Wait, do log rides and Pompeii at Busch Gardens count as water slides or roller coasters, because I'm scared of those too.

You mean flumes like Splash Mountain? I think those fall under roller coasters. Water slides require bathing suits and some have inner tubes like the Splatfest illustration.

I only like flumes and wussy rides, so I'm on team water slide. Can't wait to play for the losing team again!

lots of water rides actually run on tracks to prevent the carts from flipping over and whatnot so the situation is murky at best. like the water in a water park after 10000 fat people lounge around it all day

Hmm. I think if a ride is on a fixed track and is propelled by powered elements other than the lift chain, then it is not eligible to be considered in either category of this Splatfest. Many flumes do admittedly fit this description, and therefore should not be considered one way or the other.

This whole thread has been raging at the people who don't want Saracen invasion to their homes

Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures
I'm curious what Europe will get. The same thing would be pretty ok.

I hope it's not Dogs vs Cats, because after how onesided it was in US, it would be even more lopsided this time around.

One of the milk ghosts is in on a tube raft having fun so I think those count. Please stop trying to lie to people if you prefer rollercoasters.

I think most goons are fine with both really. I know the only reason I'm not a fan of Coasters is due to my crippling fear of heights.

Do lazy rivers count as water slides? Because that would push me over to team Waterslide, otherwise I can't really decide.

I think that would be a funny way to kill someone camping your landing target, but you would have to get pretty lucky and you would be more likely to just waste your special.

Picture background colours. Marie is rollercoasters, Callie is waterslides.

Unless they swapped the colours around just to fool us.

I'm gonna go with Water Slides, they're a bit faster to get on to repeatedly and you feel fresh during and after it. Roller Coasters are still great, tho.

I can't decide this time around, I'm slightly leaning towards water slides. Therefore, I will simply choose whatever my waifu is representing, and fight for her honor.

Waterparks > Regular themeparks

Cause waterparks usually don't have have massive lines and if they do there's stuff you can do that has no line period. No I'm not afraid of heights and thus utterly horrified by roller coasrers. Honest, really, why are they so high

I think Rollercoasters are going to take it by a landslide.

But I prefer waterslides so I'm going to fight for the losing team and miss out on some sea snails. Guess I'm going to have to write screed upon screed about how this dumb children's game is a dumb children's game.

I don't think that's a gently caress up so much as a conscious decision to avoid new players hopping on and getting stomped. So instead they said "We'll give you 'til August to get good, then come the premades."

More likely, the were saying "Yeah, we can probably have that feature working by August. Release now!" and wiping off sweat.

Waterparks are more fun but Roller Coasters have Roller Coaster Tycoon which lets you fling patrons into lava.
