Want to ride again, yet you hated it.

And a 5? Come on man....

Make up your mind...do you like it or not?

You have got to be kidding this is one of the smoothest coasters I have ever been on.

come on all - he gave it a 5 because he almost got sick. not everyone has the same experience on every ride. Causing one to get sick is a good reason for a 5 He never said it wasnt smooth. He sounds like he wants to ride it again and when he does (hopefully on an empty stomach), he may get the urge to ride and ride again and change his rating. Sounds like he wants to ride again because he knows he had a good experience and it can be better

A "5" because YOU got sick. Mission Space messed me up for 30 minutes but it got a "10" because it deserved a "10" my inability to handle the ride isnt the rides fault.

larrygator- its she but thats ok... i DID eat a lot before i actually went on it, so that might have been a facor. and i got really scared of the seats because im used to seeing the shoulder seats. if anyone has a problem with that, good for them. i personally dont care if i rated it a ten or not. apparently you do tho...
edks2330 on 8/16/2004 12:22:41 PM said:
well im going on it next year and i may change my mind. and seriously, why would anyone care if apollos chariot got a 5 rating from me?

I have never been on AC, but what Ive read it has some pretty big drops and lots of airtime, probably not the best coaster to pick as your very first one. Maybe you should start out with something a little less intense and build up as the day progresses, that might help with motion sickness.

Dont review it until u get the chance to actually enjoy it. Ull like it, i know u will, the ride is perfect.

I saw looking through the reviews that some idiot named booty was the only other person to give it less then a 7

Call me crazy, but I actually have more respect for coasters that I cant handle. Although I wasnt sick to my stomach on any coasters at BGW, Alpengeist definitely gave me the feeling that I might die at any moment, so it definitely gets a 9 from me. I dont give out 10s yet because no ride is absolutely perfect in my view. AC was much more controlled but is still a great coaster in my view for so many reasons. I am still a novice and wasnt even familiar with the term "airtime" until after I rode AC, so I was on it thinking, "What is this strange feeling of euphoria I am experiencing? It must have a name." HAHAHA!

I only have 1 comment to say and that is your review really sucks.
mrceagle on 6/14/2005 2:47:28 PM said:
Because a 5 indicates that the ride is only average. if it was intense enough to make you want tothrow up perhaps this is more then an average coaster.

hey look its another dumbass anonymous person,you probably fell asleep because you were all druged up,just like u were tuesday,june 14 2005 at 11:43 P.M.
mrceagle on 6/15/2005 10:41:16 AM said:
Most likly. we need to see if we can stop IP logs on at least ride reviews.
fergusonat on 6/15/2005 11:56:57 AM said:
I honestly dont think you gave the ride a fair shot with this review...you got sick because you ate right before it. Anyone, other than we hardcore coaster-riders, would get shaken up a bit under those kind of conditions. I agree with Waitj786, the ride is perfect... Next time, dont do anythign that might take away from the experience!!!
mrceagle on 6/15/2005 12:04:04 PM said:
I gree you really need to give the ride a chance before bashing it.
fergusonat on 6/15/2005 12:08:53 PM said:
She didnt even really bash it...she admitted that she got sick because she ate right before it. If she had done the same thing before riding her favorite coaster, she might have hated that particular ride. Its not Apollos Chariots fault that she cant ride with a full stomach
fergusonat on 6/15/2005 3:23:06 PM said:
Wow...calling BGW a junkyard, thats quite humorous
mrceagle on 6/15/2005 4:21:00 PM said:
I admit Bashing was a harsh word.
therock on 6/15/2005 9:09:15 PM said:
Anonymous, why are you so negative? You are allowed to dislike rides and parks, but there is a more intelligent way to voice your opinion. I recently joined this site thinking that it was a constructive forum, but your comments seem to have no other purpose than to be ostentatious. Am I missing something?
FLA8 on 6/15/2005 9:34:46 PM said:
because anonymous is some stupied person thats to stupied to join the site(and hopefully doesent)Im sure this is the same guy that posted on the other AC review too.Like i said before no one cares about your hate for BGW so please leave.
fergusonat on 6/15/2005 10:41:19 PM said:
Yeah, I agree.....we need intelligent people here. Anyone with half a brain would realize, if not the basic thrill that Apollos Chariot offers, the shear quality of the ride. Its hard to deny it
therock on 6/16/2005 9:40:56 AM said:
Ill be the first to admit that Apollo scared me, and I have little concern that this makes me not as "cool" or "macho" as Anonymous. Perhaps Anaonymous just has thicker skin than I do. Thats not the problem. The problem is that the communication skills are not there. I have an MBA and work in a professional environment and am used to intelligent dialogue, not senseless bashing merely to degrade the good experiences of others. Thanks to the rest of you for the great comments, and the intelligent conversation.

I have been with this site for many years. I admit that my spelling is pore and the gramer worse but I have been posters come and go. Trust in my when I say he is a rare problem on this site. No mater where you go you always have some one needed to start a problem. he likes the atention. Best we can do is try not to let things get under your skin and just be honist with yourself and to the reviews you post. that is what has maid this site so great. eventually the few that are thre only ro start problems get weeded out. In the long run things will settle back down and show there true face.
fergusonat on 6/16/2005 2:45:39 PM said:
Things will settle down faster if we get rid of the anonymous posting! Only members should be allowed to post. Its free to register...so its not like anyone will be kept from posting if they really want to. And if this Anonymous guy joins, it most likely wont be long until he is banned.....there problem solved
mrceagle on 6/16/2005 3:01:29 PM said:
I agree that the IP posts should be restricted. at least lock them out from review comments. I woudl lest the admin forums open so that sugestions can be maid. and perhaps a gemeral park question area so that people can ask about parks but not have to join.
mrceagle on 6/17/2005 11:34:29 AM said:
For starters give th elanguage a brack there are forems set aside for this. we try to keep this a clean site. Also many of us understand that there are many people posting an anonymos but what wewant if people brave enough to voice there opinion and not hide behind the IP posts.
therock on 6/20/2005 12:36:12 PM said:
Yes, mrceagle, I agree with you. I dont like coming to a discussion forum and being referred to with vulgar cursing. I understand that this person is just trying to see how much he can get under our skin, and thinks that is fun, but please lay off on the cursing.
fergusonat on 6/20/2005 12:43:55 PM said:
It seems that the foul-mouthed Anonymous that was posting around the 16th is a different Anonymous than the more familiar Anonymous that has been plaguing this site lately...
