Where is maverick so much different than any other Intamin rides? That ride was manufactured by Intamin,
designed by Stengel! Every inch of that ride always looked, felt and rode like an Intamin. The transitions are smaller, sure. But the way they are designed - the same! The actual elements can be different, but shaping and such is pretty much identical on all those rides.
If I may interject some feelings here:

My question is, why have you gotten so bent out of shape? You have your standards, he has his and I have mine. We all will differ on creativity as well. Why cant someone express that they don't like the top-hat entrance? Whats it matter if he doesn't like it?
For the record, I don't like it either. But whatever. It's not a big deal. It just wouldn't go down for me as one of the more realistic rides Ive seen created.

So you'll not name em, but say they know who they are. Well, if they intentionally are jackasses, then yes they would know. But if its who they are, then they wouldn't.
Secondly, I think your statement is a little self-glorifying and misses the point. I'm starting to feel like I'm only allowed to think every coaster (or coaster created by Landon) is teh b3st co5sta eva! Which I hope isn't your intent, but its how you come off.

And that seals the deal. I don't recall anyone saying they were better than you. I'm not even sure I can count on one hand CKWMN saying that to someone. But you've got the kahunas to just come out and declare yourself better than everyone? That's...impressive?
What Ive seen here is classic. First, yes Flickstah, I noticed all the punctuation, spelling and overall English mistakes. It was slightly annoying. I don't think being on the Internet or a forum is an excuse to slack with the language. Again though, its not that big a deal. You seem like you normally would but are just being lazy.
But I see CKMWM doing his usual picking apart then the two of you trying to launch some sort of attack. I believe this all started by him stating his opinion on what the Top Hat entrance was like. Am I correct? Ive read this topic a few times...
If so, its a pretty pathetic and Middle School "there's 2 of us so well gang up on the guy" mentality. All because he stated his opinion and you both didn't like it. That happens in life guys. You either deal with it or I guess you do what you two did which is pretty low. Reminds me of middle school stuff, ya know?
Funny thing is, CKWMW IMO isn't the fool here. I see him being ganged up on and then having rather immature comments and dialogue thrown at him.
Sooooo. Yea. Back to the coaster. I don't like the entrance to the top hat either. I don't think its really creative or original, its nothing drastically different. Not like a new element, just a different transition which is fine. I'm sure the ride experience is good. If I had to look at it from the perspective of a Intamin/Stengel ride, Id say its off. Am I allowed to say that?
