13	lil_kim2005 Sat 5/17/2008 7:37a	I was enough of a douche not to read the calendar properly and it closed at 7 pm.. when I went yesterday! Thanks so much for all your help (uk fan and everyone else), I finally went do DLP and had a blast with my friends! My main impression was that DLP pays a lot of attention to detail. I was disappointed that BTMR was closed yesterday due to technical difficulties, and I did NOT enjoy Space Mountain, and Indy was kinda lame... I guess I have high expectations! But I loved the park as a whole and it was more than worthwhile. =)

15	davewasbaloo Sat 5/17/2008 10:21a	Probably because it feels like you have gone several rounds in a heavy weight championship after racing nascar over rumble strips.
16	smedley Sat 5/17/2008 10:42a	I don't ride it for just that reason Dave, my neck won't stand up to the stress, and I can get away with riding most of the coasters..
17	Spirit of 74 Sat 5/17/2008 12:17p	Space Mountain, as much as I love it, is just too plain rough. It's the kind of attraction that can cause health problems and not exacerbate existing ones. It really needs to be worked on, even if it means rebuilding the track. It isn't surprising that it's been ignored by Karl, however, as that's just the kind of manager he is. All one has to do is look at the state of the Treehouse and the dangers it presents to guests to understand that guest safety hasn't been one of Karl's major concerns.
18	X-san Sat 5/17/2008 4:32p	Wow. What a bunch of wussies. :p I come from the day when coasters were SUPPOSED to be rough. The old whiplasher at Paragon Park in New England would leave you as battered as Mike Tysons girlfriend, likely complete with a bloody ear (or two)! Now I REALLY wanna ride it. :D

But the roughness, the killing of the style, theme and music, it is virtually a walk on these days. A real shame. In it's hey day, I would be known to litterly keep getting in line and riding for an hour. I think my record was 23 trips in a row. But these days, once a trip is enough.
