My girlfriend has mentioned this before, and we were talking about it last night, and I figured I would come here for some help.

She says she was in the audience for some type of game show circa \'98-\'02 somewhere, and can\'t remember much about the show itself. All she knows is that it filmed in the summer at King\'s Island amusement park in Ohio, and most likely aired on a network, because she was able to watch it on her mom\'s antenna only TV. She remembers something involving words or a board and that is was \"very boring\". Anybody have any ideas, or is it some kind of mixed-up memory? She said it was something that wasn\'t on very long, and it\'s nothing I recognize. Any suggestions out there?

Unless there was more to the memory I\'d be hard pressed to be much help, especially given the five year spread.

A little Googling and Wiki-ing came up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_Splat_City\'>Nickelodeon Splat City, an attraction from that era and at that location that was directly based on Nickelodeon game shows. The more vague the memory, the more likely that she might be getting some specific details wrong.

She seems to believe it was not a kid\'s game show. I couldn\'t find much that was taped at King\'s Island. She\'s saying she thinks it was on ABC... Perhaps NBC. She\'s sure it aired on TV. Skedaddle aired before she was born, Zooventure taped in a way wrong part of the country, and she\'s sure it aired on TV, which eliminates the Nick thing. Perhaps she\'s just got a scrambled memory.

If it wasn\'t a kid\'s game show, the odds of it taping at a theme park not directly associated with a major studio (for example, Universal, Disney / MGM, etc.) are really, really low.

Was it the Ohio Lottery show on the road?

The idea that it was on broadcast television in that time period also strikes me as being pretty darned unlikely. I know we have some youngsters here, but 1998-2002 is not exactly ancient history. We\'re talking Regis Millionaire era, basically, and our internet fandom was already flourishing. If there had been a show from that period that aired on network television, was shot at an amusement park, and was not made for kids, you\'d have had fifty people here chiming in already telling you what it was.

Something local like that is the only thing that makes any sense to me.

It appears to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_Time_Live\'>this thing.

So arguably a game show...arguably not a show at all.
