Right, sure, it's a lemon of the ride and probably wasn't a smart investment even in the concept stage. I just think when others (and I) are saying "Oh, this looked cool, that's too bad" it's in the sense that it looked like a fun, unique ride experience, nothing more and nothing less. There's no implication about the parks return on investment or the quality of the business or engineering decisions that went into it. I've been on quite a few rides which I've thought were fun experiences but at the same time technical failures or poor investments. Then again I've been on all sorts of rides which left me totally but were still probably good buys.

I also think it looked like a really cool ride. You go up high and get some nice views and zoom around for a bit, I don't really get what doesn't seem cool about that. I understand it was pretty much a complete technical failure but that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't at least semi-entertaining for some of the people who did get to take the trip. Maybe it wasn't all that thrilling but at least it seemed pleasant enough.
