I certainly noticed the new Griffon ride. I did find the flight back, and the banking, to be quite a nice improvement. However, I noticed something odd about the new griffon ride. The bird seems to launch at a fast speed, then shortly afterward, begins to move much more slowly. As you approach your destination tower, the bird speeds up again, and I encountered quite a lot of lag/choppiness during those final few seconds before the bird landed. This seemed the opposite of what one would expect. Wouldn't the bird move fastest after it had cleared the runway and gotten underway? Why would it instantly move at full speed, then slow down for most of the trip, only to suddenly double its speed right as it approach that little runway. This, combined with the landing lag/choppiness I experience, turned me off. So, I like the new flightpath, and the flight itself was smooth, but takeoff and landing need refinement. <div></div>
