robbalvey Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'd assume Raw 2 will be out in time for Christmas, or at least it makes sense to be before Raw 3's hopeful release in February/March. The goal is to have Vol 11 and Raw 2 ready for orders on Nov 1st! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Awesome! Don't forget about Sierra Tonante for Raw 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We have POV of all coasters at GL and Conneaut if you need them. They aren't the best quality ever, but it does show the rides. Let us know if you would like to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Great News Robb and Elissa! I can't wait for the new RAW videos. I really enjoyed your first one after, no offense, thinking I wouldn't like it. I think you guys have a good thing going with the RAW videos. You guys really know how to pull an audience into the whole ride experience while not blasting the video with sometimes annoying songs. Jimmy "Can't wait for it to be released!"

robbalvey Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all a little update on things "Roller Coasters in the RAW" related. First off, as I'm sure you all know, RAW 2 was released! Yay! If you haven't ordered it yet, you can do so HERE! We are starting work on RAW 3 for a release sometime next spring and this DVD will be a "defunct coasters" DVD. This is where I could use some help from all of you. At the moment we have quite a bit of footage of defunct coasters, but more source to work from is always better! If you have onride or offride footage of defunct coasters, please PM or EMAIL me to let me know! And if you have professional shot B-Roll of any defunct coasters that's even BETTER! For example if you had any press kits or media B-Roll that parks have released which features a complete POV of a coaster now gone we could absolutely use that! We are also looking for any footage of "vintage" coasters (1960s and before). Remember the footage needs to be either stuff you've shot yourself, or footage that has been publically released for use. It can't be something featured on another DVD or retail program. Here is a list of the coasters we currently have. Most of it is all handheld stuff unless noted so if you have anything better, like a park B-Roll of anything listed below, please let me know! --Robb Woodies Myrtle Beach Hurricane (mounted) Psyclone (mounted) Blue Streak (CLP) Son of Beast (with loop) Cyclone (Williams Grove) MegaZeph Jack Rabbit (Clementon) Flyer Comet (Whalom) King Solomon's Mines (mounted) Aska Villain Southport Cyclone (mounted) Big Dipper Raging Wolf Bobs Texas Cyclone Sierra Tonante Scenic Railway - Margate Hercules (Mounted) Runaway Coaster Steelies Cop Car Chase (Mounted) BMRX Double Loop (Kobe) Doulbe Loop (GL) Double Loop (FujiQ) Flashback (SFMM) (Mounted) Zonga (SFDK) Batman (Astroworld) Bullet (Flamingoland) Quantum Loop Chiller Viper (SFGadv) High Roller Hayabusa Orient Express Fujin Ragin II Bobsled (Kobe) Ultra Twister (Astroworld) Wind Jammer Speed: The Ride (Mounted) Laser (Mounted) Hypersonic XLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Also, I should add that feedback on this idea of doing a defunct coasters DVD would be appreciated. What do you think of that list above? Is it "interesting" at least? Is this something that you would buy over a RAW with currently operating coasters, etc? And if this idea or the list above doesn't excite you, what changes would make it more exciting? Thank you for your feedback! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've always been interested to see these old coasters I've heard a lot about from members here reminiscing, so the list can only go up as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have some old footage you might be able to use Robb...I sent you a PM. Also, I just realized that I have some footage of Hypersonic XLC and King's Dominion the last year it was open. I forgot to include that in the PM but I didn't see it on your list of rides. I think it's great that you guys are going to do a defunct RAW because I know, at least for me, I wished I could have gotten on some rides before the wrecking ball destroyed them. I think it's a brilliant idea! Jimmy "Can I order RAW 3 now?" Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 ^ Oh! I forgot about Hypersonic. I do think I have footage of that somewhere...I'll add it to the list. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality15 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I haven't gotten either of the RAW DVDs yet, but if you guys were to put out a defunct one, I would definitely buy it. I say it's a GREAT idea and can't wait to hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Just wanted to bump this again reminding everyone if you have footage of any defunct coasters, please drop me a PM or email! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterfan99 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The idea of a past coaster volume of In the Raw is great. For people like myself, we got into coaster after many great rides were gone. Now having the resources to go to great coasters, a chance to experience the heritage of coasters would enhance my application of coasters today. My one piece of advice on this topic is, if possible, to try to do more then one volume of past coasters. Such as alternate between past and current rides with the volumes. Thanks for the great DVDs so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I know for me it would be great to see coasters that have been lost at my home park (SFOG.) I know that it is a standard launched looper but I would love to see Viper and Z Force (which you are going to include as Flashback.) I also don't know if this would count, but I would love to see the original Rattler in Texas. I know that it is not out of commission but it might as well be with the way they neutered it. Just a suggestion/wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleBen Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I see Wind Jammer but there seems to be a distinct lack of Wacky Soap Box Racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmom71 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think a Raw devoted to defunct coasters is a wonderful idea! I definitely would be interested in buying that, and I look forward to seeing what you guys are able to do with this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I see Wind Jammer but there seems to be a distinct lack of Wacky Soap Box Racers. If someone has footage they would like to donate, I'd be more than happy to include it! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I like the idea of defunct coasters RAW. I'm looking forward to seeing the Clementon Jack Rabbit (which was my first credit) as well as the Chiller & Viper (which used to be) at GADV. Viper was horrible but I miss Chiller. I am totally going to buy this DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I sure hope somebody has some old Opryland stuff. I'd love to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What about High Roller at the Stratosphere? LOL John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
