Hey everyone! Knoebel's Phoenix Phall Phunfest this THIS SATURDAY, October 10th. If you are going to this event, wear a TPR Shirt (Any TPR shirt - logo shirt, tour shirt, even a hoodie counts), take a picture of youself at the event wearing your TPR Swag and we'll send you a HUGE BAG OF TPR CRAP!!! And really, it will be **HUGE** Show your TPR support at Knoebel's this weekend and most importantly...HAVE A GREAT TIME! --Robb

Ok, this part is pretty damn cool...

...and here is a "Potential List" of coasters you may see on that DVD: Regina - Tobu Zoo Kawasemi - Tobu Zoo Thunder Dolphin - LaQua Fujiyama - Fuji-Q White Canyon - Yomiuriland White Cyclone - Nagashima Spaland Pyrenees - Parque Espana Elf - Hirakata Delphis - Festival Gate Surf Coaster - Sea Paradise Diving Coaster Vanish - Cosmoworld Titan - Space World Venus - Space World Dolphin Coaster - Uminonakamichi Seaside Park Gao - Mitsui Greenland Jet Coaster - Kashikaen Diavlo - Central Park Mega Coaster - Hamanako Pal Pal Big Boom - Nasu Highland Slope Shooter - Nagoya Zoo Loop Screw - Seibuen Yuenchi Roller Coaster - Hanayashiki Jet Coaster - Lina World Shuttle Loop - Sendai Highland Yagiyama Cyclone - Benyland Jet Coaster - Dreamland Jet Coaster - Teine Olympia Togo LoopScrew Mouse - Maruyama KidLand Jet Coaster - Hokkaido Greenland Ultra Twister - Rusutsu Resort ....and probably a half dozen or so smaller mouse coasters or family coasters that would be unique to Japan parks. A lot of these coasters are probably "unheard of" but that could be very interesting to some. --Robb

^ Yes they are. I don't think the hoodies run very big or small at all. They are pretty much a perfect size. --Robb

Thanks for ordering. However I hope you read this on the first post: We won't even be getting them in until Friday, October 16th. I hope that's ok! --Robb

I would like to know if there is *any* chance of one of the europe trips starting in july instead of june? Unless all of a sudden park schedules are REALLY thrown off next year, it's unlikely. As it is now all of our Europe trips will conclude around the 5th of July. --Robb

Hey everyone! With Roller Coasters in the RAW Volume 4 just around the corner, I have to start thinking about RAW 5 for spring of 2010 and what will be included on that DVD. After getting back from Japan this past trip I realized "OMG, I have a TON of POVs from all over Japan" and I thought about putting together a DVD that would include a lot of those coasters. I wouldn't include anything that has been previously released on other RAW discs (unless you all think I should so that Japan is all in one place), but it would include whatever major wood coasters we haven't released already (White Cyclone, White Canyon, Jupiter, etc) and major steel coasters (Pyrenees, Thunder Dolphin, Venus, Jupiter, Fujiyama, Big Boom, etc) along with a ton of funky Jet Coasters from all over the country, and a bunch of really whacked-out stuff (Ultra Twister with Dive Loop, Togo Corkscrew & Loop Mouse, Concrete bobsled coasters, etc) There would be between 30-40 coasters in total on this DVD. So the question is - Would you be interested in a "Special Japan Edition" of Roller Coasters in the RAW? Thanks for your feedback! Please post your thoughts about this. --Robb

Wow! Great stuff! Thank you for sharing! --Robb

Yes it is! Please keep in mind this is the FIRST TIME we've ever done anything like this...so bear with us...if it goes well, we may do more stuff like this in the future and quality will only get BETTER! --Robb

^ I thought this scenario is EXACTLY what they were doing this past year...and even that failed.

Bags of crap have been sent out! Please post in this thread when you get yours! --Robb

I have deleted some pointless drama. Anyway, Jason, I'm sorry for the interruption. Please continue your very awesome trip report! --Robb

^ There you go. Answer has been given. Thread is now closed. --Robb

ps. I would reccomend that you're up on your TPR trivia if you want to have a chance to win! --Robb

^ Nope! You just have to call in and have fun! --Robb

^ It's a machine. Sh1t happens.

I think it's totally unfair that everyone instantly blames "Intamin" for this. When was the last time anyone from Intamin even touched this ride? --Robb "The upside? More cable to sell in the shop!" Alvey

You mean that I actually do respect the park and the ride designers to have been able to build something which constantly gets rated #1 in the world year after year...even though it's not my favorite ride? Seriously, why would I have brought that up? The podcast wasn't about me or my thoughts on what The Gravity Group has done, it was about Korey and him talking about the company he works for. --Robb
