not see a "good reason" to charge a fee for the ride, I don't even see a "good ride."

I'm sure once they knock the bugs out things will be better.

Still not sure I like the idea of paying for it, though.

I think the door/pattern things are just annoying, lol. I'm going to have to get used to them.

1. Anyone confirm that they're taking credits? And if they are, how much?

2. Anyone confirm that you can get more then one prize from the same room?

If someone hasn't try the ride yet, please look how many credits do you have and then, after the ride, check them again. If the first time you ride you get a prize, maybe they charged us at least once.

Ducky Wucky
11-03-2006, 06:05 PM
In think that the "cha-ching" thing just counts how many people have entered your ride.

I checked my credits before, and I still have them.

For myself,
I was able to get through gold once and recieved a down space track.

Went through green and blue,
And did not receive anything.

No credits were taken on any of the ride throughs.

tried to go through gold again,
And got bumped out of the ride,
When it was time to enter the second room,
Due to a over full que line,
So did not even get to finish riding gold a second time.

Hope this information helps.

Even though it sounds like it's taking your credits, I think it's just counting how many people have entered the room. at least... I hope thats all it does. HAHAHA! I can see it now, it's like...

I can already see a big flaw with the closed doors that you must click on at the right moment. If somebody is going through the door, you cannot click on it. If somebody has been kicked off the track, they are (depending on the ride design) standing in front of and blocking the door. This results in a cascading pileup of people being kicked off the tracks, making it harder for people to click on the door, resulting in even more people being kicked off the tracks.

Having experienced them now, I can't imagine what good they would do and can only see the negative aspects of them. I imagine that one intended purpose of them is to make sure that people can't just auto-pilot through a ride. The doors force you to pay attention. The problem is that, even paying attention, they can ruin the ride.

Thank you! I was doing really well at fireworks back a couple of months ago. But then everyone needed credits so I have not been able to get to the 4th and 5th levels.

Once you click on the door I think you got 30 second to make it to the door before it closed again.

I may be missing something entirely, but I have yet to see where these doors add anything to the rides other than one problem after another. I guess nobody asked me, but I don't think they were the best choice for these ride-a-thon rooms. Other than the doors, there are some really neat new and exciting furniture and slide building pieces. Kind of a mixed reaction here I guess LOL :)

Although I personally love her, stay away from any of the rides which were done by HOST_Hula. They have that killer door in the second room which is very hard to get through. Those include the Gold and Cyan rooms.
