I'm not really interested in anyone's argument on weather they get a headache or it's rough or anything like that, the point is it is BETTER than it was. Is it perfect, probably not but no one is saying that, but it IS better than when it was Lethal Weapon. It's not up for debate, its not a matter of opinion, it's scientific fact, with the physics to back it up that it is now better than it previously was. So I don't understand the sudden complains. People will ALWAYS be more prone to rider discomfort than others, I've come off plenty of rides not feeling right, it doesn't make anyone person right or another wrong, its just different from person to person. As for Audio, really, is it affecting your time in the house so much? I for one never saw it advertised anywhere, but maybe that was just me.

Below are the comments I have made in regards to the LW to Arkham retheme: Yes LW needed updating. Yes Arkham was a great choice. Yes they have done a wonderful job of the retheme. Yes the ride was a lot better than LW was in regards to guest enjoyment. I enjoy walking through the queue line and looking at the newly themed front of the building. I don't care that there is no audio as I do not see how that would improve the experience. These are all similar to comments I have made in that past in regards to this ride alone. Why is it that people focus on me presenting 2 negative facts (pain from the ride and a return of some of the issues it had as LW) and ignore the positive posts I make? Because it is more fun for people to disagree with me in an attempt to bignote themselves, which is something that runs rampant in these forums. Did have a whole lot more typed about this but yay internet crash. We will be heading to MW in a few weeks with a large group of family and friends which will include: young kids, young teens, 20 somethings, 40+ yo's. Will post their reviews of the day.

Ok - Wyncenurous - if you read both Rappa's and Joz's statements one after another, you'll see that they're essentially saying the same thing. Where Rappa says 'it's not up for debate' what he's saying is that the ride is vastly improved, so you can't say that it's worse than lethal weapon - it's an improvement. He didn't say you can't debate leg pain or headaches - he's saying it's not up for debate that it's better than it was - read his post again. I'll be honest - I've ridden Lethal, front, back and middle 10 times in a row, and another 5 times throughout the same day. I did not experience headaches - I kept my head forward, and braced for the g-forces, rather than being a rag-doll with my head lolling against the headrest. It seems to me that most people who get headaches or headbanging are the types who don't brace. I'm not saying you do or don't... i'm just saying most people i knew who came off lethal with bad headaches weren't bracing themselves against the forces. Trust me though when I say that although the signage and operators say 'head back'... it's not the best advice (but if your neck muscles aren't capable of resisting the g-forces - you're going to have trouble). I HAVE experienced the leg pain. It's quite a pressure, and in some instances, i've been 'posititioned' wrong, and experienced pain a little higher up if you know what i mean. Wedged as I am, in every case I have to wait until I get to the station, but it isn't unbearable. it isn't long-lasting. As soon as I hop out of the seat, take a step or two (in the case of re-rides - changing seats) - and i'm fine for another ride again. I'm not going to call someone a sook. I recognise that people are different. Wyncenurous - you are self confessed as preferring the shows and entertainment over the coasters - but to be fair - it is rare that you are on here to praise ANYTHING that the parks have done. Your comments are usually one sided, and generally very critical. Whether true or not, i'm not calling you a liar but you seem to receive unsolicited comments from members of the general public that are in full agreeance with your point of view. My family members are quite social whilst queueing - and it is rare that any member of the 'general-non-enthusiast-public' is as critical as the people you seem to meet. My point is - you, and everyone you meet, are extremely critical and opinionated of the parks. You always seem to be attacking them. So when the parks have actually done something good - improved an attraction that had numerous complaints and problems to a level where those complaints and problems are eliminated, or at the very least reduced, and you still attack them - you should expect to have those who think otherwise to come to the parks defence. It has nothing to do with being a community leader - or having an 'orange tag' underneath their avatar. I agree with them too, and so do many others on here. Nobody is saying your opinion doesn't matter, and nobody is saying that you must be lying - the comments above are simply saying that the ride is an improvement on it's former self, and it is, for all purposes, an incredible improvement on what we had.
