Jumboshrmp Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Yeah, I thought this was funny, because I wasn't expecting it at all. It's just a dvd with tons of coasters footage, set up like a travel channel special. Of course Paul Reuben was in it, raving about how unique the boomerang coaster is (it's a 2003 dvd), and stuff like that. But I got to the part about Goliath, and guess who I see! it's Robb! Wearing a funky coaster shirt! This is the DVD I am talking about: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000094FG6/002-1974420-8108853?v=glance&n=130 It's got some cheesy commentary, you can tell a lot of the people were told exactly what to say, but the footage is really good. If you have the dvd it about 7:20 in. Robb with an ACE shirt and a funky jacket
kennywood!007 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Man Robb and Elissa pop-up in coaster videos like crazy! Robb, looks really different. Like EXTREMELY different. haha.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 They are in quite a few movies. Actually if you look closely, you will see many other people from the forum in these. Hell, just the other day I watched that "everything" you need to know video and I saw BeemerBoy and his woman riding Superman. Another thing that is pretty misleading is they use the same footage ... over and over and over and over. After a while all the new shows just feel like compilations of old material.
Jumboshrmp Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Yeah, so many shows just use stock footage. Two different shows featured a couple that like to ride medusa. It was funny.
kennywood!007 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I hate how they use stock footage. I think its kinda dumb to make a new show and use the same footage. But o well its coasters!
Jumboshrmp Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 I hate how they use stock footage. I think its kinda dumb to make a new show and use the same footage. But o well its coasters! Some parks (like Busch Gardens) won't let you mount cameras on their roller coasters, but they do provide stock footage to the media. So I guess it's better than nothing. But at least stock footage is very high quality. Has anyone seen the full sheikra stock POV? It's really good!
WillMontu Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 He's got the Fatty Patch Jacket AND an ACE shirt!
Homer Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Hahaha... I needed a good laugh, and old joke Fatty Patch Jacket Robb made it. I wonder if Robb still had that patch jacket though?
Angry_Gumball Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Elissa's on the B:TR footage. She's known as Elissa White on there as this was recorded before marriage.
okinawaboy11 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 tehehe. Robb do you even know this thread exists? Are you even a member of ACE anymore?
Milkchan Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I bought that same dvd for $5.00 because Media Play was going out of buisness
Jumboshrmp Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 tehehe. Robb do you even know this thread exists? Probably not. Either that, or he's embarrassed and doesn't want to bump it. Are you even a member of ACE anymore? Why would he need ACE? He has Theme Park Review!
mmousefan Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I saw Julie ( USRoadTripper ) on Discovery Channel here in mexico. It was a coaster special about the construction of the vogage and kentuky rumbler and she appeared on a press event when it was anounced the name of kentuky rumbler. For me it was like OMG Im a member of the same forum like her!!!
Golfie Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 FATTY PATCH JACKET ROBB! He could sell that thing on eBay for millions. Andrew "patchy!" C.
WillMontu Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 tehehe. Robb do you even know this thread exists? Are you even a member of ACE anymore? He's lost a bit of weight over the years. What do you think? They are members of ECC though.
vjgx Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 From the looks of it, Fatty Patch Jacket Robb (am I allowed to say that?) is about to take on the Helix of Bunnies and Assorted Cute Animals!
Chaddyboy Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Even when the shows use different footage, they're all pretty much the same thing. It's like, "What drags thrill seekers to the scream machines time and time again? We did a study to find out." And thats pretty much how they all are. Nothing new. The same show over and over again.
CoasterExpert13 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I just watched "Everything you need to know: about Coasters" like two days ago (forget what channel)...but Elissa was on there, and she was also part of this experiment to see how the heart reacts before and after a coaster ride. I guess the show was filmed this year as it showed multiple shots of people riding Tatsu.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 ^ Very little of that show was actually taped in the last year. The Elissa segment was several years old and was featured in another show.
Milkchan Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 ^ A lot of shows do that. Look at Discovery, Travel, and TLC, they switch of the same footage for diffrent shows. Something funny that shows do is not show the roller coaster in the order it goes in. One show had Riddlers Revenge they showed the first drop, loop, then showed a small corksrew, after that they showed a Dive loop? That was pretty wierd.
Jumboshrmp Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 Guess what! I finished watching that DVD yesterday, and Elissa was in it, riding Batman! And I can't believe how much California Coaster footage that DVD had! It was ALL coasters in California. And about half of the dvd was spent telling me how great SFMM was.
coastrfreak2000 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Whoa Robb looks really fat!! Sorry, couldn't help myself. He really has lost a lot of weight.
