New S&S site... total crap

It looks to me like they used FLash to make the graphics/animations, yet exported in .gif format.... ugh...

rcthemepark obviously has one of those new 120k modems, because he's able to download 1.2 meg files in 10 seconds. At least make plausible lies.

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

Its working fine for me, if thats the problem.

Yeah, that's pretty awful. I'm on a pretty powerful cable modem, and that introduction schlop was a jumpy, bumpy animation mess. Then it just hung and said it was loading, with this ugly white-orange-black fractured-looking globe thing in the center bottom of the screen. What a negative way to greet interested visitors.

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.
-----------------

What I meant was that you can open it with software (NOT Flash) which will uncompile it so you CAN edit it. I didn't meant you can just play it with Flash Player.

Sure, the little intro thing takes a long time to load, but just click on the enter button and the rest of the website runs great. Not a big deal by any means. I'm sure that there are lots of other things to complain about. Tell me where I'm wrong.

What about the 500 some kilobyte graphic on the "Ride Locations" page? That does not run great. And load times are not the only problem, the website in general looks pretty bad. Many pages on the site approach 100 kilobytes. It might not sound bad to you, but it can take quite a while for someone on a slow connection.

I have a pretty slow connection but had no such problems. Weird.

About the site-

Loaded pretty fast on my cable modem, but i can see where slower users would have problems.

The SS ride Snow Shot doesn't look like a winner to me.I was just never into those Grand Prix type rides that contain nothing but speed.

Some internet mumbo jumbo......How great is the performance difference between Dsl's, cable modem, and T-1?.....Thanks
