Crazy Harry said:No, I didn't forget the point. Someone said el rio was underrated, someone else disagreed and I countered. It is after all a discussion board.
And I think that maybe attension should be changed to recognision. IMO I feel el rio is a much better attraction than people want to give it credit for. It is simplistically delightful.
I also feel it is a much better representation at the very least of the essense of the culture as opposed to the generalized idea maelstrom portrays.
I do however Hawker enjoy and respect your opinion, and am greatly anticipating a rebutle to my statements.
I'm just curious if trolls, vikings, and oil rigs accurately represent your culture. I feel they are merly aspects of your culture slapped together unintelagably (sp?). I also feel that Maestrom is the inferior attraction and will kindly give my reasoning.
1. The queue is highly uninteresting. It's a shame the unloading area is better imagined esspecially considering you spend less time there. Simply give people something to occupy their minds with aids in staving boredom.
2. It's way too short.
3. There are quite a few scenes after the drop which are passed by too quickly to enjoy.
4. There is obsolutely no transition between the scenes. This attraction lacks a cohesive or cronilogically assembled story.
I'm sure I can come up with other reasoning later. And now my reasons why el rio is better
1. Higher attension to detail.
2. There is no need for a good queue given the environment provides that atmospere by itself
3. It's longer.
4. It is cohesivly and inteligably assembled.
5. It appropriatly depicts the essence of the culture by representing it's many diverse aspects.
For those who do not agree, how would you change this attraction to more accuratley represent the culture.
For Maelstrom, I would either focus on one aspect such as viking heritage or norse mythology or simply represent certain aspects and evenly blend them together.
I actually rate maelstrom right there with el rio. I was stating that it was highly billed vs El Rio. If I was forced to pick one ride, I would pick maelstrom.
I am not well versed in mexican history, but I have visited many times. I think they could focus on the ancient history of mexicans, pre-spanish influence. That is what I found most interesting when I was there.
