It seems that there is going to be a special surprise prize during the Host Ride Encore on Sunday. I thought I'd post what I found here to give everyone a heads up.

I found these in game pics on another forum that someone took while riding through toward the end of the ride event tonight:

The Event End "Pop Up" message also ended with this statement...
Please be sure to ride again tomorrow. You never know, we just might find another surprise for you "Winks" Hugs from Harm and Fin.

It seems there may be more surprises up their sleeve! Wow and wow! Hope to get to see everyone riding tomorrow - Hugs and Night.

Wow! Thank you for giving us the heads up, Princess!!

I was actually thinking of skipping Sunday's encore since I got up so early to do this Saturday's encore (one of life's luxuries to me is sleeping in late on the weekends!

). So much for that plan!

Ooooohhh! Thanks for the heads up Princess! What oh What could the surprise be?!?

Purpleduck · « **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:40 AM »

The surprise is that I happened to pick that queue first!

The surprise is in the green queue, and is a cute little frog pond, the frog even moves around in the pond

So far I also know that the purple queue is left turns

Anyone else know other colors prizes yet?

Orange has host prize too. I decide to ride all the rides rofl.

In game message:
"Welcome to the final day for our Spring Madness Encore Ride. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have. Today, depending on the room you choose, you could receive a straight piece, left turn, left-T Section,right turn, right T-Sectoin or a special HOST Exclusive Spring Surprise From VFK and your HOSTS. Enjoy the ride!!"

Pink has right T piece
Blue has straight
Orange has host pond

Purpleduck · « **Reply #6 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:09 AM »

I just took the red , and it gave a straight.

So that means that we don't get a shot at the right turns, nor one of the t-pieces (they have left and right)

Thanks for your help Belle and Dream:

Blue - straight
Red - straight
Orange - Host (is this the frog pond as well?)
Green - frog pond
Purple - left turn
Pink - t piece (not sure if left or right)

Thanks for heads up....We overslept this morning so going to church later tonight.

Sweet, froggie ponds!

Purpleduck · « **Reply #8 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:41 AM »

I just road that icky thing they call a color

, and got a straight piece, not a T piece like Dream got.

Makes me wonder if the colors (except the two for host), aren't just being random?

DreamTulip · « **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:49 AM »

Sorry, it was a right T piece I received and the orange prize was indeed a host pond. Hmm, maybe they are random as the in game message did state "depending on the room you choose, you could receive a straight piece, left turn, left-T Section,right turn, right T-Sectoin or a special HOST Exclusive Spring Surprise" which is 6 prizes but some people have received the host prize on both purple and orange rooms which leaves less than 6. Confused?

I am! The T pieces are also for sale in Merlin's for 500 each.
Well, good luck everyone in getting what you need.

funfly · « **Reply #10 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:53 AM »

hmmm interesting. Think I'll stick with orange and green and see what happens.

First ride I was on Red - got a straight piece

Orange and Green - both gave me Frog Pond (afraid to try purple lol)

yes I mostly got straight pieces in pink room with the odd t piece weird. Though it save credits lol

Last night I had loading screen stuck during host ride - saw the first room, was trying to enter 2nd room to win prize. Since it never loaded I had sent message through Help button. Later that night they did give me the prize.

So if it happens to you (like it just did to me again today) send message to them. (I didn't hear back yet today for today's stuck loading screen)

Oh rats!!

I didn't get a chance to log on til just now and I'm 411 in the Orange line. Unless they extend this thing past 3:00, looks like no pond for me.

As long as you are in line before it closes you should still be able to get in when your turn arrives. This is how it was yesterday.

An edit already lol, this was just an in game message:
"Our Spring Madness Encore Ride Event will end at the top of the hour. We are taking the Host Start Rooms off the HOST room list. If you are still in queue, the rides will stay open until the last person in the queue has finished.

Fin and Harm want to thank you so much for your support of our First Ever VFK Ride Event. I can promise you this is just the first, more coming in the future

Hugs and lets see you build those ride rooms. We know how creative you are."

I was in line and got that message I am still waitng in my room with lag so bad I don't know if I'll ever get in.

Edit: 1 hour and 10 minutes after I got that message I got on the ride and got the special pond w/frog piece what a change from vmk. [in that respect]

Cloudymellowdisco · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:26 PM »

Rats! I could kick myself. I missed today's event!

Thought they would have an afternoon session like yesterday!!

littlebelle · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:31 PM »

Well I must say for their first ever big event this went off really well. Better than anything VMK did the first time. They thought ahead. When they saw the lines way to long for yesterday they added to other rooms so you at least had a chance to get the pink or blue start piece. They made sure if you were in the line you got to finish.

And a very nice note at the end.!!!! Great job I would say.

But I think we are in for major lag in VFK till they work through the memory lag these ride pieces takes. I just stayed in an empty room till it was my turn to ride again. So no lag and excess memory taking up my computer.

As soon as I did put down only a few ride pieces wow the lag. So not sure how they are going to handle this. But I am sure they will.

I have an extra pond if you would like it .

SleepingBeth · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:36 PM »

Belle, that's so sweet of you to offer and I thank you!

I don't want to take up your offer unless you really don't need the extra pond. Maybe I could give you a pink and blue start piece???

mir4mad · « **Reply #25 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:13 AM »

oh no! princess and I missed the ride events this weekend. We both thought it would be the same pieces etc. Tried to catch up on some paperwork this weekend and didn't check in on VMKnobs at all either. UGH!

First, I have to say that I agree with you, Belle, for their first big event like this, things went really well. Their queue system and automatic riding upon entering was great. It was like they took a queue system like VMK's and made it better. The rides were fun and the surprise items were a nice touch.

SleepingBeth and Mir4Mad, I have extra ponds I will send them out later tonight to you both as gifts, so we don't even have to try to meet to trade. Mir4Mad, I will send 2 to Princess' character, one for each of you.

Also, maybe I was just choosing the wrong queue, but I think I was choosing the rides for the VFK nudist colony! Good Gravy, lots of folks riding without their clothes or hair.
