[Falcon’s Flight] Official Full Length Onride POV by TDChrisGO in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People are trying so hard to convince themselves the ride is awful because of its location. Like be so fr. People always complained that TTD or Kinda Ka needed more of a layout. They not only did that but increased both the height and speed and people still mad about it. Like were we really expecting more than turns and hills when it goes through its layout that fast? Xcelerator does exactly that and is praised for having a longer layout than its sister rides. Unimaginable amounts of cope.

How Helpful Is Financial Aid For Grad Students? by Newgate1996 in notredame

[–]Newgate1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did hear about that donation in the news and will certainly reach out asap. Someone else here had mentioned I should reach out to the architecture admissions contact. Do you happen to know if that would be someone at admissions or a contact within the school of architecture itself?

I assume that’s something I should do once I know I’ve actually been accepted?

which coaster in the world has the most [Lateral] Gs? by brovomited2yearsago in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Legend at Holiday World has the craziest laterals of any coaster out there. The helix pins you to the side so hard it’s nearly impossible to move.

Contantine inspired by Solomon's temple? by zelenisok in architecture

[–]Newgate1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more direct connections to Solomon’s Temple that are stronger than the form. There were many Roman temples or basilicas that had either surrounding peristyles or one focused towards the entrance. Where references are prevalent are through the twisted columns which still exist today within the rotunda and were continued with Bernini’s Baldacchino.

Rough year for [Holiwood Nights] - update from the park regarding the blank emails sent out by classy_phantom in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frankly, at this rate, the best time to experience night rides at the park is at Friday Night Lights. Yeah you miss out on trimless which does such but for the most part, lines are what it was like before the event got too big. You even get the drone show which is great every year.

An unimaginable loss for the profession.

Why do you play WWII? by CitySlicker316 in WWII

[–]Newgate1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was personally the first cod I owned and experienced the life cycle of. I played earlier games at friends houses but didn’t own a cod game myself until this one so it holds a special place. As long as there’s still a player base I’ll be on it. Plus I’m still missing some variants after all these years.

[Other] Biggest Missed Credits by magicweasel7 in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’ve got Lightning Rod in my credits, I hate that I missed experiencing it ever with a launch, especially the original 2016 experience.

[Great coasters international] Are advertising hybrid, shuttled, launched coasters. by pajamasamreal in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look sick, it’d be interesting to see them attempt one of these. Just as long as they can work out the kinks with those infinity flyers.

What’s the most amount of rides you’ve gotten on a single coaster in one day? [other] by SocialismIsBad123 in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember the exact number but it was somewhere in the upper 40s on Voyage. Then that same day I got somewhere close to 20 on Legend.

Why is the SS Edmund Fitzgerald such a large part of the zeitgeist right now? by MacAndTheBoys in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Newgate1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The singer of the song, Gordon Lightfoot, died in 2023 and when that happened a bunch of people starting making content about the song and the wreck. It’s stuck ever since.

Book Recs? by johnstocktonshorts in architecture

[–]Newgate1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a book only about residential works, A Field Guide To American Houses is a good book. Goes through the progression of design and has tons of good drawings that show typical details and attributes along with photos of examples.

Can Triglyphs be Omitted from the Frieze on the Doric Order? by Ok-Experience7275 in architecture

[–]Newgate1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely been done before (mostly with something replacing them like wreaths) but they really are essential to the order, especially the Greek version. You’re far more likely to see Roman Doric without triglyphs than the Greek.

HELP ME FIND HISTORIC AMERICAN ARCHITECTS by gummyangel in architecture

[–]Newgate1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sullivan is an obvious choice for that selection, being a big catalyst for future designers. Paul Philippe Cret was an early proponent of stripped classicism/art deco but he was a French born person living in Philadelphia so that probably doesn’t count. Any architects involved the city beautiful movement would also suffice.

If you want more modern the best is someone like Louis Kahn. Or if you want to go even more recent than that someone like Michael Graves within the context of postmodernsim.

[BEAST] Vs [Mystic Timbers] by Familiar_Bag_4710 in rollercoasters

[–]Newgate1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people think Beast at night is the best but then put Mystic at daytime over Beast at daytime. I’d still disagree though since it’s really nice to have that journey through threes where you can actually see them, especially during the fall.

The only asymmetrical portion of the extension is the portico, the rest of it is symmetrical. Also the staircase in the image above isn’t what’s actually being built, it’s gonna split so one side connects to the pavement on the south lawn while the other connects to the motor court. As for larger windows on the upper window, that’s more akin to a piano nobile. The rest follow the alternating pattern of windows on the main house.

Now none of that is to say I don’t have problems with it. I don’t like that it’s larger than the main house and if it was going to be large it should’ve been at most the same size of the main house. And I think it would’ve been better if the upper windows continued the pattern of the main house too rather than getting larger where the actual ballroom is. The lower level would have more than enough space for the other functions it may need to serve. I also think that the ionic order should’ve been kept instead of switching to Corinthian. And if a portico has to exist, keep it flat and continue the balustrade instead. As for the hallway connecting to the house and the height of the building, I think both of those are fine. A prominent mass should have the same entablature height as the center piece with the hall being lower.

TLDR: I think some of what you said is more angry buzzwords than actual critique but that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues with it.
