I like it a lot better than the other one they had up.... It doesn't run very well though. It starts out showing the whole page then it cuts half the webpage off after about 10 seconds of having the page loaded.

I like the new interactive map.

It takes a ridiculously long amount of time to load, but that's probably just my internet connection.  >:(
Does the new website have more images than the old one? that may be why it won't work for me.
You have a great past ahead of you.

Played with it a while last nite..  not impressed,,,(but of course I am so used to the old one)...  However it is here to stay, I am sure they will do some tweaking.

Like the map, wish we could could actually zoom in a little closer, and right now not all of the "markers" is working..(on my puter anyway).

I could not find the ride qualifiers for weather..  someone had posted sbout weather and outlaw run..I did not find that page..

oh well, it will be a learning expierence.. ;D

They definitely used a lot of higher resolution images, and the page contains quite a bit of javascript, but I really like the new page layout.  Modern look and I think it is easier to navigate.  Here is a link to the rides page, it actually has search criteria for finding the ride you want.   http://www.silverdollarcity.com/theme-park/attractions/rides.aspx

I was noticing how specific the rules were on the sign outside Outlaw Run. I think it's probably in reaction to the war vet who fell out of a coaster and died: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2012832/Darien-Lake-Iraq-war-veteran-James-Hackemer-dies-roller-coaster-fall.html

Insurance, lawsuits and all that stuff :(  I've spent some time on the site today, and I don't feel like it organized very well. Had trouble finding park hours of operation.

Me, too!  It's not as pretty.  Like Sanddune, I'll play with it when I have more time.

Joy.. I am sure your right about that....  they are being very explit about "torso length".. and having both feet to brace with or hands to hold on with...

It really sounds odd to read..
