 		Does anyone know how long they're letting people into the arcade, since they're requiring tickets for it now? I'd think with only 100 people being let in every hour, it'd be a lot longer than the 20 minutes or so they offered last time.

Tickets were only for entrance last night I believe (and to score the token/End of Line club swag), it should be open to the public the rest of the time...just swagless.

 		Are all the coasters exactly the same? Or are there variants for the puzzle? I haven't actually seen an explanation yet as to how the codes were solved Razz

If there's just one coaster style, I'd love one or few Smile

According to Flynn Lives Facebook page, they are giving out 100 tickets every hour on the hour, and they started doing so at 1 P.M.

The coasters had to be combined with answer keys that were on the walls of the club. Combining them revealed one of the 6(?) Hello Flynn codes. Given the amount of Hello Flynn codes I would guess there were 6 different coasters but I think the only difference would be the partial codes on the edges.

Ah, I stand corrected, my apologies! Embarassed

 		I just got back from Flynn's and today's experience is DIFFERENT from last night! Today, the had the video games uncovered for free play and the End of Line Club was not populated by programs, it was empty.

What was others experience today?

 		And actually, curious question, are the coasters plastic or cardboard? It would be nice if they were plastic, more durable and useable without having to worry about damaging them. Definitely would love to get my hands on one or two either way.

Ya that much I gathered - the mechanism for solving was clear - half codes around the edges. But was there only one design? One coaster? Six keys along the wall, and one coaster rotated the right way would reveal the code? Or six coasters and six keys perhaps? Hoping for confirmation from someone who was there... Wink

Actually, you're right, looking at the photos it looks like 3 different codes on each side of the coaster, which would make 6 total. It seems like it was only one coaster design after all, but you're right, we would need confirmation from someone who was actually there versus speculating from limited photos and word of mouth.

Consider it confirmed -- this is exactly correct.

 		Did anyone who was at Flynn's Arcade ask if the online identity raid people were going to get anything? I doubt it...and I even more doubtful that anyone from 42E would say anything if they were asked..but wishful thinking.
