Why didn't CP make MF longer

I don’t know why people think that more is always better. I would rather have a ride that is fast and intense for the entire ride. Adding more track to MF would just make an ending to the ride that would feel much slower then the rest of the ride. I like MF just the way it is.

Who said it would be any less intense. All they would have to do is low the height on the second lagoon hill and last turn. It would still be intense, just more disorientating.

Whenever I play Roller Coaster Tycoon, I have a habit of designing a roller coaster, testing it, and deciding it is too short. Usually the ride gets good marks, but I feel that I want more track. I go back and add track to it, and more often then not, it ruins the ride (for some reason I can't help but keep doing this to my rides.) It also lowers the capacity of the ride.

Okay, I know that RCT isn't real life, but I think that the same can be said in real life. Longer is not necessarily better. Look at all of the complaints about MS and how boring the second half is. Most people seem to think that if they took out the second half of the ride it would be better. I don't know that I agree, but the fact remains that longer is not always necessarily better.

MF has been praised for maintaining its high speed thoughout the ride. Making it longer would take away from that aspect of the ride. It might be better, then again it might not be. The fact remains, MF was designed the way that it was due to space, price, and what the park wanted in its ride. I hear that MF is a great ride as it is, so I'll take people's word for it until I ride myself.

I'm sorry for making this post so long, but once I started on this reponse, I couldn't stop.

I think that's where RCT shines the most... as in real life bigger and faster doesn't always mean better. While the save games and tracks I've seen over the years have these huge rides that go all over the place, the peeps hate them. I always try to keep the rides a tolerable length and resist going taller because I can.
