coasterdude5 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) My First Coaster Watch "My First Coaster" Today! The wait is over! Watch the "My First Coaster" short film below: "My First Coaster" was filmed entirely with the RCT3 in-game video recorder, so the video is clearer and of higher quality. The video is also available on Vimeo: Please share your thoughts of the film after watching! I can only improve if I hear your feedback. I have been working on this projects for about two months now. Although it's less than 8 minutes in length, I recorded all of the footage with the in-game recorder, so the production time has been much longer than my other machinimas. "My First Coaster" spans just over two decades and revolves around a father and son's visits to ride a local amusement park's classic wooden coaster. The film is inspired by a true story. The coaster is based off of an existing coaster, but its identity won't be revealed until the film is released. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you guys. Stay tuned for more previews leading up to the release. Edited August 16, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of the name of the download. Looks like the Zippin Pippin! Keep it up! Perhaps! My First Coaster - Update "My First Coaster" will be released THIS FRIDAY, February 8, 2013! My First Coaster is a classic out-and-back layout. Seen above is the entire layout for the coaster featured in "My First Coaster." It's a smaller coaster, but timid coaster enthusiasts must start somewhere! Discussion: What was your first coaster? How well do you remember the ride?

Ah, I was wondering why I hadn't seen this on TPR, shoulda checked the games board first! I will admit, this just about made me cry, and that was before I read similar reports from others. Now I really want to go ride Zippin Pippin...not that I ever didn't. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. I didn't mean to make people cry, but I'm glad that viewers can identify with the story. I watched it yesterday and this is an amazing movie. Great job! Thanks, XYZ! The Coaster That Inspired "My First Coaster" "My First Coaster" has been watched nearly 2,000 times since its release on Friday. I have been shocked by the response the film has received. I had no idea how many people would identify with the story. If you haven't done so already, watch "My First Coaster" below: "My First Coaster" is also available on Vimeo: Zippin Pippin, the coaster that inspired "My First Coaster," has a somewhat muddled history. Some reports claim that the wooden coaster originally opened in 1912 at East End Park in Memphis, Tennessee. Other dates of the Zippin Pippin's opening include 1915, 1917, and 1923. The coaster was a product of John A. Miller and included a 70-foot lift hill, a top speed of 40 mph and a total length of 2,865 feet. The Pippin, as it was originally named, was incorporated into the Libertyland amusement park when it opened in 1976. The coaster then became known as the "Zippin Pippin." It gained notoriety for being Elvis Presley's favorite roller coaster. The Zippin Pippin operated until 2005 when Libertyland closed. It stood dormant for nearly five years before being purchased by Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Unfortunately, due to the poor condition of the structure, no of the original materials were reused when the coaster was rebuilt in 2011. However, the coaster was replicated entirely by The Gravity Group thanks in part to the original plans for the coaster that were sold to Bay Beach Amusement Park. The coaster opened at Bay Beach Amusement Park in May of 2011 and has been a huge success for the small amusement park. Although nothing remains of the original Zippin Pippin, one of the original cars is on display at Bay Beach Amusement Park, along with other artifacts. Luckily, however, the namesake of the coaster and its legacy will likely live on for many more years thanks to Bay Beach and Green Bay. The "My First Coaster" version of the Zippin Pippin is somewhat modified due to the limitations of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, however, it's overall layout is very similar. Thank you again for all of the responses. I have greatly enjoyed reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey guys, I wanted to share with you a few leftover stills that I took when I was making "My First Coaster." Please continue to share the film with others. It has already received over 4,000 views on YouTube! I still can't believe the exposure and response it has received. Watch "My First Coaster" below: The above screen shows the entire "My First Coaster" set. I originally wanted to have a nighttime sequence in the film, but it didn't make the final cut. Working on this slice of a park brought me back to my Charleston Gardens days. Thank you again for your support of the film. Please continue to share your thoughts. What's next for me? A few of you have asked what I have planned. I am in the beginning stages of building my next park. My final semester of college is proving to be busier than I originally anticipated. Therefore, I do not expect to begin posting regular updates of my next park until sometime in the spring. It's an exciting concept, and I can't wait to share it with you all. I am also developing a story for a film for the Halloween season that I'm very excited about. It will be based off of a popular franchise. And that's all I will say for the time being.

coasterdude5 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 My First Coaster Set Re-Released In honor of National Roller Coaster Day (and because the download link was broken), I am re-releasing the My First Coaster, a short film I made in 2013 that tells the story of a father and son’s visits to ride a local amusement park’s classic wooden coaster. The film was inspired by a true story — the coaster is based off the Zippin Pippin roller coaster that operated at Libertyland in Memphis, Tennessee. A replica of the coaster now operates at Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Download the film set below.
