Now I'm really confused. I'm gonna go look... so mark me out of this one. I catch up on the next question. But I will say, your question was a good one! There are some surprises there, especially for us USAans!

My God!! You're right! I never would have guessed that was the case. And I've ridden through all areas on motorcycle rides. In fact, two rides we took were to ride from what we thought was the northern-most point, starting right at the border, and finishing in at what we thought was the southern-most point. Then a few months later doing the same thing for what we thought was the eastern-most point to what we thought was the western-most point! Now... I have to admit we blew it on one of them! Good call!

I hope I haven't derailed this thread entirely?

Given the lack of input to this one, I'll give it another hour and then publish the answer and declare Stitchawl the winner (7/8 ain't bad, after all).

OK, the answers were:

All 50: N, Alaska; S, Hawaii; E, Alaska; W, Alaska

Contiguous: N, Minnesota; S, Florida; E, Maine; W, Washington

Your turn, Stitchawl.

That business with Minnesota really knocked me for a loop! My riding buddies and I made soooo sure that we were at the northern-most part of Maine for the start of our Top-To-Bottom ride. Little did we know...

Same brain bust hit me when I found out Reno, Nevada was further west than L.A., California!

Anyway... on to the games....

Medicine is medicine, except when it's a theme park. What is the name of the Theme Park developed around a famous medicine, and where is it located?

(BTW... don't go there. It ain't worth the entry fee.)

Coloxyl world alternated with immodium world. Coming to a suburb near you!

Sounds like something the Chinese or Japanese would try.

Hint: It's a medicine you most likely have used in the past. Perhaps you still have some in your medicine cabinet. It IS that common!

Sorry, Sneaky... That ain't the place. Try again.

Let me know when you get to K-Y World...

But that ain't the place either... though it does have marketing potential.

Wally World?

Pepto Park?

poohbear_nc · 01-27-2011, 09:02 PM

Bromo-Rama?

Stitchawl · 01-27-2011, 09:17 PM

Sorry, guys. My question is about a real theme park that is centered around a medicine. It is in a major city, can be found in tourist guide books, and is visited by thousands every day! Unfortunately, thousands are pretty disillusioned when they leave as the whole thing is basically a huge advertisement, all 'show' and no 'go!'

I've got to go out and get my chores done. A couple of serious honeydo's... If Bilbo can't give us the correct answer by this evening (another 6 hours or so for his timing) I'll give you the hint that will lead you by the nose to this palace of glitz!

I know chocolate is sometimes considered a medicine.
