The new Space Ride pieces are cool. The Teleporters, the new posts, the switches, you can see through the up/down pieces, you float above the track, they're all REALLY COOL.

I just don't get the switch doors. They just seemed to cause problems Friday. Since they are only open for 30 seconds you have to open them at the right time. If a lot of people are going through you can't see the symbols to click and they get blocked when people get knocked off unless you elevate them. Are you going to use them?
 
I know I won't be using them. People seem to hate them with a passion and no one will want to go on a ride that annoys them.

I agree hopeless.

PS--i sent you a PM.
 
I'll be using them to keep people OUT. I guess the only good thing of them is to discourage the rogue rider when you're building for the ride a thon.
 

I might be using them if I build a ride. My recommendation is to use them on an alternate path, so people that like to tourcher themselves can switch over to that track. The default path stays straight through no obsticles. On the otherhand if your looking for 3 mickeys, make it the only option in your launch room and bingo you have a bunch of people standing there trying to get through the doors. Not good for repeat riders though.
 
Maybe players can use them in there games.. you know like a race and you go through those doors, adding something new to game play
 
I noticed today that the Blue start used to have 4 paths with the Switch doors, they took one out so if you use the switch you can avoid having to open the door.

EDIT: They put the Switch door back for Blue start.

Yes, I like the credit turnstiles, too.

But I'm setting mine to zero .
