TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index


Recommended Posts

Once we get everything up and running we will listen to feedback for future revisions. We are at a point in time where every little change now delays the whole process. Like I said this enhancement is two years in the making, we wanted to release it last year, but were not happy with the quality and scale at the start of the 2010 park season. With technology and on the internet you will always see revisions and upgrades and TPR will be no different, but TPR doesn't want to release a crappy product.

 

As far as the nostalgia, practically all of it is submissions from TPR members. The ASSistants have copied photos from their posts (thank you Shane and Mark) and "cataloged" those photos under the appropriate park. Unfortunately, a lot of those submissions come from our US contingent at this time.

This looks so awesome - and really fills a void (there seems to be so many coaster rating/comments websites, but nothing really of quality at the park level). The design also looks spot-on - you guys are doing a really fantastic job.

In all seriousness, this is the most exciting thing I've seen out of this site since I joined. It will not only be super useful and fun for the members, but with Google and Bing etc. searching the web, it will drive a lot of traffic to TPR by non-enthusiasts, being very useful for a parent of their first child in planning, for example, a trip to Disneyworld. I know when we first went, I was 5 years old and didn't find Epcot to be very fun at all, but my parents had already planned on a full day there, and they said later they would've just as well spent a second day at MK, since we didn't get to everything they wanted to in 1 day during the busy summer. Granted, there was no real internet to speak of back then, but I can see this being a valuable resource to members of TPR and non-members alike. Kudos.

I think this idea came from aliens, there is no way you guys thought of this.

 

How do you know we aren't aliens?

 

He knows TPR's dark secret! He must be absorbed!

 

The new Park Index is going to take TPR to another level--I'm really looking forward to it.

As the Submission feature in the Park Index is currently disabled, the best way to currently submit a ride photo is to download the photo into this thread or e-mail me at larrygator@themeparkreview.com.

 

Remember photos must be .jpg should not exceed 800x600 (Unfortunately, in the past many people have submitted photos that were far too large for TPR to use or in pdf form.)

 

High quality photos, please (not blurry, distorted or out of focus).

 

Lastly, we are not adding kiddie rides or major upcharges at this time, but we are at the point where family rides such: transportation rides, carousels, ferris wheels and bumper cars are being added.

 

We are also not adding FECs (Family Entertainment Centers) to the Park Index. Our current rule of thumb is to include places that have 6 or more adults rides.

 

And if you have to ability to scan your park maps, feel free to submit those for the years that all not already in the Park Index.

 

Of course any PTRs containing superior photos or entertaining captions and a variety of pictures including multiple rides and areas (Not just one or two rides/attractions) are always valued. Attention has been given to every previously submitted Photo TR. Don't feel discouraged if we can't include every one.

 

Photo in your PTRs must be downloaded onto the Theme Park Review server (not Imageshack, photobucket) for it to be included in the Park Index, that way we know a Red X will never appear.

 

Lastly, if you have photos of a non-kiddie ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also. The list of what we need is not complete, only based on ride that appear on my personal park maps.

Six Flags Over Georgia 2010 park map.

 

Also it says that Ninja is either closed or no longer open, it was operating when I was there in 2010.

 

I also have a higher quality photo of Sandstorm ride at Busch Gardens Africa if you want it.

I really like the New Park Index

and I just found out there is a Theme Park Review Party's to grade

Brilliant

I'm shocked it took this long for someone to post about it!

 

Yes, it's quietly gone live and we're doing some testing on it. Very soon I'm going to roll out a site-wide beta test! But for now just enjoy it for what it is!

Just a side note for the index, Survivor: The Ride is now named Tiki Twirl at CGA. www.cagreatamerica.com/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=2

 

I will be starting a thread shortly for people to supply the names of all rides that have been renamed for the 2011 season. There will be quite a lot of them and I want to keep them all in one place to track them properly.

 

thanks
