� Rev and Ride and Points Aplenty - I sure hope it will be for everyone this time...

This event is the same game as Surfingers. For the ones that have tried it last time, it is very hard to play. For some people, including me, it got easier and actually was a bit fun after you play a lot and get the hang of it. But I also know it will be hard for someone else and will never get easier.
Here are some tips I have from last time which may help those that want to try:

If you are right handed, try to swipe the screen on the far right of the screen. This way you can try to block as little as possible the screen so you can see what’s coming ahead

Don’t bother trying to go for the reward chest unless it’s in the way that you will get it naturally. The chest rewards are not worth the fall (mostly you can fall if you move up or down too fast or slow). I had 4 chests so far and I got 4000 coins, 1 shovel, 1 platinum ingot, and 1 green gem. I fell each and everytime after I got the chest and had to pay to continue lol

Like the chests, don’t try to get the stars. Grab the ones on the way but focus on swiping up or down and avoiding the obstacles (hot air balloon or big giant tree). The stars will come naturally as you play but not trying to get them on purpose will make you stay focused and not fall as easily

Try to get the magnet if you can, this is a godsend because you can get all the stars while only focusing on just moving up or down
Since this event should start next week, there should be event tasks in the regatta. We didn’t have it last time as it happened during RoC week, so we will need your help in gathering the event tasks when it starts.

The personal rewards for this event will be “spin the wheel”. There will be 2 new profile pictures and new decor (s?). We have posted a sneak peek of the pictures and new decor yesterday, which we will include again on this post for your reference.

Points Aplenty: There should be 2 “2x event point” events for Rev and Ride - 11/24/2020 and 11/28/2020.

So, did you guys start enjoying this event when you got used to it? I struggled all the way through. Getting a good score completely eluded me

I don't think it's a mistake. No company would be so  . . . . {fill in blank here}

It has to be intentional . . . they have to know they're doing it, it would just make it so much nicer if they just came out and told us . . . unless they like getting all the complaints/negative ratings?

And if by some miracle after months of messing up our games and months of us complaining about it they still don't understand . . . Playrix: just fire all those free interns you have as they are probably costing you more in customer ratings and lost purchases than if you'd just hired programmers . . .

So far my first three spins have garnered me 5000 coins, two bricks and a See the Light booster. (I had to use air sickness bags after the first two spins.)

At the moment, I am #175 on the Global Top Leaderboard but will likely drop off this listing when I go to sleep. (Don't tell anyone, but I play in bed.)

I have 2 bricks, a decoration, 2 hammers for my spins.

Yeah, I also play in bed----but not this game 

Soooo @Mic Miller Along with My panic pill delivery I need some sick bags as well!!! 

First runs I did pretty good!!! Then they hooked up the Nitrous and added several triple tap ups and downs so I continuously crashed!!! It finally slowed down for 2 runs then right back to Super Sonic Speed!! 

Prize wheel has given me $2 TCash, a bronze ingot and One can of paint.....

Think I'm leaving the amusement park and going home 

I am on iOS and don’t have either one. I can live without Rev and Wreck, but really would have liked Mine Time. I looked at the regatta and there are event tasks. Mine says “This event has ended.”

I’m on iOS and don’t have Rev & Ride either....

I'm on iOS and don't have Rev & Ride...or Mine time.

But...

I also have the exact same town on my Mac computer, showing current regatta tasks..everything.
And to my surprise, for some reason Rev & Ride is showing and I can play it.
Try playing Rev & Ride with a mouse   

Anyhow, I am somehow anxious about going back to my iPad. There is some kind of time lag and I have had to refill the same train crates and collect the same ingots..again. Though the regatta stuff seems okay. But I do wonder if I am trying to play the Rev & Ride all for nothing and I will find even the pitiful winnings on the prize wheel (bricks and 3 picks, yay!) will not register...wherever they are supposed to register, lol.

This is the reply I got about not being able to play.....I played it last time though!

Ooops managed to post it twice!

Lol, it is better twice than zero!

I have removed the duplicate

Thanks for sharing the response @Stella Eaton I am curious they are still saying testing is the reason for these differences in players towns. Very strange

Although I still think CS is rubbish, they do seem to be replying with friendlier responses these days. I know this will probably just be a canned reply, nevertheless they have obviously made changes to them

CS is rubbish!!! (to keep it clean in here) I lost my zoo before the great update happened and they didn't fix it properly. I had to rebuy all of my enclosures, which I still don't have all of them out yet. a lot of coins and material needed to build each one. I complained several times with no help, just a (empty) promise to help. playing on my windows 10 laptop.
They did give me coupons for my land and all my decorations back.

Well this is all interesting. Most of us play iOS on iPads in our co-op and two got no mine time or Rev and Ride. I got Mine time, and the double ore for one day, but no Roller coaster. Others got just Rev and Ride. In Regatta, there are events for 135 points that tell me the event is over but the ones who have it can pick those tasks.No one likes Rev and Ride who got it.

 We are in Silver this week and getting a huge number of 128 points, with few 135 so far. I still have No Help Button!!!! The only thing that got fixed was my keyboard. I just know that Professors experiments will be unfair again but I guess for me the rewards are worth it. 

I tried emailing Playrix last time and they were no help. Sorry if I sound whiny, but even them telling us it’s a test group doesn’t make sense. Otherwise everyone would get Mine Time and others would get an extra game.

I wonder why they don’t listen to us?

I can't help but wonder What Exactly Playrix is actually  "Testing"         

To See How Disgruntled Their Most Long ~Term, Loyal and  {possibly} Profit Making Players Can REALLY Get?????   

I have been "hearing" the lab rats and maze mice laughing their whiskers off at us for some time. (Too bad these "experimenters" are untouchable.)

Anyone knows what is the final personal goal points needed to get the avatar/profile picture?

I got the profile picture on the seventh spin (which has typically been the case for me in my Prize Wheel events).

Thanks @Mic Miller, I think I am at either 5/6 now. I kind of lost count.

I am at the level requiring 4700 points...probably will not reach that until the next points aplenty
