Apollo's Chariot

[Nicole]

Based on my VR ride experience, I do not think Nessie is a good candidate. At least in my experience, you need to brace yourself in several spots, to prevent banging your heads etc. VR headsets make it more difficult to prepare for those elements.

I can't see a reason to put VR on Apollo, but to be honest, I find it to be a cheap gimmick that just reduces capacity anyway.

I never understood why someone thought the VR on coasters was a good idea in the first place.

I was experimenting in Planet Coaster, the new simulator/management game, this morning, and I built this. The train has speakers on it so I added a song you guys might now. Look how perfect it is in time with the ride

I hope you upload this to the steam workshop.

Leave Nessie out of this VR nonsense. She has done nothing to you!

Happy 18th Birthday, Apollo's Chariot!!!

Oh this is awkward. I didn't realize Apollo and Alpengeist's birthdays were so close. I hope they're okay with having double birthday parties.

An excellent journalism.

I've read that article before and its a pretty good read and all the Fabio references are really funny.

The guy in front of me in line for Apollo keeps trying to telm the group that he is with that the ride is themed to Apollo Creed from Rocky.  On of the others in his group of 8 keeps trying to correct him but he is dead set that he is right and kerps repeating it.  I am just had to share as I am trying my hardest not to be rued and laugh at him.

wait... its not???

wait...  its not???

No it's not but rumor has it that they have settled on an Apollo Uno overlay for Christmas Town.

People say the stupidest things! I can't decide if it's funny or aggravating. Let's see...I've heard people saying Alpengeist doesn't go upside down (and you could see one of the inversions EASILY from where the person was standing). Also evidently there are real live bats that are part of the theming during Verbolten. I remember saying "If there are real live bats in there, they are NOT part of the ride!" Grr. I suppose it's funny, but...I have no patience for that sort of thing...

I hear LNM is actually named after a famous 1970s Scottish porn star.

Oh I think I've seen some of his work before...

ACK! MY EYES!!!

 

[ElsaManta]

That was rather disturbing!

 

[The Hessian]

I've seen worse unfortunately.

Eh, 6/10. Probably should go back to talking about Apollo in this thread though.
