New S&S site... total crap

I'm not philisophically opposed to Flash at all. Quite the contrary. When it's used right, I think it's fabulous. (I'm a Heavy.com fan.) The thing is, even that site with its graphic intensity could've been more effective, or rather, less bandwidth intensive, with a lot of tweaking.

I don't know... what gets me so irritated by sites like this is that some amateur got paid for this. I'd like to be getting paid for that sort of thing instead of having to work for "the man."

The man should be working for me. ;)

Boy that site sure does suck. It just plain sucked. It was the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

I spend a few minutes on the site, and came to that conclusion.

Bake 'em away toys.

You can open a .swf with the right software.

You can open an .swf file with Flash.

Yes thats right, but whats the point? you can't edit it unless it's a .fla, you my as well open it in an ordinary flash player.

Suckage .. anyone notice the AI wasn't on the site under rides. Woner if they aren't going to be making that attraction anymore.

Same as him, cept I got a 196 MHz P chip....err.

Anyways, I don't know why you're all having probs...oh well.

G's and helices. G's and helices. That's what I love! Formerly SFMMan.

I checked it out at home with my cable modem and my 500mhz G3 (for those who don't know, 500mhz for a G3 is not the same as a Pentium chip), and I got it to come up. And it still sucks.

Doesn't it seem as though morons always have the caps lock on?

I can imagine if someone else posted something like this. It'd be closed in about 2 seconds. The website looks fine. Quit complaining.

-----------------

Does it look fine if you have a 56k modem? No. Do the majority of internet users still dial up? Yes.

Maybe you disagree, rcthemepark36, but I don't care much to wait 10 minutes for the main page to load. If they wish to have a huge GIF (and lord knows why they would make such a choice) then they should give users the option to not view it, like many graphic-intensive sites do.

DSL here and that is pretty lame. Very unprofessional from an otherwise excellent company. They should get their money back unless it was done inhouse (which is certainly possible given the evidence).

rcthemepark36: Blow it out your crapper. No one has done you any harm.

I don't know if it is because I got *too* much sleep last night... or the lack of coffee this morning... but Jeff...when I read *Blow it out your crapper* I started giggling and now I can't stop. It just struck me funny and now everyone at work is looking at me weird! Oh good times good times.

There is NoLimit when it comes to Roller Coasters.

If you think that's funny you should see how I responded to someone who wanted to know how to look at a satellite photo of Cedar Point over on GTTP... ;)

Too funny, Jeff, tooo funny... ROFLMAO

Posting, "Me too" like some brain dead AOLer. I ought to to the world a favor, and cap you like old yeller...

Someone needs to let S&S's webmaster that it is DornEy Park, not DornAy park... Look under ride locations!

-----------------
over 100 coasters in the works this year for me to ride... YES!

Well, the website took me about 10 seconds to load today. I don't see what the big deal is. Hmmmm......blow it out your crapper......good one.
