DDR at Sea?

[TCO] Patrick · Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 12:20 am Post subject: DDR at Sea?

I just recently talked to a friend who played DDR while on a Cruise ship...I have just one question:

The boat is CONSTANTLY changing balance, right? Wouldnt that screw with your equilibrium? I mean I wouldnt know from experience, but wouldnt it be roughly the same as playing DDR during an earthquake?

Id really love to hear from people whove played DDR at sea while on a boat or ship(Ive never tried this, and probably never will). It sounds like itd mess with your head.

My friend played ddr last year on a ferry boat, when she was going to Euro Disney!! She said it was really hard and threw her off balance and she also fell over a few times!!! But she said it was fun!!!

Well cruise ships are really big boats. If you were going on the water on a normal day (sunny/partly cloudy with a breeze), then I dont think it move that much, if at all, due to the mass of the cruise ship.

So I don't think you would have much problems playing ddr on a cruise ship, unless your in the middle of a big storm.

I went on a cruise ship, and it was really smooth. I would think that if you play DDR that you will get off balance.

that would be fun! If you get bored with just ordinary heavy, play with a lot of waves... Next i wanna hear of someone playing in an airplane or train...

Yeah, as someone else said, cruise ships are really huge (usually,) so unless there are really big waves, it won't move around enough to jar you. Actually, the movement helps somewhat if it's coming at the right time, because it helps you shift your weight faster.

Last time I was on a cruise, they had Techno Motion. Ignoring the horridness of most of the songs, it was actually rather fun. The best part was when I was in midjump and the boat lurched, so I landed while it was tilting everything "fowards" (really left, but whatever.) I almost went flying into the machine.

Playing on boats is awesome. Everyone should try it.

Edited because of the censor. -_-

Id be willing to try airplane DDR. Sounds fun, especially when turbulence is involved.

I played DDRMAX2 on a cruise I just recently went on. It wasn't too bad. I could still do all the regular songs I could do while still on land. But, later that night we hit rough water.

One of the cruise ships I was on had a DDR 5th Mix, the big thing is once you're on the ship, you can't really feel any motion the waves are making unless they're really really huge. I played on the machine just fine. A smaller ship or boat would be hell to try and DDR on though.

When I went they only had a really bad 3rd mix but i didn't lose my balance. But next year I'm going to be going on the new Freedom of the Seas. New ship=New machine.

If I played ddr on a boat I would play In the Navy by Captain Jack and perhaps Boom Boom Dollar.

DDR in space!! so you weigh less in space and you can move your feet way faster cause they weigh less and then you can float over the pad. THat would be cool.
