Hello RCTspace! It is time for yet another trivia game! The rules are

• After a person guesses the correct answer, that person must give clues about the next ride (ex. It resembles a windmill, etc.)
• Drop Towers don't count (including the Intamin 1st gen freefall)
• Coasters and water flumes don't count
• Ditto with transport rides
• Only model names are allowed, not the names some parks give their rides (ex. Zodiac is the name Thorpe park gave to a HUSS Enterprise)
• Images are welcome, but refrain from using them in a question.
• Feel free to include the manufacture's name (ex. "Manufactured by HUSS")
• Feel free to include kiddie rides.

Example:


What flat ride resembles a large hoop, is frequently mistaken for a roller coaster, and manufactured by Larson?

this is a real question, so feel free to answer!

This ride made by the firm Kaspar Klaus of Bavaria, was made from a converted World War II German artillery gun. On top of the rotating base was a central vertical axis with twelve articulated arms. What was the name Kaspar Klaus gave the ride? Bonus points if you know the name given this ride in its most famous American location.

Wow - and THIS was an easy one...

Astro Jets? Best guess...

Bingo! You got the bonus points for knowing the name given this ride in its most famous American location. Which means you know the ride in question. The ride name Kaspar Klaus gave the ride was “Super Roto-Jet”. Walt bought it because it increased riding capacity over the popular Dumbo - by 50%.

Question over to you...

Alright, what ride was:

• Known for being known as one of the most intense fairground rides
• Was manufactured by chance
• Is often compared to the zipper
• resembles a pair of umbrellas on a turntable
• has just three known units operating worldwide

I must have picked a hard one...

The Chance Turbo? Apparently the ride makes you feel like the little metal ball inside a can of spray paint!
