The Underground...SUCKS.

Post by lilryan69 » Tue Jan 06, 2009 7:51 pm

Just because you put up some shitty murals of Operation Ivy and Social Gaystortion doesn't make your bar "punk"... especially when most of the people that drink there are east village faggolas.I hope the owner takes a header down that steep ass flight of stairs by the entrance and doesn't recover.

I didn't know they were marketing as a Punk bar. I mean I could think of a lot of better things to be marketed as. Doesn't Dan work there?

The Underground isn't a bad dark ride but they could fix the pre-show.

Well, with the Underground they had an ok concept but the problem is that they cut too many corners and failed to keep the ride up. The first thing is the miner/lawman has not be kept up and in fact doesn't work correctly. The placement of the speakers on the west side instead of behind him seems like a stupid mistake and easy to fix. The ride itself works well in the general tradition of dark rides. A few surprises, a few cheesy effects and a story. If you took the same ride and improved the effects you would have the same level of about 80% of what you would find at Disney World. Most of the "experiences" are nothing more then a basic track ride in the dark, a themed story and a few special effects. It's your basic haunted house ride. Though it does need to be overhauled and improved.

For me the Underground is more of a throw back to the parks of the past then anything cutting edge. The line is always short, it's worth a few good laughs and it's air conditioned. Overall worth the 10minutes it takes to get on the ride.

By the way, I only went to Disney World and Adventureland this year. What would you like me to review. I hope to hit Valley Fair, Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City and Cedar Point next summer. Though I doubt they will live up to the WWD resort service.
