Quackerstone Duck Racing
Looking for something fun to do in sl with friends or for a fun date night? Quackerstone Duck Racing may just be what you are looking for! Risin and I just had a go at it and had a blast.
When you arrive, step over to the giant yellow duckie and click on the big red button below him. You have your choice of fast or slow ducks to ride and race. The fast are a bit harder to control and move much faster, while the slow ones get to use the power up's you hit along the way at each gate. Guess the best one is the one you can win with, but it's all in the driving of your rubber duckie. For added fun, if you bump another racer, you hear a squeek from the ducks. It was funny.
Above I show the map of the coarse. It doesn't look bad there, but it's very deceiving. The gates are at angles and at one point you have to jump off a ramp. The lower picture look carefully and you can see the race coarse. If you miss a gate, it will tell you to go back and won't give a final time till you make it through all gates. Occasionally a gate didn't rez in right away, but if you follow the course, you will get them all.
If you are on a slow duck, then you will want to hit these power ups. Hopefully someone doesn't hit it before you though and uses it. Still not sure which type is duck is better so try them both out. Loosing the power up but still easier to control may be the way to win. When you get to the finish line it will tell you your time, but it also posts the last 10 times and top 10 times on the board. I came close but didn't make it to the top 10.
When you are done there is a dance floor in the middle of the course. I've never seen a dj here, though a sign say there is one from time to time. Its quiet and a great place for you and your date or friends. There is an intan with couples and singles dances.
This was created back in 2010 so it has stood the test of time. In SL that's like forever! I'm always looking for fun and creative things to do, and this certainly fulfilled that.
Here's the SLURL if you want to give it a try!
