January 17, 200521 yr 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.
January 17, 200521 yr 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"
January 17, 200521 yr 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.
January 17, 200521 yr Author 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.
January 17, 200521 yr 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.
January 17, 200521 yr 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.
January 17, 200521 yr Author 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.
January 17, 200521 yr 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.
February 8, 200521 yr 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.
February 9, 200521 yr 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...
February 9, 200521 yr I think they are both flat rides. I accidentally voted for AFXT as not a flat ride and the Tique's were.
February 10, 200521 yr 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.
February 10, 200521 yr 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. haha i get it...you're making fun of him...man thats some thick sarcasm man.
February 10, 200521 yr I think we should all ask the new Head Sup of Action Theater if it's a flat ride or not...
February 10, 200521 yr I think we should all ask the new Head Sup of Action Theater if it's a flat ride or not... Who's that?
February 10, 200521 yr 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. haha i get it...you're making fun of him...man thats some thick sarcasm man. wtf, i estimated my Holiday World Rides, and roughly on the Opry, and really assumed on the SFKK, but i know my PKI EXACT! 24 is my track count, Racer does not count, it is one theme, Deuling Dragons, would only count as one for me. 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!
February 10, 200521 yr 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.
February 13, 200521 yr Since neither ride is a roller coaster, they are both flat rides. Have a great day! Italian Chef
February 13, 200521 yr 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.
February 13, 200521 yr 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.
February 14, 200521 yr First of one of them isn't even in service so we can place that in the junk pile AT is a flat ride
