raptor6 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 The former CCI employees have finally updated their website! There are videos of all of their coasters (Hades, Voyage, Boardwalk Bullet, Ravine Flyer II, plus a concept design) and just a lot of other cool stuff! www.thegravitygroup.com/
Sticky Nicky Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I checked it out and it has a much better design than before. I like the videos and their timeline of projects they have done.
SharkTums Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Ugh, all the annoying skip intro videos bug me.
spaceace12 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 ^ me too. So I looked at the concept video. Allot of LoCoSuMo video in it. I thought the layout looked neat and I could see this type of coaster at large family entertainment centers and small parks.
Dailey Enterprizes Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I liked the Ravine Flyer 2 renderings and photos.
texcoaster Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Did anyone else have a problem with the videos not playing correctly? I would get a second or two of motion, then stop, then after a bit, another second of motion, etc... It was like I was on dial-up or something, but the rest of the site didn't do that.
CoasterFanatic Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Better but not great. I am really not a big fan of the whole "Flash Intro" concept. Like splash pages, they just provide another hoop that the customer has to go through for the real content. The site does do a good job of catering to it's core audience, the customer. I imagine that is the primary goal overall. // Would people actually adopt the W3C standards already! Table layout is so 1995.
Airtime&Gravity Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Did anyone else have a problem with the videos not playing correctly? I would get a second or two of motion, then stop, then after a bit, another second of motion, etc... It was like I was on dial-up or something, but the rest of the site didn't do that. That happened to me, but I figured it was becasuse the videos are unable to run on a mac. It is a nice improvement, and it is nice that the site was updated for the first time since Hades was under construction. The photos, videos, and news were nice, and the layout is nice. The concept coaster looks really fun to, and I'm just amazed they got that layout from a 20 foot tall coaster.
arrowfanman Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 LOL at their site needing to be "retracked". -Jahan
Shockwave Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Is the animation and the endless waiting really necessary?
verticalzero Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I got problems view the videos as well, best to stick with youtube.com till they are sorted out. Why can't GG to add some Full HD pictures of their coasters.
ParkTrips Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 They should spend more time working on getting their coasters to be ridable more than twice. I thought the old site was fine, they don't really need all the flash nonsense.
coasterdude28 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I like the new website. It has a nice array of content for the consumer to look at. Hopefully they will keep it updated.
DenDen Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Unfortunately, their host sucks, I could barely get anything to load without waiting 10 minutes. LOL Flash is so passe now. People need to get over it and just use it's most valuable asset: multi-platform compressed video! Hehehehe.
