I know why the rides were designed. Ive read almost everything I could find on John Wardley. John did most of the designing of all of those rides. B&M said "hey, we have this concept" and he said "Ok, This is what I want". John so much as had the entire layouts configured or in the very least a very rough sketch but a definitive idea with what he wanted.
JW isnt a slouch either. Thats why Nemesis is so intense - not because of B&M. Its the nature of a ride that small with so much crammed in.
But I already stated that I knew what each ride was designed for. If you think I dont, you are very mistaken. However, with that being said, I dont get much from flying coasters in general so theres nothing that can be said for Air that would make me go "OMG! I gotta ride it!" Other than for the credit. Sure its more "graceful" in movement than the SUF clones but really, they are equally smooth Im sure. Only difference obviously is height and intensity. But even still Ill go ride an Arrow Cork over a B&M flyer (well...Tatsu upsets that theory)
So what were you telling me? You say Air provides not much thrill. Isnt that what I said? :
As for Oblivion - again you just said what I said. Its essentially a drop ride made coaster. Frankly, I would feel less intimidated being able to see that I was heading into a hole. Plus just being on a coaster makes me feel safe. When you go up 300ft on an Intamin Gyro Drop you see nothing below you - just straight out. Plus, and Im not sure why, but theres something far more uneasy to being hauled up a huge pole into the air only to be released from it - OH but what a rush.
I knew you guys would get all hissy but I didnt think youd go this crazy. Its speculation from my end - not an actual analysis - duh. But I think its well deserved since Ive almost seen and read almost everything there is too read.
Plus I always tend to gravitate to opposite what everyone else does - so this shouldnt suprise you.
are you an imbosiel, you have not a clue about the alton rides. they are not just coasters like the crappy american ones. (no themeing built over a carpark shite) alton has many things to contend with such as the very stict noise order and the fact they cannot build over the tree hight, they cannot remove any of the gardens in the vally and there is a restriction order on parts of the park, such as where oblivion is must have a much lower noise than where air is.
also they put alot of thourgt into the rides themselves such as nemesis, where else can you find a coaster built 60 ft into solid rock. air i think is a very thrilling ride its not intence but that is not needed to create a thrilling ride so stop talking out of your ass and dont slag off rides you have never been on for gods sake.
plus gouldy oviesly read everthing you said and pointed out how much of a dumb ass you are because he is saying its not the build or the thill of the coaster but its the feeling. you bloody americans shurely dont understand this yet as you have not built anything like nemesis or oblivion. all it is with you lot is records, speed, height, distance never putting any thought into your rides.
Every one bow down to Real, he is the theeme park god (even thoe he hasn't been to the one's that we are talking about).
dont be a dumb ass and agree with him when he dosent know what hes on about.
(btw this isnt ment to insult you, uits genral which means it includes you)
