General / Off-Topic RCTWorld General Discussion

When I think of 6 flags I just think of their parks and the creepy old guy that was on tv adds.

Didn't that guy...err, officially pass away too a few years ago? ._. But I do apply that kind of recognition when I think of them, along with the song. (Forgot the name) But to this day I really wanna know what their involvement was, if any.
 
This might be just as off topic, but it's always bewildered me how Six Flags advertises. I mean, yeah the dancing old "guy" was a funny gimmick for a while, but Six Flags owns the themepark rights to Superman, Batman, and the rest of the DC comics characters. Other than naming their roller coasters after some heroes and villains, the DC characters seem completely underutilized and unrepresented in the Six Flags parks--my favorite example is Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. It is arguably the most boring coaster in the park with almost no Batman themeing at all. I'm serious. The only way you'd know the ride was supposed to be Batman is the sign at the front of the queue line. Maybe being a fan of the RCT genre (and Batman, come on) makes me extra critical of this.

But on the other hand, I feel like Disney absolutely "gets it" (they wasted no time introducing more Star Wars and Marvel into their parks and they're already moving forward with the Guardians of the Galaxy ride) while Six Flags is still trying to cash in on Space Jam with the Looney Toons.

Oh and the other thing with Six Flags? They release roller coasters every year that purposefully break records... and yet you never hear about it unless you're specifically looking that kind of stuff up or you're already at the park and in line for the new ride (which has happened to me multiple times).

Of course, I haven't been to every Six Flags park so it's likely that my opinion is skewed by my limited experience. Maybe some other Six Flags parks do a much better job at utilizing their character rights than the ones I've been to, and maybe things have changed since I was last at a those parks and I sound like an old fogey stuck in 2015.

So anyway, I guess my point is that Six Flags seems confused about advertising so I'm not surprised if they're still fully committed to RCTW.

So don't know if you all got the email, RCTW forums will be down this weekend for maintenance. Is this the cleanse?

Do you think the forum/website overhaul is for the impending release date? Who thinks after the weekend is done the website with show a release date?
 
The cleanse, dear me. Bet they wish they had never said that.

Hmm hardware and software upgrades, don't companies normally do that when they get more users? Not less!

I envision a No Mans Sky fiasco where the Devs go in hiding and the scathing reviews pour in. Let the joyous news be spread the wicked old Atari witch is dead!!!

No, no. The cleanse is here. I got banned until 12/716

Perhaps because I posted these videos in the Update 13 speculation thread?

Did you really get banned?

If you did that's plain ridiculous anyone with an ounce of sense looking at you history you gave this game the best shot possible, when a lot of people gave up you were still there making videos showing them bugs.

It's stuff like this banning you that is why Atari are like a disease killing themselves from the inside.
 
And because I just can't resist the temptation for a Ric Roll here is what at least ONE person on that side of the pond is singing (DISCLAIMER: The name of the party has been removed...Though for the death of me I can't recall his name...)

Yeah, it's true.

That's Ok. It's for the better of the 8 remaining regular posters.

Won't stop me from making comparison videos. I just haven't had the desire to even open the game.

My history is history. I've really had nothing to offer RCTW, as it's really had nothing to offer me. [bored]

The banning was indeed for those two videos. LOL That's great!

Wow, that's a shame - for them. How sad, you gave it such a determined effort for so long. In the end, those videos are about the nicest, calmest and politest way you could have made your point!

It's very sad to see the way they take such a simplistic approach - towards people. Guess they never really understood the human element in this project from the start though. and for once, I'm not referring to the peeps.
 
Watching the beta dev stream for PC...beautiful wooden coasters(hybrid!), log flumes, water rapids, triggered lights, sounds, animatronics and effects...
