spaceace12 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Theme Park Review could put one together and do it as "the fail boat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I actually had a team and we applied for the one in Tampa this year, but we didn't make the cut. I had some friends who applied to fly in three Flugtags before they finally made it into the competition with their fourth attempt, so it's pretty competitive to make it in. I went to the Flugtag in Austin, Texas and it was a really fun time, if you have the chance to go then I would definitely suggest doing it. Here a few pics I took to give you a better idea of what the event actually looks like in person... Downtown Austin from where I was standing. There were over 85,000 people in attendance, it was pretty much like one giant party. There were also a good number of celebrities that were there to judge the event. This was the platform that all of the crafts were launched off of, each team did a skit on here before they attempted to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I would suggest going b/c it's pretty fun. I went to one when they did it here at Santa monica and it was a great time. The skits they do are funny and sometimes pretty clever. The real fun though is when things mess up or there vehicles fall apart, which happened pretty frequently.

Mr. Starr Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 ^ No, sorry. My camera basically split in half when it fell off of Raging Bull three weeks ago. I will say that it was very fast paced and well choreographed. As soon as one team went down the strip, one team came up the ramp. I think that Team Border Recon was probably the funniest team, with sombreros and a giant pinata. One team from Maine went like 120 feet which was cool to see. There were about 50-60 thousand people there, a lot for that section of North Avenue Beach. I had to climb over people's blankets to get to the very front in the perfect spot. (I made quite a few enemies along the way) Anyways, we had a great time, and now high off of Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
