i dont know exactly why but i want to give praise to the whole WDW theme parks in Florida. it hit me hard today that the walt disney parks have set the standard for theme parks.
here why i say this. i just got back from a long day at at six flags new england, a respected name in the theme park world. the parks was clean and well staffed. but the rides were in need of more than paint. there was rust on alot of the iron work, paint was falling from huts and unless it was a newer ride it wasnt working at peak performance. most if not all the coasters i rode only had one set of cars running. the other cars were sitting over to the side with cover on them for repair. the wooden coaster i rode when it can to the end of the track and the brakes got applied i felt the back of my car lift OFF the track and send a jolt right to my back when it went back down.(wooden coasters dont have the wheels to lock it down to the track like the RRC) i dont pretend to be a rocket scientist but i did feel it lift off the track and i cant imagine thats good for the car or track. also one of the biggest areas i personally had a problem with is my size. i am a solid 320 lbs. but i run and workout so theres more then just fat here. NONE of the rides at six flags accomodated my big butt:shrug: i got to ride all of the ones i wanted but it took a crowbar to get me out(figurativley). disney rides i have never felt sqished except for space mountain, but i can live with that.
i know it really isnt fair to compare disney to six flags but o well! it cost about the same to get into six flags because of parking and tickets and i would much rather spend it on disney. so to finish my praise up i wanna thank any one who is working for disney that reads this. you have maintained the best theme park in the country to standards few can meet. thanks again and i hope to see you there some time the january........with any luck
