Ride-a-thon 3/1 PRIZE IS BAR STOOL POLE! MERGED

[Sugar]

Finally we know why they are taking away character titles!

To have Capt-Jack-Sparrow and CaptJackSparrow in our ride-a-thons!

Oh good grief, I hope tomorrow's prize is NOT the stool seat. That could literally trigger the end of VMK. If VMK gives away items that Disney has sold, with the implied, if not express representation that what they were selling were exclusive, VMK might get sued in a class action for all those pin boxes they sold. If that happens, I could see Disney pulling the plug on VMK. What in the world are they thinking? Giving away something that they induced people to pay money for?

Although I TOTALLY get what you are saying here, I'm sure Disney would say they sold the PINS and the card came free with the purchase...

Well, change the prize to some pirate loot and I'll think harder

I've yet to have the REAL ride break down while we've been on it....

• You see, it's happened to me twice.
  
• And the fact that people wait a LONG time only to find that the ride has broken down and will undergo maintenance for the next couple hours.
  
• And also keep in mind (in DLR), you can either go in the Left Queue or the Right Queue. Usually, one queue is faster than the other.

Thus, the ride-a-thon is very much like the real ride.

Read through the quotes above. If you can get what's so funny, you win a cookie.

I said almost like the real ride, because I usually get stuck just after the prison scene, and not the skeleton cavern

Good point. That's a bit of trouble for Disney

By the way, I just saw you in-game, and you came third in a steamboatpete look-a-like contest?

No... way...

Yummy! I hope it is filled with lots of LAG

Lines are moving slower now for me...

I laugh at a five-minute wait!

It's a shame for the people who paid actual dough to get the pole, but I think Disney is covered. The bottom of each card says in small print "Subject to restrictions and change without notice." Personally I'm not bothered by it as I think it levels the playing field item-wise more, but if I had spent hundreds of dollars on pins I may have felt differently (all of mine were gifts ).

I just got back from job interviews and am in line. All of this is so exciting! Wasn't too keen on yet another Pirates month, but this may win me over yet.

I absolutely adore the virtual ride. Bella did a wonderful job. I especially love the queue with the island. She has us entering and exiting the ride through the same room, just like the real ride. Too cute.

I also love the dog by the jail. And the shack and the restaurant. And the way she did the waterfalls. Actually, it's just fantastic overall.

 

[Jasonbobdude]

In my opinion this has the best rooms of any ride-a-thon. I'd love to see them remake more rides like this on VMK.

 

[Belle1997]

okay have crashed 5 times, been 30 to get into next room, the lag is so bad you can not move in the first room. And fin comes in and wants to boot to keep room moving. Which makes sense untl the net group can not move,

The exit room at dock no start piece so can not finish ride if stuck. AHHHHHHH

I am sure tomorrow bella will hve made some changes.

 

[Belle1997]

I too think the rooms are awesome Bella gets two thumbs up for all her work

'Kay, well East is going VERY slow.

EDIT:

Sorry, it's PhotoBucket, but a pic with the water fountain and trash can.

Ride design rooms like this one where you have to walk though them are poor designs, we know this from past events. Some people refuse to move through the paths and clog up the paths, other people stand in the way of the ride starts and block them with their body parts so you can't click on the ride to start.

I just wish they could remember these things from one event to the next.

Also blocking the doorways to room with walls between the door and the ride is really lame design.

A little longer tracks in room would allow the room to load before kicking you out the door to the next room (that is if you manage to get on the ride in the first place)

Pitures of old & new items used in the ride a thon :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

I like the new items, but think the trash cans are strange in a virtual game.
We have no litter to put in them. But I hope you can build with them.
Now all we need is virtual bathroom doors.

 

[cat_herder]

I saw him twice and he didn't say anything.

He should say something like "drink up me hearties".

 

[cat_herder]

Great. I just got booted so they could close the room after waiting an hour. Okay, I'm taking a break.

It you read the room description they all say "the wait line is 5 minutes from here". And we all know that is a lie. LOL
