Wow, congratulations! T'is a great prize! Your house is soon going to be a shrine to the Corkscrew! Nice one.
towersfreak, the question wasn't worded badly - Gary capitalised the word 'Corkscrews', which subtley showed that the Corkscrews in question were named that way - i.e. The Corkscrew roller-coaster and the Corkscrew fountain.
The other corkscrews you mentioned aren't really the same, I'm pretty sure the B&M name for the Nemesis 'corkscrews' are Wing Overs...?

I'm glad I didn't enter, i would have said the Thunderlooper . Well done to John, your house must be Corkscrew heaven.
I feel a bit silly now. I knew the answer, but didn't enter as I a) couldn't be bothered and b) thought everyone would know it.

It's quite funny how the only bits of publicly released Corky "stuff" have gone to the same household too.
I still wish they'd have taken names and addresses of people on the 9th November and everyone could have had a little souvenir once the ride had been dismantled.
Oh well.
