tanthonyam Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Geez who was that big nerd with the goggles on Kingda-Ka? (someone needs to get laid) I can't believe they finally featured the Mindbender in Canada! They never show this ride EVER on any coaster shows. What a nice surprise! It brought back nice memories of my trip there 2 years ago. I agree about the Cedar Point and Great Adventure rides. Why show Top Thrill Dragster AND Kingda-Ka?? Same rides. The Fahrenheight footage was nice! Firehawk at King's Island? It's old already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I wish they would redo the Dollywood one! So much has happened since they made it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rct3man777 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 People, there's gonna be a different one on the 13TH at the same time the other one came on. It'll be called "Xtreme theme park rides". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm surprised they didn't even mention X2. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 May this "Xtreme Theme Park Rides" will have X2 I would consider it extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force 310 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The show was average, in the sense that it was like every other coaster show that I've seen on the Travel Channel. I find it odd that they didn't show Maverick, especially since it premiered the same year (actually, the same day, if Wikipedia is to be believed) as Firehawk and they could still try to pass it off as a new ride. On a side note, Coastin' Steve has some spiffy shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrzyjames Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah I watched the show last night. It was okay, I was just happy to see a new coaster program on tv. That made me happy. I would've much rather seen Tatsu than Firehawk, IMO. And overall the program could've been alot better. I agree that it was very GP oriented, as most shows on the travel channel are. To me, the best part was seeing the Wisconsin Dells place, i forgot the name but it had some cool looking rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 There are a bunch of coaster and theme park related shows on Travel Channel on the 13th. Don't know if any of them are new or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHulk Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Each time I see Kingda ka, it makes me want to go back to New Jersey even more and more to ride it! (I'm not leaving out El Toro or Nitro, I wanna ride them as well!) The city I was born in was about a half hour or less away from SFGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what channel? Travel? 'Cause I don't see it? Yeah. But remember, the TV guide magazine does NOT show everything that comes on. Only a few things that come on, nor does the travel channel website.

Mr Stratosphere Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 As far as the guy with goggles. There was a similar one that was riding Desperado on Extreme Roller Coasters, a DVD that had a lot of the California rides on it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim S. Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wasn't this the instance where Dainan or Josh said that it was raining the morning they did the Kingda Ka shoot? So goggles might not have been such a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wow, this was a really horrible show. A drunk 4-year-old could check facts better than they did on this show. The Cedar Point segment was especially awful. They went to Great Adventure for "one reason and one reason only" and it wasn't El Toro. EPIC FAIL!!!

ajinaz Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I noticed that there was a girl on KK wearing eyeglasses. Even with a strap, I have never been allowed to ride wearing them on KK, TTD, Excellerator or El Toro. Has this policy changed? I never really get to enjoy these rides fully because I'm blind as a bat and everything is really blurry. I find that without them my eyes try so hard to focus that it triggers a headache, especially on El Toro which is a longer ride. If Coaster Steve was allowed to wear those goggles, maybe I can ride with my prescription dive mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycloneMan Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It rained during the night before th shoot at KK. During a shoot there last year (where I was at, but Josh couldn't make it), it did rain, and the goggles were awesome (because it hurt really bad!). But Steve always wears the goggles.

pacoasterrider Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 anyone notice how loud the inta-rattle was on Fahrenheit? You could barley hear the guy talking because of it. I was there that day when they filmed it, some guy was filming me walking in but I guess I wasn't looking good enough for tv. The ride ops were telling me of the annoying girl freaking out and how they had to shut down the ride to get the camera on and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Kingda Ka the only coaster of mention at Great Adventure? Doesn't make much sense with Dragster in the same show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MixedDrink Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, the show was okay for the GP, but other than that. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
