Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[dirkomatic]

@InspectorJon Just saying what?

 

[duncan.brown]

Just saying what?

I suspect he's saying "the pictures of rollercoasters posted so far are sufficiently iconic to qualify as skylines, but let's not go too far and make this thread 'name that rollercoaster.'"

Fair enough... My next won't be a coaster.

Yea, but don't forget the first line: " Ran into the idea for this game on another forum unrelated to brewing and it turned out to be a lot of fun. " I would say that it's all been fun so far, wouldn't you? Let's continue having fun!

Is that Vortex at Canada Wonderland in Vaughan Ontario?

Not in Canada.

This coaster no longer exists

At the bottom of this drop, one could see a more iconic yellow coaster, which still currently exists, although most people don't believe it's real.

I'll post another more telling shot of this coaster later today.

Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia?

@bruce_the_loon, that's it!

You're up next.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Moving back to cityscapes. Should be pretty easy.

Correctamundo. You're up D.B.Moody. There are now way too many people with DB as their initials in this thread.

So you noticed that too?

Here's one from 2013:

 

[pvpeacock]

Orlando, Florida, Universal Studios, Harry Potter land......just kidding.

 

[duncan.brown]

The Monoprix means that it's France... and that clock looks a lot like the Gros Horloge in Rouen, if I remember my childhood vacations correctly.

 

[D.B.Moody]

As one DB to another: You do, and you're up @duncan.brown.

 

[duncan.brown]

How about this?

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Somewhere in Scotland

 

[duncan.brown]

Not Scotland, but it is in the UK.

A small village in the north Yorkshire Dales

 

[duncan.brown]

Ok, here’s a clue: we’ve been here recently.

 

[dirkomatic]

Ugh... I found it, but not in a way which makes me feel like I could claim victory. Great clue!

 

[duncan.brown]

Another clue to kick this one along: This is where @InspectorJon was while @dirkomatic and I were riding the rollercoasters.

 

[InspectorJon]

The clue must be over my head. I have never been to the UK. I kind of wanted to say Downton Abbey. Looks like the estate house of one of the royals.

He's trying to tell you it's the same place as the UK roller coaster was. Come on, @InspectorJon.

 

[duncan.brown]

One last clue: there used to be a four-story snakes and ladders board (that was the premise of a kids TV show starring a spitting dog) just to the right of the picture:

 

[Konadog]

Harry Potter land at Staffordshire, England, UK ?

 

[duncan.brown]

I often joke that my school was Hogwarts, but without either girls or magic...

 

[Konadog]

Well, that's just sad.
