next years eastershow i challenge everyone to a ride a thon on the most sickening dizzy ride ever. id say it would be the zipper, but yous can choose. whoever gets sick first losess.

im a bit hesitant just incase whilst riding someone loses, if yous know what i mean..

but i think other than that it'd be fun! whos in?

Yeh maybe, just have to save alot of pennies Lol, I'll think about it.

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:24 pm

haha, yeah. im pretty confident i could win!

i think my weakness, surprisingly, is chaos. really felt ill after my last 2 rides on it.. sometimes, and only sometimes, after 3-4 goes on speed non stop get me a bit ehh. but ive never ever in my whole 13 years of life felt too ill to jump back on another ride!

LOL Paulie. I'll give everything a go once so I suppose I'd be in to that crazy idea.

I reckon the most sickening rides are the Breakdance, Scorpion, the Claw and Gravitron. I don't think I'd last too long on those with a full stomach I'm sorry to say! I guess Zipper, Speed and NL would be a challenge too.

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:42 pm

yeah i agreed about Gravitron.

others, not so much.

Hey,not fair Paulie.You teenagers can handle multiple rides in a row with little effect.Some of the more,ahem,'senior' AAF members (which includes me) probably wont be able to go the distance.

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:57 pm

haha, well the 'elders' can have a 3 minute brake between rides! sound fairer?

Matt Diabolism · Post by **Matt Diabolism** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:02 pm

.

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:12 pm

yeah thats me alright. hahahaha.

there should be a prize for the winner...

ok, what about. whoever wins, ill shout for them, for speed or no limits (15 dollars prize pretty much) but idunno if the winner would even wanna go on no limits or speed after the comp!

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:14 pm

Haha, yeh maybe we can give you guys an advantage. Yep Paulie, your on! Lol

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:18 pm

I remember Triple M here in Sydney ran a comp about ten years ago at Wonderland where contestants had to ride the wooden roller coaster 24 hours a day. The two eventual winners were on that thing for close to ten weeks! The riders had to sleep in the stationary cars overnight every night, had ten minute breaks for showers, food etc and listeners thought up dreadful food and drink combinations to get the riders throwing up. Sometimes the coaster would be started up at early hours like 2:00 in the morning while the riders were asleep; what a strange awakening that would be! The comp was run by Andrew Denton and Amanda Keller who hosted the breakfast show at that time. Unfortunately I missed out on being one of the contestants; I might not've won but I would've given it a go.

i also heard of a competetion like this but on the demon. they had to stay on it 24 hours a day, sleeping in the carridges. haha, would have been great.

Sounds stupid to me... Plus not even I would spend that money... even if it was Rainbow... but oh well, if you want to be a spaz, go for it

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:05 pm

Mate, we didn't say you had to be involved and its a bit of fun. Paulie, I don't really have a weak ride Lol

Yeah... the good ol Whirl Till Ya Hurl Competion... There was never a contest like that on the Demon Paulie. So you would be mistaking that for the contest ben mentioned.

"On Tuesday, April 6 1999 after 40 days of riding 14 hours a day the final two contestants in the Whirl Til You Hurl coaster riding marathon at Wonderland amusement park decided to get off the ride at the same time.

Steve Fletcher and Rosa Vacarro began riding the Bush Beast roller coaster on February 26 along with 22 fellow contestants. The two managed to endure forty, 14-hour days on the largest wooden roller coaster in the Southern Hemisphere.

In addition to riding all day, contestants were required to sleep in their seats at night. During the competition eleven walked off, and ten others were disqualified for breaking rules or health reasons.

The two winners will split the $20,000 prize, collecting a little over $6,300 each after taxes. The two contestants took 6,806 laps on the coaster and their winnings compute out to about 93 cents per lap."

lol, i think huss is just afraid that he wouldnt be able to last very long. oh well, a few rides on claw should dizzy you up! hah.

yeah it must have been the the bush beast i was thinking about. still, would have loved to been in the competition.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 6:09 pm

Well, I've never been on a Gravitron except for Dreamworld's which I was fine on, never been on the claw either. So I'll have to test my luck

HUSSRAINBOW · Post by **HUSSRAINBOW** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 7:10 pm

handle it? .... pfft whatever... plus id rather spend my time doing this "competition" on a ride bit more credible than claw

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:40 pm

I couldn't ride the Claw more than once... not because it makes me sick its because of the damn harnesses! They just kill my shoulders

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:12 pm

oh topgun, you have to go on claw. i think its awesome. not thats sickening thought. yeah the gravitron at the eastershow, i think is worse than the rotor. it doesnt make you stick as hard but theres something about just spinning, and spinning that gets me.

Paulie123 · Post by **Paulie123** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:30 pm

wait wait, better idea!!

instead of waiting till the eastershow.. how about a competion in the christmas holidays!! hopefully speed will be there and we can ride that all day for 50. whatta bargain! cheaper, awesome and dont have to wait AS long.

whatta yous think??
