Alien Seed Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 There was some dispute in one of the PKIC Survivor challenges lately about the above topic. The results of this poll will have absolutely no effect on the game, so it is safe and legal to answer. Please give your honest opinion.

docdude316 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 You ride both, neither are coasters, so they're both flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Here we go with the whole if its not a coaster it must be a flat ride, their are other classifications of rides such as in this case of antique cars it is a "car ride" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleHenry Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Exactly, that was my feeling. Tiques was a car ride, Action FX Theater is a motion simulator. IMO, not a flat ride. It doesn't matter Jeff, I already explained why even if I dropped the question, it wouldnt make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Seed Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Don't side with TRTRGuy, UH. I told him you said that about it being a "car ride." I doubt he's being serious. And I don't care about getting back in the game, I'm trying to prove a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Yeah i was just joking, i voted for both being a flat ride, but there are other classifications than flat ride and roller coaster. For example is drop zone a "flat ride" in some opinions yes, in others no, how can a 315 foot ride be a flat ride, it all depends on interpretation.

UncleHenry Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Exactly, which is why I considered dropping that question, it was all based on interpretation. But even if that question was dropped, he still would've lost. Give it up Jeff, jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Seed Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 The question was not unfair UH. The only ride in Coney that is not a coaster, which could be up for interpretation, as TRTRGuy said, is AT. But you yourself excluded this ride from the question, so you settled that problem. The question was not unfair, your answer was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Okay, back to a semi-original thought; A Classification of a flat is not just a "non-Coaster" There are several other ride classifications... Tower Rides "Journey" or "Car" Rides, ones that can ultimately be changed several times but give the same basic ride experience... for Example, the two track layouts for the Lewis and Clark Trail, antique cars at Holiday World. Lets see, there are others as well... So right now we have Coaster- ex. Beast or FACE/OFF Tower- ex. Drop Zone or Eiffel Tower Car- ex. Les Taxis or Days of Thunder So if anybody can help out with this, that would be nice... I am pretty sure I have covered most of it, but I also feel as if I may be excluding some... give me the type and I can group it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Guess you are going buy Rollercoaster Tycoon rules for this pole. Yes Action FX Theater is a motion simulator and The Old Cars are a car ride that power them self. Know if the old cars where in a building and did not power them self at all then they would be a flat ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Actually no, they go by Transport, Gentle, Thrill, Coaster, Water. I think of "Flume" "Coaster" "Tower" "Car" "Flat" "Other" Flume.......... WWC, Thornberries Coaster....... Beast, FoF Car............. 'Tiques, DOT Flat............. Flying Eagles, Delirium Other.......... Motion Simulator, Euro-Bungee This should be fairly Easily understood. My Method Works for me, but nobody Tracks the count of "Non-Coaster Rides" they ride, do they? sad... I track My Coaster Count, 24, measly I know, but I dont count doubles. Racer=1 Twisted Twins=1 But that is another Topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think they are both flat rides. I accidentally voted for AFXT as not a flat ride and the Tique's were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingEaglesWereTheWorstRideEver Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I track My Coaster Count, 24, measly I know, but I dont count doubles. that is really cool that you count how many times you've ridden a roller coaster / how many coasters you've been on. you rock man.

Twisted twins is one in my book, I dont see how you can consider them separate, they wouldnt be the same without the mate, its all about the experience!

TheKlockster Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Um, Dueling Dragons is two. I can see Racer being taken either way - and personally I see it as two. If they turn one of the Gemini trains backwards like I heard they might - it will be two in my book as well. But Dueling Dragons has no question. They share a lift. That is it.

italianchef Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Since neither ride is a roller coaster, they are both flat rides. Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Since neither ride is a roller coaster, they are both flat rides. Have a great day! Italian Chef There are other classifications than Roller coasters, and flat rides. I personally don't consider a 315 ft. tall ride a flat ride, its a tower/ drop ride. Also i feel Fx theatre is a motion similator. Further more you have log rides, chute-the-chute rides etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Here is how I see it: Roller Coasters Flat Rides Transportation/Observation Rides Water Rides Waterpark Rides Dark Rides/Simulators I would put Tiques in Transportation/Observation, and AFXT in Dark Rides/Simulators.

MarketingExpress Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 First of one of them isn't even in service so we can place that in the junk pile AT is a flat ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
