Comment by AzaramCool, I like roller coasters a lot more than merry go rounds.Comment by AytiriosWell, that looks a little neat.Comment by AlakeiThancanI'm not gonna criticize because it's been explained at Blizzcon that this was an artist's independant work, and didn't take on any development time.

In fact I think it's neat that it exists. That being said, in practice, I don't see anyone using it more than once just to see what it is.Comment by DarkkizGod I'd love to play this game casually. Everything is just tailored for it.Comment by cinderstormAhh I love it! I'd love to hear some sound effects of the rails and all that, and of course some screaming (which I'm assuming are probably still to come, given this is PTR). It always seemed odd to me to have a full Fair but no roller coaster, so I'm glad they've added it!
That being said, in practice, I don't see anyone using it more than once just to see what it is.Comment by SgtGrumblesSeems pretty cute.Comment by SciofSoAIt's better than the empty tent it's replacing I guess. With nothing new to gain from it falls a little flat on my enthusiasm scale though.

Edit: Is 1080p60 being the only option Twitch or the uploader's doing? The microwave I play on can't handle 1080p60 worth a damn. I don't watch much twitch so this is the first time I've encountered a video on there without the option to lower the resolution.Comment by DelantisCan you see other players riding it or do they disappear when they enter it?Comment by NightgaleIts a nice edition to the Darkmoon fair love Roller coasters in rl , so yea will ride it in Wow too , it would be nice if there is a quest involved with it maybe also with rep for Darkmoon fair :DComment by dengariinever like real life roller coaster but i guess i will try it on my warlock...lmaoComment by AnthonoxPretty sure our heads are all clipping through the coaster at times. Still, neat!Comment by WaDaPretty sure our heads are all clipping through the coaster at times. Still, neat!Comment by ElladarynStill want to see what those empty pavilions will be used for (they are there since the beginning of the new Darkmoon in patch 4.3).Comment by SkuImBetter than nothing, but could have been much, much more better. For example, players could be required to press certain directional keys, in order to stay in the roller coaster. Since the Darkmoon Faire has this "creepy" theme to it, one would not expect a 100% secure guaranteed "freeride".Comment by xdk89128055so....what is it use for ? get any buff? if nothing,,i will not waste time on it..Comment by TrailsGod I'd love to play this game casually.
