This is regarding Dijavixxxxx. My American Screamer, a typical out and back, while admittedly not extremely original, is typical of a type of coaster. John Allen and Miller & Baker, to suggest two names associated with out and backs, built/designed many coasters in this style. While they got paid to come up with such designs, and while it doesn't deserve real high marks for originality, perhaps it deserves some consideration for replicating a style? I don't think 2.5 is appropriate, in any event. A 5? Maybe - that would be average. But 2.5 is an indication this is "poor". Dijavixxxx even says it's "bad". Sometimes he goes too far in my opinion in his criticisms. Sometimes he says the same things about every coaster he rates. In my Lakeside Cyclone, I had to point out to him that it was a recreation; he then changed the rating. He'd failed to read what I'd written. It seems to me bad enough to expect a coaster to have car textures and 3ds (they're extras, and I don't think downrating for their lack is acceptable), but to downrate a coaster that emulates a successful style is just not logical.
