I think he was being sarcastic. Most people know that he is nothing but a PR puppet (at least his posts on IG, don't want to comment on his actual work).

Speaking of, what actually are The Zack's design credits? He just kind of started showing up everywhere one day, but has he actually designed any of this stuff?

Fair warning - extreme corporate gobbledygook awaits once you enter that cave of wonders.

I mean... he was the graduate school valedictorian at one of the best architecture schools on the planet. So he's obviously wicked smaht.

To be clear, I'm laughing at the Bawston accent, not his achievements.

Wow. how do I get to the, "intersection of strategy, design and development"? Sounds like a great ride. If LL is offered, I'm definitely paying!

I'm sorry. The joke lines itself up too well not to make regardless of my thoughts on the box.

Yup, I’m a jaded coaster enthusiast, and it had been a long time since a coaster took my breath away, blew away my expectations, and completely knocked my socks off (5-7 years, when I rode my first RMC) but Veliciocoaster did. I’ve been on over 300 coasters, and it’s in my top 10 despite my preference for negative g hyper coasters. It is absolutely amazing.

His official title is “WDI Portfolio Executive” for WDW. I’m assuming that he kind of just reviews all the projects that go on at WDW? He just posted some spiel about Drawn to Life

The portfolio executives are the lead creative for their portfolio. Joe Rohde was Portfolio Executive for Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

At least Joe seemed to actually have some "hands-on" on AK projects. And, he wrote his own copy -- as far as we know. At least he has better copy writers than The Zach.

And it's not even my favorite coaster within 100 yards of it's location, to each their own. One isn't correct and one isn't incorrect.
Opinions are opinions, like Hagrids better eh? It was a very well themed ride, and I do love its “big event” but on a coaster level it goes down in the fun (and will ride whenever possible) but not amazing category. Without its theming I’m not sure I would still say that, strip Veliciocoaster of its theming and put it up Six Flags style (over a crumbling parking lot) it would still be very high on my list.

For me, Hagrids and VelociCoaster are the first and second best coasters I’ve ever been on, so, to me, your preference doesn’t discredit VelociCoaster, just shows how amazing Islands became in the last couple of years.

Exactly. The actual coaster itself is spectacular, and then it’s also themed! We were blessed.
I’ve found that you should always ride Hagrid’s before VelociCoaster on any given day. Doing the inverse makes Hagrid’s feel like a kiddie coaster. Harder to appreciate it after the beast that is VelociCoaster.
