roller coaster poll

[sharwoo]

this is an idea, not necessarily good, since a democracy is flawed by the distribution of intelligence and bell curves and various maths,

 

but imagine if a park say, six flags,

 

were to present some options to the public, about a new ride they wish to build, and create an interactive voting experience,

 

and/or devise a system in order to take submissions of general design concepts , but ensuring that the people they reached were knowledgeable in the realm of coasters

 

do any suppose it is conceivable that major amusement parks may take into consideration the opinions of enthusiasts, who have a eye and soul for quality that those in the public do not,

 

although one would think the design companies themselves also have these standards, if not higher,

 

do you think they ever would peruse forums like these, for instant, that magic mountain might look here to see what people are saying about their new ride announcement, and that they might be influenced by what we feel they should do ?

Dollywood and SDC used to (still?) do this. They would have kind of a survey thing with a bunch of different ride options and see what people thought of them. Actually, now that I think about it, Paramount Parks did it too. That's how the Italian Job coasters were built.

Sharwoo, thanks for joining TPR. If you could possibly try to make your posts more "legible" by using proper sentences, grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Your current posts kind of looking like strange free verse poetry that's hard to read.

Please refer to the posting rules:

Thanks.

I still to this day wonder what the addams family eurofighter would have been like. Rumor has it that mystery mine was the reincarnated version but that myth was busted by a park official.

Well, Gardaland has recently posted a kind of survey for a 2011 coaster.

the options are Flaying, Dive and Tower coaster...

[matteocrepaldi]

Gardaland also did it to chose the theming for their Vekoma mine train.

^^Tower coaster?

Well, they are kind of similar.

 

I still wish the Disk'O had been enclosed and had an animatronic bear. (And of course the bear thing kinda sorta happened with Timber Tower.)

But, surely, a common understanding requires an agreed upon set of basic rules.

 

Would it not be less total effort for you to bend to what the rest of us already understand, than for all of us to have to work to understand your concept of legibility?

 

/Jazz sucks.

And you won't sound like someone who thinks they are above everyone else here because you think you are on a higher level of conciseness.

 

 

Jazz doesn't suck, it's just misunderstood. To be able to play all those caotic notes and still keep a time signature takes incredible skill.

I had to read that over a few times to understand what you were even saying!

Flaying, Dive and Tower coaster

Flaying coaster? A coaster that rips the skin off your body? Count me out.

 

^^Tower coaster?

It's a Eurofighter...

The post IS legible, but without the caps and punctuation, it's a lot harder to read and all those big words make it difficult to understand.

 

But back on topic, parks create polls/surveys to determine what new rides/attractions to place all the time. I know Herschend did it with DW and the former Paramount Parks also released surveys to figure out which rides to add next.
