For their anniversary, will they blow up the f*cking arm?

I'm having a bit of a problem hating someone who does something like this.

Visible Alex Mojo! It must've been hard for you to type like that. Heh.

Seriously Alex, stick in the mud aside - everyone else in the world thinks that ride is among the top 3 on the planet. Why should we believe you? Having never ridden it, it totally intrigues me that you sould way it was semi-lame. I think you're around just to be the 5th dentist that doesn't recommend Crest. There always has to be some dissent.

Could be, and I'll admit that it might just be a product of me not generally enjoying my day at Islands of Adventure. Maybe on a different day in a different mood I would have sploojed all over the ride vehicle at my amazement.

You shouldn't believe me, that's why I told iSm he should definitely see it for himself.

Movie based motion simulator rides (and this is just a complex one), just don't appeal to me. They don't appeal to me at the mall, they don't appeal to me in Tomorrowland, one didn't appeal to me at Islands of Adventure.

It is already hard enough for a ride to "thrill" me with things that are really there. Shaking the car while a projected image of Spider-Man lands on the hood just doesn't do anything for me. It is part of the reason roller coasters don't excite me, I never feel like I'm at real risk and without that, falling is boring. Going fast, but in an entirely controlled environment, is boring.

Other people, obviously, have a easier time getting into the excitement of such things


lolz

He also doesn't like the design of the new mustang which has been heralded as a huge success and has generated a dramatic increase in sales volumes. Poor Alex and his bad taste.

:evil:

NirvanaMan 02-01-2007 05:50 PM

I for one would like to see Alex and iSM have a Curmudgeon-off.

Sunday Sunday Sunday...one night only. You'll pay for the whole seat....but you'll only need the eeeeeedge.

Also featuring Truck-o-saurus.

Alex 02-01-2007 08:04 PM

Actually, I just threw the Mustang into that list for poking effect. I'm indifferent to the new Mustangs. They make me think of Camaros.

innerSpaceman 02-01-2007 09:37 PM

Oh pulease, I bow to the master of curmudgeonality, in whose wake I am but a grumpy pepple of disipledom. I doubt I will ever obtain Alex's stature, no matter how many times I say the magic word, "Bah."

Yes, very very class act. I am impressed, and moved.

(But he still needs to get his head out of his ass about DCA.)



And, hmmm, I was gonna download a ride-thru video of Spider-Man, but if there's a cheap trip to Florida in my future ... I guess I'll just wait and see which camp I'm in.

(I'm generally a fan of theme park rides, so I've a feeling I'll like it. Whether I will be blown-away impressed is yet to be seen. But I won't be curmudgeonly just for the sake of it.)

BarTopDancer 02-01-2007 09:45 PM

Well it can't be much worse than "I'm so sad! That ride SUCKED!"

CoasterMatt 02-01-2007 09:50 PM

Just look for the 400 ft. tall green penis, it's like a Hidden Mickey, only phallic.
