kdt511 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I remember seeing a video, presumably Xcelerator's media day, with Sandor Kernacs mumbling something from the station platform. It very well might have been from TPR. Anyone know what video i'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willski Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yeah, I know the video you're talking about. He's sitting in the Xcelerator train talking with some ride-ops and other random peeps. Then, the ride-op staples the hell out of him (and his balls). He groans, and the coaster launches. Also, it has rollback testing and them testing the motor at 114 mph (I guess to see if it could work-the train flies through the course). I had it before our hard drive died-you might try googling it or Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfmman2000 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm pretty sure the ACN webmaster took the video. I checked on ACN but I can't find it. I believe I have it on my old comp. If you can't find it M_Force_4_ever I will upload it. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The video was taken by a former ACN staff member/friend. It's not online anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haux Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You're going to have to be way more specific than just "the dude." Do you mean the man getting stapled? That's Sandor Kernacs, the president of Intamin, which is the company that built Xcelerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmman2000 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 He is the President of Intamin U.S. edit: haux beat me to it. Also he is the man being talked to at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEDOME Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 He is the President of Intamin U.S. edit: haux beat me to it. Also he is the man being talked to at the end. There is no Intamin US. Theres only Intamin WORLDWIDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmman2000 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This is where I got that from: Sandor Kernacs, president of U.S. based Intamin Ltd. and IntaRide, LLC (each referred to as “Intamin” in this story), both headquartered in Maryland. “They are usually the most popular rides at the parks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I fucking hate the xcelerator ride ops and their stapling. Right Rich?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 You were probably wearing a theme park shirt when you rode, that will pretty much guarantee you a stapling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormrider Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Geez, I wonder what it would feel like on the ride at that speed! And when I get stapled, I keep it inside of me without yelling,but my face looks like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willski Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 You tube is blocked in Dubai, any chance of posting it somewhere else?? Like blocked by your place of work or blocked by the government? That's some serious government censorship. I didn't even know they could do that without being hounded by free speech activists. I know China does (did?) the same thing, but they've been called on many times to end the practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
