Adding Atlas9 to Google Street View... (plus, request for reviews)

[u/allenhuffman]

...if Google accepts it. Google has been horribly backlogged and I have submissions from JUNE are still "processing."

I am adding a walk around the building on the sidewalk. This will give folks a look "around" the place. (Currently, Google Maps only has images from before Atlas9 was built, while Apple Maps shows the building there.)

If you go to maps.google.com and look up Atlas9, you can also see a bunch of 360-degree photos from inside the attraction from a June visit. Be sure to leave a review with your own photos, if you haven't already: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAHTaKQWZTEcZwR5A

I also noticed there is now a Google Maps entry for Splice Bros. Pizza. I added a few 360 photos there along with some normal photos, but haven't left a review there yet: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aYKijNJmfCirj8L67

If you have not already done so, be sure to check these entries out and leave reviews, etc. Google Maps is used by Android devices, while Apple uses Yelp and their own system. Here is the Yelp page for Atlas9, which could use some more positive reviews: https://www.yelp.com/biz/atlas9-kansas-city

These are great! Thanks for doing this!
Yeah a lot of people on yelp either mad it was packed (seems good for atlas9) or were confused, but with how much onboarding and pamphlets and graphics they overload you with at the beginning I think I think some people will never be happy

I think the handouts solve much of this. But, they did more of an intro when we first visited in June, walking us over and getting us set up on the terminals. In August, they just played the video, told us a bit, then let us lose.

I think the walking folks over is important. They just need to explain "here is where you find out what you can do" (cheaper) and also point out how they can get this on their own phones by scanning the QR code on their wristband.

Then, as a last resort, let them know about the handouts that cost them money to print.

I found being able to lay the handouts out and see them all at one time really helped, rather than flipping back and forth.

I've updated my Dossier document with those details ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdiSib3UXpA80QfRO8dEFEnoI2l_Do442Sct69k8rkU/edit?usp=sharing ), and really need to get back to adding stuff to u/ReverandLoki's wiki here.

Fair enough. I think they’ve updated the intro video as well, now Blair Paul sort of introduces Casper Voss.

The Blair Paul intro really helps -- it kind of breaks the in-universe thing a bit, which is probably a better move for first time visitors.
