Cllins Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Yeah the ride I filmed on was actually pretty poor as a ride, so we went on pretty much straight after, and had another bad ride. It just didn't spin at all Yes, I know what you mean. I have got a good formula to make Dragons Fury spin like mad on the first drop. If there is four of you then you put the light weights in the front two seats and the heavy people in the back with the most heaviest in the seat on the left side nearest to the loading station when getting on. As I have worked out that the release arm is just at the top of the lift hill just before the right turn and the drop. this seems to work every time. Unlike spinball whizzer, as the release arm is just as you leave the station, and if you are lucky and might spin going up the lift hill. Maurer Sohne spin coasters are just too much fun, cannot wait to try Winjas in Phantasialand & Tarantula in Parque de Atracciones Madrid.

robbalvey Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 ^ LOL! I thought you would apprecaite that!

Cllins Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 ^ Come on you see a sign like that and you just can’t resist & do some thing very silly. Did you see the other sign in one of the other clips with “For your safety hold hands in the car” . I was trying to work out if that was your own hands or each others !!!! Looking forward to seeing more signs like that in the USA in June.

Dr Freeze Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 ^^ the "meet and greet" was awesome! And the handpuppet was probably the funniest thing I've seen on a coaster. Where did you get the puppet? Did you bring it with you, or did they sell them in the park? Robb or Elissa - do you send out a confirmation email for the videos you receive?

Where did you get the puppet? Did you bring it with you, or did they sell them in the park? Looks like Mr Skunky (yes the hand puppet ) is becoming a little famous. He goes to the odd theme park from time to time. He originally came from Alton Towers (The shop by the River Rapid's & Run Away Mine Train if you know Alton Towers). He's filmed enjoying some great airtime on Tonnerre De Zeus at Parc Asterix. Paul "It's a long story why he's called Mr Skunky" Chapman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 At the risk of being the 27th person to make you answer this question, was my vid received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdn Mndbndr Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I was wondering what the Artist name and song title was, in the Lovely Rita video. Music like that makes driving in rush hour so much easier to tolerate. Thx PS: This video gets my vote for #1 so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 The artist is "Altitude" and the song title is... "Altitude", original eh? It's the SHOKK remix you want aswell, it's a lot harder than the original. For me, I think that would make rush hour less easy to tolerate, as it makes me want to go fast!

Cdn Mndbndr Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Thx, I will be downloading that song. BTW, What makes you think I don't drive fast at rush hour. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Okay I'm guessing I'm the 28th to ask this... so here I go. Did you get my videos? and Can I get my tape back after the contest? :edit: Okay I got the email that answers the first question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New videos have been posted today: http://www.themeparkreview.com/contest2005/contest2005.htm As with the entries posted last week, you can see the level of quality overall has increased over last year's contest. Check them out and I can't wait to see the feedback on these! --Robb "Post your comments here!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 All the new entries are awesome - they all have something unique in them that stand out for me. Hard to choose a favorite from them - but if had too - I'd have to go for Andrew's Winconsin Dells clip. I can't see why Texas sucks , that Superman B&M floorless look fantastic :shock: Paul " Who else grimaced at the kick in the groin shot' Chapman ^ Still mega funny tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not For Sale Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 One quick favor, please. Can you put a line seperating each week's entries?
