It does not appear to work with Linux/Firefox. Unless it is supposed to be a solid gray screen.

Same here. FF 1.5/Linux. Grey screen; dead -- took ages for that to load too.
I'm sorry to say that I have a strong dislike for Flash sites (personal preference). I'd rather have a functional layout that can be accessed in all browsers (including Lynx). It bugs me when developers ingore the fact that not everybody uses IE in Windows. The thing that bugs me most is when I go to a site under linux and I just get a page saying "Please upgrade to the latest version of internet explorer to use our site".

Nice looking and I like the sound, but it's just too darn much loading.

That was a rank experience. I'm not into waiting three minutes for pages to load. Oh well, maybe next time.

It looks like the creator is trying to emulate
this (more on the main page, too) but the download time for each pageload is terrible.

visually amazing, one of the best sites ive ever seen, but lets be honest it wasnt really a site, the loading times is absolutely ridiculious

Loaded in an instant with my connection at work -- course there's a pipe as big as Texas here. Very cool.

Even the pre-loader needs a pre-loader!

It's taken 25 minutes to load a turtle looking creature walking along the screen, and once I press him I've gone inside another loader which looks like it's going to take equally as long.
