Here is a kinda silly level, I recently went to Kings Island amusement park.
That place has many big time roller coasters, one was called "The Vortex" so have fun.
Using Janet's "Stonecave" once again. ->

Whee! There were a couple of spots that took my breath away, so I can only imagine what the real thing was like. Thanks for the fun, Kiki!

Well, this was different, wasn't it?
Other then the scenery, it was all about the final puzzle, but it was too much to go dozing for a minute, playing for a few seconds, dozing for another minute, hoping to wake just in time for the final bit, so I used the level-editor to set the final puzzle apart, then once solving it, did the whole thing. The final part relies on a strange assymetry in the game, a glitch perhaps?
Thank you Kiki.

Riding the Diamondback was the most scared I have ever been on a roller coaster.
Don't get me wrong the Vortex was mind numbing but the Diamondback travels at over 80 miles per hour dropping 215 feet at a 74% grade sitting in an open air car, was a bit terrifying for me, but I did it.
Check it out in the link below.

I need a clue as to how to do the yellow and greens.
Do I start with a yellow or a green?
I feelas though I have tried every combination!
Help please.

Nope. Not riding that one. Uh uh. I'll stick with your rollercoasters in Wonderland.

80 mph, that 129 kph

Even more then the maximum allowed speed on the NL highway. We should beware for your next level: the Diamondback
Margmarg, it's just as Amnon said, there some asymmetry in the final part.
It makes difference if you push the green spheres right or left, also for the yellow spheres.
It doesn't make difference which colour you push first though

I love rollercoasters and I'd love to try this one. But, at the moment, I have enough with this level.
I thought it was not a Kiki's level til I arrived to the spheres

. BUt even that part, was easy and I got all the points.
Thanks for the fun,
Veronica

Keeks - what a fantastic ride! I'd never go on one of those things - how you did it I really don't know.
This is me:
I've got right to the end about 10 times. Got shot on the way 3 times.
Can't do the sphere puzzle at the end and I think I've tried pushing every which way possible.

It's not a linear solution - two sets of spheres must be moved at the same time

What a wild, wacky, crazy ride that was!

There were a few rest stops for your famous trademark of round riddles.

And the coily's provided the perfect sound for this mega-rollercoaster.

Such an awesome digital amusement park!
Thank you, King's Island Kiki!

Finally did it! Whoopeeeeee!
Thanks for the hint Amnon. Made me think slightly differently and that did the trick.
And Keeks - thanks for the really exciting level!
I'm sure the kids would love it too (without the difficult puzzles).

What do you mean with that?
I pushed the greens right and the yellows down, no matter which of them first. Then I got the coin, and pushed the greens up, waited until 3 of them are in the water and the 4th is still. Then push the yellows left, and finally the last green left and up.
Did you do it a different way?

Yes, but yours is better:
I pushed the yellows to the left first, then went up and pushed the greens up in time before the yellows arrived. Somehow I didn't see the option of pushing the greens up first, probably because I only tried it in the other direction before discovering the assymetry.

I completed it!

YAY!!!
Just for fun I also dodged a box and fire at the last ice and trampoline bit!

That was a little different for you, although the sphere puzzle took a few attempts.
Fun ride, thanks again Keeks!
