RWNContact Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm working on the development team for RideWarriorNation.com and came across this forum. I've taken notice of many of the things that have been commented on about it, and will work to get them corrected. If you can, please include as precise data as possible in your responses. I know there are some issues with the cards, and we are working to resolve them. If anything else arises, please let me know. This website has been a huge undertaking in order to incorporate all of Cedar Fair in it, and it appears we have made some mistakes. Feel free to continue to air your grievances, we appreciate the feedback and need it to make the site better. This site is by Ride Warriors for Ride Warriors, only all of you can help us make it better. Ride on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 ...for those of you who think Cedar Fair doesn't read this here site, what say ye now? Terpy, who knows better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks for asking for our input, RWNContact and welcome to KIC. I noticed that when you're looking at the rides and you want to narrow your selection by park, the "update deck" button appears nearly off the screen (at least on my browser). I didn't even know how repopulate the list until a few minutes ago. Keep up the good work, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I think the site is a great creation and can really be a portal for us "Ride Warriors" to come together. One thing I might suggest is perhaps a trivia type quiz with prizes. I think that would be real fun... By the way, I love the opening flash video it is well done.

kjkjkj Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 While in the "Rides" section when I click the "Filter by Park" tab on the left, I can't scroll down the list at all! Or on any of the lists on there. Other than that it's a great site! I like the video on the homepage as well. Oh yeah, where are the "creeds" at?

coaster_junky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 on kings dominion's Drop Tower card, it says that it's the tallest drop ride in north american (it's 305ft tall) and Kings Island's Drop Tower is 315 feet tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 another thing is that there isn't a card for skyhawk at Cedar Point, but there is a card for jr. gemini that has a picture of skyhawk as it's card front. ps this is a great web site, and once the hiccups are all out of it, it will be in no dought in my mind an excilent one.

Brandon Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 When I do the filter by parks section, it doesn't filter them. It just goes back to the way it was with rides from all the Cedar Fair parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The Kings Island Crypt picture is the same as the Kings Dominion Crypt picture. There are some repeats like that but the facts are awesome when you flip over the cards. Good site. EDIT: Just saw this one. There are pictures of Son of Beast on the details side of The Beast. That kinda annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I am looking forward to viewing this when I get home. I have tried the site from work where we are running some ancient version of Interenet Explorer (version 5 I think) and it does not display correctly at all.

HTCO Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have no clue if this is my computer or your site, but everytime I type in the URL it goes to the hope page, and half of the page is completely black, while the other half is the site, and I can watch half of the video and hear it..

TheCryptRaider Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 on kings dominion's Drop Tower card, it says that it's the tallest drop ride in north american (it's 305ft tall) and Kings Island's Drop Tower is 315 feet tall Theirs drops a longer distance. Our brakes stop the ride earlier than their ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our brakes stop the ride earlier than their ride. He is right. Our Drop Tower drops us 264 feet. Also, that is the tallest non-gyro drop ride in North America. Our Drop Tower is the tallest gyro drop ride in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Drop Tower is the tallest gyro drop ride in the world. What is the difference between a gyro drop and a non-gyro drop? The car on a gyro drop spins around while it is ascending. Notice how our Drop Tower makes one full 360 degree revolution on its way to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotag Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 kinda makes you wonder how the effect of the drop would be if it spins on its way back down... ...rotag, who is unsure if he has a good idea or is telling utter insanities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 And its isn't possible. Considering the tire drives that spin it are on the lifting mechanism. Once it releases from the lift mechanism, it can not spin. Sorry folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWNContact Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks for the great feedback. As I said before, we will continue to work on the updates. For those having problems viewing the site at all, all I can suggest is downloading the latest version of your browser, as well as the latest version of flash. Hope that helps.

Oldiesmann Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Problems I see: No way to update the deck after choosing which park to filter things by The card for KI's Invertigo shows the one at California's Great Adventure The card for KI's Flight of Fear has an outdated photo (that ride hasn't had fog or over-the-shoulder restraints in years) Some of the cards have incomplete information on them (the one for Wild Beast at Canada's Wonderland lists the velocity at 0mph) No cards for Congo Falls, Fairly Odd Coaster, Viking Fury or White Water Canyon at KI even though cards exist for similar rides at other parks Other suggestions: Double-clicking a card to view it seems a bit odd. Any way this can be changed to single click (eg clicking on a card will allow us to view it) Change the functionality so we can click something on the card itself to close or flip it (rather than having to click something next to or above/below the card) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if its my computer or the site, but every time i try and get on it, it is all black except for th enumbers at the top and the picture at the bottom left corner. I can also hear the music, and click on things, but i cant see what i am clicking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 While I have a feeling a forums board may get rather messy, the site could use one because as far as I see it, the site is nothing more then an advertisement for all the Cedar Fair rides, rides we already know the stats for, the correct stats, I may add.
