Title: The Dragon's Revenge
Post by: Jen on April 16, 2008, 11:19:02 AM
As a couple of you know, I work in the corporate marketing office at a major water park chain. I thought you might like to see the web site I designed for a water coaster we're working on at one of our parks. It's called the Dragon's Revenge. We'll be adding more images to the gallery as it nears completion. The coaster is scheduled to open Memorial weekend, so if you're planning a trip to Texas at that time, make sure you ride the Dragon's Revenge. I can't wait to ride it myself. My 3-year-old niece Karlee is a fearless thrill seeker... she loves rides and is now tall enough to ride this one!  :metallica:

Nice work Jen.  I like rollercoasters to a degree.  But I'm big enough to admit they scare me at times too.  But I guess that is the idea.

I am too Rico.. this one is so not a real roller coaster. It's just fun.

VERY nice design Jen! I love the layout and artwork for the site. And Schlitterbahn is one of my favorite places in Texas! Unfortunately I have not been down your way in a long time. I'm sure your bosses will be impressed enough to extend your stay of employment! :)

Oh, and if I could add one comment...if the rocking in the animated book could be slowed down just a little bit it would be easier to read. I understand where you were going with it but it is a little difficult.

Hey Jen, I edited my original post with an additional comment. I didn't know you would read it so fast.

And one other comment about the site. There is no link that takes you back to Schlitterbahn.com. Is that an oversight or intentional? I would think you would want visitors to find their way back to the main site easily to purchase tickets etc.

*EDITED*
Actually the site is one of many subpages of the Schlitterbahn Waterparks homepage (it was dev page until today), but there is a link at the bottom that says schlitterbahn... it's clickable.

That part was outsourced and complete now. At full size it's easier to read. At full size, it's used primarily for commercials and press releases. We're going to add the full version for download, but you can't view it on line without it being very jerky... it's massive.

Amy and I liked your site.  Very cool. If we lived in Texas we would grab Catherine and try it out!

Great Job!
