robinschroder Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 When you say "No annoying commentary", I'm assuming you're referring to commentaries on other (non-TPR) commercially available DVDs, as there've never been any annoying commentaries on any of the TPR releases! If anything, since there's no music, we'll be able to hear your excellent on-ride commentaries better! "Wheeeeeee!" Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odene497 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just printed out my order form to mail! I'm excited for this one. (As if I wasn't for the others.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenflames Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I totally asked my parents for this, and a few other TPR dvds, for Hanukkah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiascreamer1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Cant wait for the mail to come. Looks awesome! One question, What shipping company do you use? (UPS, Regular Mail, FED EX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 If my prediction of the US Mail System is correct, it should arrive today. But alas and alike, the US Mail System sucks, so it will probably end up here sometime next week! Nah, hopefully it will come tomorrow so I can watch it! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 ^^ We use USPS. Keep in mind that we ship out in the order they were received. So if you just ordered yesterday or today, remember that there is a full weeks worth of pre-orders that will go out before yours! And Brent, you should have yours tomorrow! --Robb "Who will be the first to post a review?" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Just watched the RAW DVD and I must that Robb and Elissa did a great job. I wasn't too sure how I would like this DVD since I love to see crazy TPR antics and such but this was fun to watch. I don't know if it was the pacing and how you guys edited but it wasn't boring at all. No offense guys, but I found your earlier "Coaster Footage" DVD's (the first couple of volumes) to be boring at times just because there's random music in the background the keep the audience "entertained" while watching. This was nothing like that and it was funny at times to listen to the riders. Things I liked: I liked your commentary on Eeja-whatever-eeka. Looks like I'm in no rush to get over there. The Bonus Footage on the steel disc brings back memories and that was the best ride of the trip. Things that weren't so great: Honestly, I wasn't a fan of what looked like footage that you receive from certain parks. The helicopter flying next to Tatsu and over Kingda Ka. When I get a TPR DVD I want to see what you guys shoot because you guys can shoot some amazing shots. The footage the parks provided was good filler but the Kingda Ka video looked more like a video the park releases...unless that's what you were going for. Anyway, enough rambling and giving my two pennies...great job and keep it you guys. Robb and Elissa kick @$$ JimmyBo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 The footage the parks provided was good filler but the Kingda Ka video looked more like a video the park releases...unless that's what you were going for. Yeah, that's pretty much what it was. Almost all B-Roll. I pretty much feel the same way. I like the footage we shoot much better also. But when the park will only allow you to use certain footage, you make do with what you've got to work with! Glad you liked it!!! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Does it seriously have all that stuff that says coaster porn on it? Cuz this looks awesome, but my parents are super anal about that kinda stuff. (They wouldn't even understand if I tried to explain it. . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^ Seriously, if your parents wouldn't let you have something that says "Uncensored" "Untamed" and "Wild!" over a bunch of roller coasters and NOT get the joke then you shouldn't even be reading this forum... Here...I will say something MUCH dirtier than what can be found on that DVD.... ANAL! Oh, wait...you already said that! Seriously, there is NOTHING OFFENSIVE about this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^ What Robb isn't telling you is that I put secret X-Rated messages and images into the design that you can only see if you invert the image, raise the Gamma to 62 and do a Color Replace for all yellow mid-tones. So don't let your parents do that, or they will get SERIOUSLY offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfire Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^LOL! I still want this DVD. I want to see the POV's so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 No that's fine-I can tell them that's a joke (Which they might get. . . ). What they won't get is this part. I have a sense of humor, but my overprotective parents don't. *God I can't wait til I'm 18. . . * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 What part wouldn't they get? "It's like porn for coaster enthusaists?" or the list of rides and parks? I still do not understand or believe that people would have a problem with that or not get the joke. There is NOTHING OFFENSIVE on the cover at all!!!

RIP Psyclone Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The humor on this site is well known for being "PG-13" rated. Are you not at least 13, vffreak? You have to start sticking up for yourself or your parents will walk all over you your whole life. And Robb...for the footage you weren't able to shoot yourself, do you plan on doing so if you get ERT at SFGAd next summer? I really thought the voice heard on the El Toro POV was you.

robbalvey Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 ^ It really depends on the park. And quite honestly, while I would really LOVE to, I'm not sure there is too much of a point to release yet another POV "now shot by TPR..." other than some random comments on the audio, it would look pretty much the same.... The POV discs are what they are...POV discs. We will include as much TPR filmed footage as possible, but we don't really mind using the park footage when we have to. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yeah the "It's like porn for enthusiasts" part. Just to put it slightly, they blocked wee wee slap because of the name. . . Thank god for proxies. And yeah I'm 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Wow, they blocked "Wee Wee Slap?" Man your life must suck! Tell your parents to get a sense of humor. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 To put it slightly, then I wouldn't be going on TPR for a while. (Grounded. . . ) But I think I'll invest in a TPR hoodie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
