 Review of Dollywood Express @ Dollywood
-3 Rating Posted by: TPOLMike on 12/22/2004 9:23:00 AM
It was a very nice and relaxing ride, but I have never been too fond of trains. Overall though I would say it is one of the better trains around.

Well, could you go a little more into detail about why you only gave an 8?

See, this really confuses me. I will post the text of your Disneyland Railroad review:

"
This is a great way to take a break from your busy day at the park and to see the park. The scenes are alright, they could be updated, but they were fantastic back in their day."


You gave this train a 9, and I dont mind that at all. It looks like a good train as well, with an authentic steam engine. The trains themselves look good, and I cant really argue your opinion, but looking at the train and your statement that the scenery is outdated, not to mention I KNOW that the Disneyland Train does not have nearly as good of a setting. In fact, there probably isnt a better setting for a train in a theme park in this country. Dollywoods setting will be hard to beat. Never been to fond of trains... yet you give this one an 8 because its "one of the better trains around", while you give the Disney one a 9, and no mention that it is "the best Ive ever been on" or "better than Dollywoods"... giving it an 8 is still a good rating, yet it drops it from the top, and normally, without a more in-depth look at the reviewer, the review and similar reviews, you would have got away with it. However, until you respond and really defend your assertions (and proving to me that you have been on the ride would be a major plus), Im going to have to give you a bad rating. Please, respond, and elaborate on why it deserves an 8... and update your ride tracker so that your reviews are more credible.

I am fine with this review, I dont agree with it, but it is not a bad review. He should update his traker though, as I find it funny that this is the only ride he has reviewed for Dollywood.

You are correct, its not a bad review, but his reasoning is akward. Some further explanations could easily result in my moving the slider back to the "neutral" position. The fact that its the only Dollywood ride did raise a bit of suspicions, but he has been pacing his reviews (not posting a ton at once). I just want more of a reply, and hopefully, a few comments will get such a response. Its always like this with any of the top rides, especially the number one ride, just look at the reviews of Skooters from last spring... anything below a 10 was questioned, and for example, just look at coaster 05s review, which was given a bad rating (Im not accusing anyone though...) though he provided support for his 7. Even the person who gave them a 9 got a "bad", so it happens, especialy with rides at the top... I just want more reasoning, because of the contrast between this train and the Disneyland train.

I guess some people just cant stand that a non-coaster ride had a 10.00 rating.

I personally dont mind a non-coaster getting a perfect 10.00 but...... thats my opinion!
