Solution to ToT 13K/5K?

[demonnit]

My wife and I for some reason ran past the final clue (right near the finish) and didn't catch it. Who kidnapped Stone Granite? We had it down to Jack Diamond and Roman Holiday.

I have no idea myself. I'm going to move this to the events/competition side of WISH where someone who did the event may have the answer.

I wasn't following the mystery. But near the end I did see a big Jack of Diamonds projected on the wall. Does that help any?

I got the first two clues in the staging area, but during the race was paying attention to running! Some were easy to get, the cheerleaders for Fruiti, the missing letter (x) and fiddlesticks. What was with the mooses'? I missed the Jack of Diamonds on the wall, but did talk to the real one before the race.

I missed the announcment after the race.

If you go on the towerofterror13k website there is a video announcing it..I forget what the answer was though since I didnt participate in this part.

There were actually 3 clues to get before the race started.

1. was by the Spira tent that elimated Francis Floot
2. at the "sign in" area (were you could sign the guest register, on one side of
the boards there was a sign on top that said "Look for someone who left
their mark" and there was a lipstick kiss print, which elimated Minerva
Lipwhistle
3. near the port-a-lets, was the letter that elimated Honey Darling.

The remaining ones might not be in order, so forgive me

4. on the dirt path towards the WWOS, there were speakers with someone
Saying "Vladimir Pooey" so he was elimated
5. on the track, they were playing "Tutti Fruti" by Little Richard and there
were cheerleaders with a "Fruiti" sign, so Talallah Fruiti was gone
6. towards the end of the WWOS there was two signs followed by some
horses. Shell-Bee-Mare, so Shelby Mayer was elimated.
7. outside of WWOS were two reindeer with green horns, so that's Bucky
Greenhorn
8. heading back towards Hollywood Studios there were a few boards with the
alphabet missing one letter, it was X, so the Ex-Girlfriend was elimated
9. almost back into the Studios was a sign that said (almost missed it
because the "clue" balloon wasn't blown up or lit)
"Just Add Water
T_E C_ _K"
H2O, means THE COOK, so he's gone.
10. after Lights Motor Action, were a couple of guys on stilts with fiddles, so
was Freddy Fiddlesticks.
11. lastly, was just before the finish, on the back of TOT was a giant
projection of a Jack of Diamonds, so that's Jack Diamond

Which leaves only Roman Holiday, so he's the correct answer, but did he REALLY kidnap Stone Granite?????

Hope that helps

Howdy all,
I have pictures and videos of the clues and the press conference -- soneevda.blogspot.com/2009/10/disney-race-twilight-zones-tower-of.html

(Running with a camera wasn't too bad when you're running for fun, though I did have to hustle in order to make the press conference at midnight.)

For the emails leading up to the race, along with the list of suspect and mystery tour rules, I have those posted here -- soneevda.blogspot.com/2009/10/journalrun-tower-of-terror-13k-eve.html

Enjoy
