Launched Coaster opinions
SharkTums replied to BC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I hate rough rides and I don't understand the people that say HRRR is rough. I've been on it at least five times now and it has not been rough for me. I'm assuming what people mean is the transitions it makes are tight (and probably would have been better with a single car) but it's lap bar only and super comfortable. The ride is also very smooth, not vibrating or anything like that. All that being said, I prefer Formule X to HRRR. I should ride two more launched X-Cars this summer so we'll see. -
Photo TR of Asia (1/22 - a favor to ask!)
SharkTums replied to JDo217's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's odd that after all of your traveling you found the Tokyo Subway/Train system complicated. It's giant that's for sure, but it is very well signposted and if you have one of the cards you can seamlessly go from line to line. You have to remember that HK's MTR is so much smaller and newer, they learned a lot from Tokyo I'm sure! -

Of those three, easy! Maurer Sohne all the way! Formule X is one of the most underrated coasters out there, and I can't wait to try more of the launched X-Cars! -

DKR, I like your latest a lot! I would like to see it with the top that user iloverides did. Meaning where it says Theme Park Review and what all the sections look like (don't like the tab look) I also would love to see it with two more sections added to the bottom just above the mailing list. Facebook/Twitter Feed and video of the day. I think we're really getting close! -
^Togo looping mouse has been gone for some time now. They will close rides in a light rain. Drizzle should be okay.

^If you have the money I would go to Sea World, BGT, or Uni/IOA as they all have pay skip the line systems so you don't have to worry about the crowds! Also, a very important tip is to always check which parks have Extra Magic Hour at Disney and if you're NOT staying on Disney property, avoid them on those days.

This seems very odd. Even if you're 'just into credits' you chose Sea World Florida and Busch Gardens Tampa as your only two parks to hit? Have you been to Orlando before? It would be pretty silly to not go to IOA/Universal for a day. You should be able to get all of the credits at those two parks without a problem. If you want to do other things as well, just look into their Express skip the queue program. I'm assuming you're saying Magic Kingdom is most interesting to you cause it has the most credits? Keep in mind I believe Thunder Mountain will be down and we don't have a firm reopening date for the kiddie coaster yet, but it should be open. You might as well just plan a crazy Disney Day, get a one day hopper, and hit all the credits and some other decent rides as well. With good planning this is possible. Keep in mind you're traveling over Memorial Day Weekend and that is a busy park time for Orlando.

^I think you missed a lot of key elements that Robb and I had said we wanted. - Bigger main picture up top - Facebook Feed - Video of the day -

^I like your version of the pull down menu as it doesn't intrude on the rest of the page as much. Chris, check out www.rccl.com for a pull down menu on a real site that I think works well. -

I think DKR and Angry_Gumball are both closest to what I like right now. If we took Angry's top and DKR's bottom I'd love to see something like that. Also, maybe instead of a 'latest forum posts' box that could be the Facebook Feed? -

^^Angry_Gumball I like your 'big image' that will change the most of any right now. Really like that. I'm kind of liking the idea of the guy who did the pull down menus on top, then your big slider image (or whatever it's called!), then some of the 'cleaner' boxes that others have created. I think the thing that I don't like on our current page is all of the lines/boundries/boxes, whatever you want to call them. It's hard to explain, but it just seems like too many lines and not just a clean image with matched up text. I hope this makes sense! -

^^I don't like it very much. Seems a bit amateurish. Very similar to what we have now. I don't think we want any background images like that. -

I also like DKR's but I feel it's too close to what we have now. I would like a bit newer. -

I like Aidan's as well, but I also like the idea of a Facebook feed, and maybe one other 'area' on the page. -

The Park Index icon doesn't make sense. As much as I like the other icons, not sure they will work with a newer, more sleek design. Perhaps there's another use or place for them? -

^To me, it seems a little random and with the different size boxes I'm not that big of a fan. -

^I like small text...you're just old! Seriously though, can't you just use the options on your browser to make the text size larger if it bothers you enough? -

Yeah, trust me, no offense Chris! There's a reason you don't even see Robb and I trying to sketch out what we want...we're TERRIBLE at graphic design! Did I ever share with you the time my art teacher yelled at me in 5th grade and made me clean up after everyone else because I was so poor at elementary art?!?! -
