>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?
/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.

huh, looking at the actual emperor's groove rollercoaster scene, there really isn't that much visually interesting going on, seems pretty basic so it would be weird to make a whole ride based on something this brief and visually dull, it's a funny gag not a blueprint for an actual ride

For a Disney Adult that would probably be an honor. I learned today that The Haunted Mansion is one of the most popular places in the world for people to spill their ashes. It’s so common they even have a code for it, they call it “Code Grandma.” To the Disney Adult, the supreme honor in life is to have your body burnt and then spilled onto a children’s ride, only to then be vacuumed up by a severely stoned 16 year old

It really is. I've ridden several wild river gorge rides but you're unlikely to get completely drenched on any of them, except Popeye's, where it's all but inevitable.
I also wondered why both water rides were walk-ons last Sunday when the park was packed. It was 70 degrees out which didn't seem to me that cold. Well 4 hours later my t-shirt was still wet, so I guess that's why.

I wonder how much longer Rougarou has. It's been 10 years since the floorless conversion and that only gave it a short lived boost in popularity, it's one of the few Cedar Point coasters no one seems to like. Not sure how long the trains last on those but I bet when the time comes that the park has to think about buying new trains they may decide it's not worth it and remove it.

I found out today that more childless adults now visit Disney than children and families. That is depressing AF. On the bright side, since Disney adults don’t have kids, I guess that means they will just be a passing phenomenon as they gradually die out

Going to a park purely to publicly signal support for a political ideology or sexuality is fucking retarded

Issue is it incentivizes corporations to press on the government to massively increase immigration which is part of how we got in this mess to begin with. Parks require a steady population increase year over year to drive their long term profitability and do not give a fuck if the money they receive comes from an American or an "American". Disney adults are closer to being your people than the mexigoblins who pump out 3 kids they financially offset with EBT. The solution that actually improves the nation is "disney adults" growing up and having kids of their own and the government doing whatever it can to incentivize that and make it as easy as possible.

Really well said anon. Agree 100%. They need to hurry up bc soon Disney Adults will be too old to even have kids (at least the women)

It does look like a plain old B&M looper, just scaled up. The parcel of land it's on isn't that big, but it's not tiny either. I can see Iron Dragon and Gemini sticking around longer than Rougarou, hopefully anyway. Both of those are still fun rides.

>Corporations aren't pressing the government for more immigrants
Yes they are. They overwhelmingly support candidates that flood the nation with low-skill workers and consumers.
>And Mexico's birth rate is well below replacement so you can stop scapegoating their women.
23% of all foreign-born people in America are of Mexican origin and 59% of those receive some form of government assistance. Numbers aren't on your side.

Everywhere gets hot and humid in the summer, esp in the South… I can’t speak for the other parks, but Busch Gardens is very shaded with lots of big trees and goes out of its way with fans and misters everywhere (they’re actually kinda known for it). There’s also lots of stores/ restaurants/ shows/ etc if you get too hot.

If anyone experienced it or has opinions of this ride outside the Disney Adult sphere, I am interested
Was Journey Into Your Imagination (the 1999-2001 version) really as bad as people were saying as one of the top 3 worst Disney attractions ever, or were people just assblasted they removed Figment and made an entirely different attraction?

Nice job cutting off the rest of that sentence, retarded chud. Concession accepted.

I tried out the current ride for the first time in my life 4 weeks ago, and it was definitely the second lamest ride of the trip only beat my Minions Villain-con. The room with all of the Figments to be kinda alright from not expecting so many animatronics in one scene, but it probably only stood out when compared to the rest of the ride..
So if the previous version didn't even have THAT, I can absolutely believe it was worse. But I never rode that one or the OG so I can't say, which also means I have 0 nostalgia for it or Figment.

