There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions asking for help or hints are allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

Wild guesses and comments are fine. In fact, they can add to the mystery and are fun to read. Be precise when guessing.

The Case:
Late one evening, a young couple get into a car. The car accelerates through the darkness until it suddenly plunges hundreds of feet, flips over and comes to rest. The couple get out of the car quickly, shaken but unscathed.

The Mystery:
Where were the couple?

Space Mountain? But the case stated that the car "flips over" and I know that space mountain doesn't have any loops on it. (I've ridden it a million times - still no loops). Wouldn't it have to have a loop for the car to be considered flipping over?

I still say it's Revolution because the ride starts out in the shade of the trees (darkness) and emerges into the open right before it plunges and goes into the loop.

EDIT: In addition to the trees, the ride happened late one evening. --> Darkness
(I can't help but nitpick when this is such a fun game. Thanks, Peetster!)
