rocket rods

Peoplemover. All Rocket Rods seemed to do was create unnecessarily long lines for a faster version of the Peoplemover.

Hey, give rocket rods credit. It broke too.

PeoplemoverMatt · 01-29-2006, 02:52 PM

^ But unlike Peoplemover, it was destined to break. Engineering design & budget cuts mix like bathwater & toasters.

I'm just going to take a stab at what you voted for... umm... Let's see, PeoplemoverMatt, PeoplemoverMatt, PeoplemoverMatt...
I will guess the Peoplemover? Maybe?

PeoplemoverMatt · 01-29-2006, 03:15 PM

^ I was thinking of giving the Rods a sympathy vote, just so it has 1 vote y'know, but...nah.

mrskellington · 01-29-2006, 04:22 PM

AstroZombie, just watch a video of the two and then choose, even though it won't be like riding the actual thing.

astroZOMBIE · 01-29-2006, 04:39 PM

I think I'll go with People Mover. Seems so much more origianal...and like a good cool down ride. Yep I chose PM.

RU42 · 01-29-2006, 05:22 PM

Here is something to think about....if they brought RR back where would they put the queue? The old queue is now Buzz.

True, I went for PM, I remember the fact that the lines were short. It was very relaxing. I loved the Tron tunnel, and the mooning stromtrooper.

LOL That is an excellent analogy. Matt! Perfect!

Peoplemover was one of my classic favorites ever since I was a kid. They need to bring that ride back!

Sesshomaru-sama · 01-30-2006, 01:04 AM

I do like the Peoplemover, but I do prefer Rocket Rods because it's fast.

CLASSIC HM · 01-30-2006, 07:00 PM

As great as the Rocket Rods were, I would prefer the Peoplemover. The Rocket Rods were too fast for me to enjoy the view the track had to offer.