The rest of the sentence was fucking irrelevant so I ignored it. All major corporations support globalism and mass immigration. Bloated populations of consumer cattle are very much in their financial interests. Disney, being a corporation, loves immigration. They were behind the altering of the travel visa system Obama did to flood the parks with Brazilians in the winter months. They also all support mass influxes of H1-bs to undercut pay for American-born workers. Fuck you
>And just completely dodging Mexican women's low birthrate. Another concession accepted.
Again, irrelevant. They tether themselves to the US by having kids here then expect the """american citizen""" they gave birth to to anchor them here. Fuck you again.
Take your faggot libtard ass somewhere else.

>Oh the big kids' rides aren't fun anyway. That's why I don't get on them. And I know they wouldn't be fun at all. Now, I'm not afraid of them it's just they don't have theming and that's really important to me plus they're not scary in the first place, at all

Isn’t it kinda weird that I think Mario Kart could’ve been reworked into being Mario Galaxy, Luigi’s mansion, or some other Mario ip?
As someone who rode it, my own mother is always super confused about what is going on and I think the whole shell system is kinda wildly limiting by how confusing it is at many instances on when I gain them, ran out of them, and what enemies give me coins or not. The system makes the majority of enemies worthless besides the koopalins and the bowser boss stages.
I think the ride system itself is pretty good and offers a good amount of intensity I get from Gringotts’ back car when it’s moving from the transitions, making those rough and swingy turns. The system worked better than it did in MIB and the Cat in the Hat. It’s just when it’s implemented into a shooter, it always feels really intense regardless of how slow they try to make it be.
Likewise, I find the constant and drastic transitions kinda wild most of the time by how randomized it all feels. That I would prefer something like Luigi’s mansion just for the gameplay alone so everything will feel less distracting and everything would be far more clear in what I’m supposed to do.
And it doesn’t help that in most of the land, it’s always really flashy and filled to the brim with highly interactive elements that I would’ve preferred the more laid back Mario Galaxy as an experience for the main attraction of SNW. It would’ve shown off similar elements that couldn’t have been given to SNW’s main hub in a very different and less noisy experience. And the line could’ve moved a lot quicker if they didn’t have to juggle it up with the AR.

I've ridden all three versions It made the ride worse, I've only vague memories from the differences between that and the newest version, felt they made figment pretty annoying when they added him back in. But then I also wasn't that butthurt by the removal of the dreamfinder, giving that area a unified theme to go with the Honey I shrunk the Audience made a lot of sense.

I think it is next to go but has awhile, probably half a decade at least
Six Flags has far bigger fish to fry right now before more Cedar additions. Even after they get the Enchanted Parks split off Cedar is one of the parks they need to focus on the least on rebuilding or adding attractions to

The parks that make the most typically get the most. They can't afford not to put in new rides at CP for very long. I think managers have looked at the ride's future maintenance schedule (as they do for all rides) and reviewed how much they will need to spend on it and what the ride really does for the park... It's not much and they know it.
Some of the older coasters that seem short on time might not be. Iron Dragon, Gemini, and the mine train are all mild to moderate thrills and have low height requirements, so they check off boxes for families and kids' first "real" coasters. They're pretty simple too, which keeps their annual maintenance costs within reason.
Rougarou is a straight up extreme thrill ride but it isn't popular or unique. I imagine they have already master planned its retirement based around upcoming maintenance intervals. When the current trains get worn out and need replacement (just as an example) or some other major work will be needed, that will be the end of it imo. I doubt its annual maintenance costs are very high though, which is why I think its future is hinged upon the replacement of a major expense. Five years sounds about right, I would be surprised to see it depart in the next 2 or 3 seasons.

The shells need an auto-replenishment with a timer of however many seconds are balanced. It's shit when you go through all your shells too quickly and can't do anything to get more back at what appears to be arbitrary points.
It's a shame that the theming is actually pretty good during the ride, you just don't can't see it because you're focused on the AR stuff. Maybe at some point they'll tune it better.

How is Disneyland Paris so incapable of making anything approaching a good menu? I just don't get how they keep making really nicely themed places, then filling it with the most boring shit imaginable that's also terrible quality.
