bad rate?

http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchang ... p?tid=7404


i think krisse's rate is rather low. its not terribly low, just low enough (compared to the rest) for me to think its an unfair rate. it's not explained well at all (well, neither are the others - but those give some examples)

"This could have been a lot better. The track is very rough, the lay out is a kind of a 'standard' lay out, if you know what I mean..."

basically he / she says its rough (where?) and has a standard layout when that's what was ment for the contest. also, where else have you seen a trick track at the top of a bunny hop? i dunno.. it's not that bad of an under rate but i still think its too low. do as you wish, i just want you guys to look at it.[:)]

so, if iget it right its just a straight piece of track banked?

Yeah, intended to add excitement, or in some cases an odd feeling (like Togos')

yeah, the only modern coasters built with a trick track are boulder-dash and shivering timbers. the others have been demolished. (well, the others i know about)

The Villain also has trick track...CCI liked to use it.

oh yeah.. i forgot about that one



but enough about the trick tracks.. lets get to the questionable rate!

I think the numerical rate was fine, it's the comments that need to be a bit more thorough.

i think the numerical rate is plausible but low. basically i think the ride deserves about a 7 like the other 2 raters thought aswell. but i'm also the creator of the ride so of course i think its above average (lol) but i think that if they're going to rate lower than the majority of people, they'd better have a reason why and in that rate they simply dont. if its bumpy, tell me where the bumps are, if it pumps, tell me where and how badly. it seems that they took a lot of points off simply because it's an out and back coaster and because it's a rough ride. now, i know its rough, but what does that mean, does that mean bumpy, harsh transitions, pumps, unrealistic, bad g's.. it doesnt say enough.

I'm going to let the rating stay. All the other rates weren't explained all that well either

And remember, just because the coaster is designed for a contest doesn't mean people have to keep that in mind when rating it.
