Bad Rate

DjAvixxxx's rate totally misses the point. I was doing a ride in a classical style, that of John Miller in the early 1920's. His rate is the equivilant of critising an Arrow looper for not having a zero-g roll. After reading a number of his reviews of wooden coasters, it is quite apparent he has NO clue what makes a good wooden coaster, or what is even possible. For instance, I have often seen him downrate rides for not having wheels on their brake runs. I've only seen one wooden coaster EVER to use wheels, and that was Georgia Cyclone at SFoG. This dude really needs to back off on the downrates. I've never seen him give a positive review of a wooden coaster. (Or come to think of it, just about anything.) Furthurmore, it seems his ratings are not properly done, in that I've seen hime take off for techincal things (many of them debateable points at best), in the adreneline and originality areas.

Dude, I have to disagree. I rated this as well, and he rated it quite fairly and down the middle .... as did I. It needs work man, sorry to hurt your feelings.

BUT if I may say ... you need to get a little thicker skin and not worry so much about the numbers, we are ALL here to help one another create better rides ... period. The numbers are not a personal attack on you, but how the rater sees the rides and scores it from their eyes/chair.

The rating stays. TConwell already explained why.
