Simpsons rip on COASTER ENTHUSAISTS!!! LMAO!!!!

[Nrthwnd]

That loop looked very random in there with all that wood, hee hee.

 

We just watched a taping of it, from last night.

 

Very nice.

 

Now why wasn't Stealth @ Thorpe called that, HMMM???

 

Zoooooooomeratorrrrrrr. (immediate sound of bird being squelched on impact)

 

I like it.

The part when the model coaster catches on fire was too funny. I was at work and just happened to see it on the tv, and I was shocked to see it was an episode about coasters! They have now officially ripped on EVERYTHING.

I saw the episode last night. It was so hilarious. I was cracking up and my mom started laughing with me. Thanks for putting it up Robb! Glad I always watch the Simpsons.

[TatsuXtreme]

haha holy freakin god! best episode of the simpsons ever!

 

 

-Mike "but im still fond of the episode with the rabbid furbies" P

[bigstevet07]

That episode definitely ranks close to the top on my list, but the best episode is the halloween episode in season 6 with the The Shining and Homer goes nuts.

 

No TV and No Beer make Homer go something something.

[yfzraptor]

yeah that's also a good episode....

oh

 

Go crazy?

[robbalvey]

Yeah, as a whole the episode was "ok", but man that ending really takes it!!!!

Found a version of the episode online. Kind of funny how Homer jumps into the car and pulls a lever in the station to dispatch the train and that Marge climbs over the coaster attempting to repair the "track", which doesn't make room for upstop wheels (maybe it's a side-friction with an inversion!)

And we all know that while Robb and Elissa didn't marry on Colossus, they did propose on it

Whats the point? We are all slowly dieying.

Didn't feel like starting a new thread just to post this...and I wasn't sure if it's been discussed already, but I found a hilarious Simpsons clip featuring Knott's Berry Farm on YouTube.

Only an enthusiast could have made this post. Hilarious.

i remember that episode! it was 1 of the funniest park themed shows the simpsons ever did! the best was when Homer got stuck in the waterslide at Mount Splashmore.

[BDG]

Yeah, there's tons of theme park references in The Simpsons:

 

Mount Splashmore

Blockoland (spoofs Legoland)

Epcot

Efcot

Magic Kingdom

Disney's California Adventure

Diz-Nee Land

Duff Gardens (spoofs Busch Gardens)

Praiseland (spoofs Holyland Experience)

Itchy & Scratchy Land and Euro Itchy & Scratchy Land

etc.

Holy freakin' God that's hilarious. I don't even know what to say. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Matt Groening has been to a few ACE events. He's had to have at least watched his fair share of Travel Channel specials. That's too awesome.

 

While in no way taking credit for the 'jab' in the Simpsons, I have to say I *wonder* if my constant coaster enthusiasm around the writing and producing staff of the show during my long two year stint at Fox in some way contributed to them noticing our little coaster community. The timing would be about right, since it takes around 18 months to make an episode. I quite vocally spoke about "ACEers" and the general uniqueness of theme park fans in general, and am totally guilty as being one myself. (I even got totally made fun of by some of the staff at the 'weirdness' of flying somewhere just to ride a unique coaster.) I know my constant unflattering conversations about Disney’s California Adventure did actually make it on the show (twice I believe), but the Simpsons’ writing staff also has a particular fondness for ripping Disney Parks in general.

 

Next time I'm on the lot, I'll have to drop by the Simpsons hangout and ask a few folks, but if I actually influenced an episode in some way I'm so geeked out now with excitement! Even if it's a happy coincidence, this *REALLY* made my day...

[kayoss]

And, to answer the quoted text, Matt isn't a member of ACE (that I know of, at least) but is most certainly a *HUGE* theme park enthusiast... less of the coasters... I think... then more of the general quirky Americana parts of them. As you could probably imagine, he's a pretty hip dude.

[thomas2]

Haha that was really funny

 

Thanks for the vid, it would probably take years before that episode airs on television here (the newest ones here are of 2004 I think-

[robbalvey]

I'm bumping this thread because the episode was on again tonight...and once again we were LMAO at the ACEr rip!!!!

 

Classic.

[man]

hehe I notice that too. When it came on I joined the chat and said "ZOMG THE SIMPSONS EPISODE WITH COASTER FREAKS" then left. When it came on I did the arm motion with them

[coasterdude5]

The ACE chant was great! It'd be hilarious if they actually did that everyone said coaster. or gravy.

[thomas2]

This episode hasn't even aired (I think?) here so I'm going to have to download it. The clip posted here was great. I loved it
