Well, we all want the feature that shows us what reviews were updated, but since we don't have that yet why not just create a thread to use for the time being? I myself want to see what reviews have been updated, and this would be a good way to do it. When you update a review, just post in here what ride it was, and maybe even link to the page.

Tonight I have updated my reviews for:

- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- Gemini
- E.T.
- Space Mountain
- Magnum XL-200
- Top Thrill Dragster

Sometimes I just put a comment after my updated review but this is also a good idea. Course if I wasn't such a computer tool I could learn how to pull my up with those little green letters. I would be happy to learn.

Yeah I was going to simply add a comment too, but not everyone always checks that side bar all the time. And since we constantly comment on each others reviews you may miss it. You won't miss this topic.

When I did this a yeat ago I was "flaunting" or being an "exhibitionist" but it doesn't bother me. But anyways the updated reviews are all-around great. Nice to see you with a newfound attention to this site

c-05, here's how you do it:
1. Update the review
2. Go find the review on the rides page, and click the little yellow comments tab.
3. Copy the page's address in the bar at the top
4. Come here, insert a link, paste the address into the first window (pressing the control button and then the c button works well), click ok and then enter the text to be displayed in the link.

Simply pasting the address in the reply box is ok too, it will parse as a link so long as you leave the "http" part in.

Good reviews taco.

I'll give it a try. I re-did Alpengeist, my reigning #1.

Alpengeist

BTW, I don't see it as trying to bring attention to one's self, just trying to show a higher level of contrubution.

I had been meaning to do this for a while, but never seemed to get around to doing it. I guess I was just lazy. Well, I finally redid my Talon review. It is definately something that I had to redo.

More updates:

- Spiderman
- Incredible Hulk
- Back to the Future
- Ripsaw Fals

I tried updating King Kong, but you can't review defunct rides - which annoys me.

I think that Spiderman and the Hulk are both better rides than Mummy.

I went back and updated all my noobish Orlando reviews a few months ago, and recently I've redone my reviews for CP and Kennywood.

Well too bad this isn't a thread to discuss that in!

I didn't even notice that Hulk was behind Montu until you mentioned it. Four more great updates

I went to update some of my reviews today, and boy was I surprised. Alot of my reviews from last year were terribly put together. I have a LOT of work to do.

I changed my Hypersonic XLC (I should go back and take points off for that dumb name) review a while back.

http://themeparkcritic.com/scripts/ReviewComments/ReviewComments.asp?RideID=279&ReviewID=33853

I updated my S:ROS review because of a shift in my top ten caused by riding Apollo's Chariot last week:
http://themeparkcritic.com/scripts/ViewRide.asp?RideID=494

I've also revised my ratings by adding .5's where necessary and corresponding score descriptions. For example, 8.5 (Great-Approaching Excellent), 9 (Excellent), 2 (Horrible), 6 (Slightly Above Average) etc.

Yeah I know it's a little overboard, but it helps me nail down the ratings. I'm a stats guy I can't help it.

hello.

over the last couple of weeks i re-wrote my kennywood coaster reviews. although my reviews are generally pretty long, these in particular seemed overwrought and somehow didn't capture my feelings about kennywood properly. so here's my re-reviews:

I re-wrote my Predator review. That coaster deserved a more in-depth review.
