Not only are the launched but they're LIM launched. I guess technically impulse coaster are "boosted" as well.
Whatever, there'll be a cold day in hell before B&M uses boosters half-way through the course on a looper.

Oh, and I can click null vote, look at the votes, come back to the topic later, and still vote. But maybe it's because I'm a parkmaker.

Yeah but then B&M hasn't made an interesting coaster layout in years. I think boosters are too often used as an excuse for poor pacing as well, but it's also unfair to say they should never be used because people like B&M don't use them. Sometimes a ride does need boosters. Sometimes that's part of the pacing. I think you have to look at it on a case by case basis instead of saying boosters are always wrong. I'd more accurately say that they're usually used more as a cheat than part of the ride design, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be used well.

I and many think that they are great rides nonetheless.

But this discussion seems more like "is this just RCT, or are we now behaving like we are all coaster-building companies......"
Okay, it's summer, and the ones that are not on vacation nor building their asses off for a park, must be bored and getting into this kind of "catching flies" as we call it here.....
I voted Demigods, because the whole thing just appealed more to me than the other one, although the difference was not really huge.
Could elaborate more on my choice, but the current discussion does not give me any appetite to do so..
also I think, because so many (not all, mind you) are actively tiny-nitty-biting here on (blown up ?) details, while I never or hardly ever have seen them producing anything themselves, let alone in restricted circumstances.... I don't say one has no right to comment on false notes from the violin-player when one cannot play the violin oneself, but still I value the comments of other violin-players higher (as long of course as they are not only blindly fighting for their own money/glory as so many do here for their own team..... )

Either that or you ARE a good coaster builder, you're just lazy with it. Which is just as bad.
And I can see the votes before voting - why do you think i'm able to comment on the closeness of the match if I haven't voted myself?!
I still find it very strange that the community can be split completely equally. I really do.

if you hit "show results", it'll show and next time you view the thread it asks you to vote.

Just look at it as which coaster would you rather ride and then everything is simple but of course the people reading this have probably already voted or will vote without reading anything especially from somebody on iris' team.

What's even more galling is the fact that all that time building boring buildings would be better spent making the coaster great. I'd much rather see a slightly less finished map with a great coaster than I would a more complete map with a crap one.
(Disclaimer: i'm talking in general terms here, rather than about these specific maps. I can't pass judgement on either of these parks in these terms.)
