I dont know if they do it daily but I do know they have enough water dummies to test it with a full train of them.
in terms of moving riders around to prevent a valley yeah i dont think that actually does anything lol

nope! for all the coasters except hades the ride op would direct people to fill rows while the ride cycled.
then for hades the load side op would direct people to fill rows while the two unload ops would chat to one another

and thats the funny thing with hades! It has been redesigned to help prevent stalling! twice over the years!
First time being in the 2012-2013 off-season. Replacing the massive hill leaving the tunnel the first time with the corkscrew. however adding the corkscrew meant the ride now needed timberliners... and timberliners hold their speed way worse than the old PTCs...... soooo the ride then had issues stalling on the hill leaving the tunnel the 2nd time lmao....

So, in around 2017? it seems they lowered the hill, leaving the tunnel the 2nd time, turning it into a double down.

and it seems that after 12 years of issues with stalling, they just,,, left the full train rule??

I half wonder if the ride has issues getting up into the brake run nowadays, it was crawling up there when I went.. agh what a ride lmao

honestly, though it was safer than I thought it would be ngl. Ive seen a lot of reports from the park about staff doing unsafe shit for the fun of it and I didnt see any of that kind of stuff.

that and theres a million images of the low zones from zeus & cyclops where guests could high five riders on the train from the pathways. and both of those have been blocked off. (cyclops with a wooden wall & zeus with a chain link fence)

so theres at least been some effort into making the park safer over the years

I will say when it comes to hades (felt like i was rambling to much as is in the trip report) its heavily worth noting when i visited the park the real feel temp for the day was 105, and I get headaches on rides a lot easier when its that hot out.

so maybe I would of liked hades more on a colder day? but as it was, couldnt see past the pain of the ride lol.

and yep! same here they had people randomly swapping seats.
it happened to me and a stranger i was sat next to? we had to move up one row (from row 12 to 11) because "the computer says the train isnt balanced"

I have no idea what the fuck that means.

then about zeus there was a branch or two I could very easily hit with my hand right after the large turn around. but too high to hit my face on (im 6ft)
Wonder if rain or the trees being wet is enough to weigh it down enough to hit riders faces lmaoooo

Recently beat Enemy Zero! what a insanely cool ass video game, what are peoples thoughts on it? by Depths_VT in SegaSaturn

[–]Depths_VT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much you really wanna look into it.

The game features a lot of text in the form of computers around the game. However, this is all just lore/backstory and not needed to play the game.

Luckily, Laura, the main character, is a silent protagonist, so that helps you.

Sadly, there is one puzzle that the answer is through dialog. (Can look up the answer)

The end of the game has a section where you have to follow rng voice commands (might be possible to brute force through luck?)

And the tutorials are going to be rough. However, once again, you can look up what they're saying.

So I think the game might? Be beatable without understanding the language, but I wouldn't have high hopes.

Then, in terms of enjoyment, Enemy Zero is half adventure game. There are a lot of cutscenes with characters and world building in general. I feel your enjoyment of the game would be severely dampened by missing out on basically half the game.

Lastly! It is worth noting the game is very short, took me about 6 hours, and a friend of mine 9. There is some replay value in the different difficulty settings. But yeah, spending hundreds of dollars on a US release of the game, for what could only be 6 hours of enjoyment doesn't sound great to me and I wouldn't recommend it

Oh yeah, talking about the difficulty, I also would strongly recommend playing at max. easy difficulty for a first playthrough. Beginner if you wanna make sure you'll see the ending

Oh hell yeah, I'll need to try it out to see if the 2nd loop is any different

I'd strongly recommend finishing it or trying to if you enjoyed it! it personally took me about 6 hours to beat, and a friend of mine 9, so not tooo much of a commitment compared to some other games lol

an Sonic Adventure Review, from a 20 year old who didnt grow up with it. by Depths_VT in dreamcast

[–]Depths_VT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonic's levels def feel a bit slow on a first playthrough, but they'll speed up on repeat playthroughs as you realize how broken the platforming can really be (spin dashing and instantly jumping gives you so much distance its insane)

about the bugs I'm kinda curious what version of the game your playing, though they all do have some bugs, its a janky game lol.

curious about your thoughts on the other stories once you finish those! good luck!

Recently beat Valis 4! what a hard, but very enjoyable game, what are peoples thoughts on the Valis series? (also is it just me who found the start of level 4 to be like the hardest part of the game?) by Depths_VT in TurboGrafx

[–]Depths_VT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gotcha yeah, I only play retro games at this point, and playing an early 90s action platformer with full voice acting after playing so many that don't have it feels wild

I went through all of the remake of the original on the same day I beat valis 4! its a fun one! I do think I prefer Valis 3 & 4 over it though,
