Nrthwnd Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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.

ECZenith Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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.

grinch1313 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TatsuXtreme Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 haha holy freakin god! best episode of the simpsons ever! -Mike "but im still fond of the episode with the rabbid furbies" P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstevet07 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfzraptor Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 yeah that's also a good episode.... oh Go crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yeah, as a whole the episode was "ok", but man that ending really takes it!!!! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 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!) http://www.allsimps.com/index.php?season=18 And we all know that while Robb and Elissa didn't marry on Colossus, they did propose on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraxleRIDAH Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65TM4SX8r6s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNynex2003 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayoss Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayoss Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 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- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm bumping this thread because the episode was on again tonight...and once again we were LMAO at the ACEr rip!!!! Classic. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The ACE chant was great! It'd be hilarious if they actually did that everyone said coaster. or gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
