robbalvey Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well this sucks.... Photos are done. Video is done. But the wifi here at the hotel sucks. Everytime I try to upload it times out. . It's 1am now and I gotta get sleep. I'll try again tomorrow. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Cool updates on the FB. KT looks so cute in the canoe all by herself. I remember those days, sadly they are long gone for us. Have a safe trip back home and get some damn sleep already!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Great time was had at Tibidabo today! We actually shot our first HD POV on their new coaster. We'll see how that all turns out in a few days! And if it looks good, then Roller Coasters in the RAW Blu-Ray here we come! Anyway, the internet at the hotel sucks ass so I can't post any new photos or videos. I'm having to do everything from my iPhone (which is working AWESOME BTW) Will have more updates after we get home tomorrow! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think I managed to get the Spanish Death Shuttle video posted! I had to make it a bit lower quality, and I can't actually see it, so I hope it looks ok. I'll have photos of this AWESOME Spanish fair up when I get home tomorrow, but for now, I bring you...

tedten Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Haha. Wow that sure is interesting. I think they thought, " Do you know what would make our swinging ship ride better? If it was a roller coaster!" Is it made by a well known manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneygurlz2s Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ok... I kept having to turn the volume down because I am here at work and Robb's screams were scaring my patients! LOL!!! Great video...can't wait to see the rest of the pictures from this Spanish Ghetto Fair! Shari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Thriller Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 That coaster looks so weird! How where the forces on it though? Did you get any floater airtime on the end of the spikes? Or some nice G's when your zooming though the station? --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Wow ... that was interesting. I didn't know what I expected it to do, but it wasn't just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrtotheargh Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Wow. It would be awesome if the San Diego County Fair had one this year. The ride looks super smooth on the ground. But POV looks a tab bit different. Thanks for the video Robb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I liked the quick cut to Kid Tums!!! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbob19 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I love you guys. The things you say are hilarious! lol This video is great, Elissa why were you crying? The pure joy and excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ramses on crack.... I'm surprised Elissa rode, I was pretty sure she hated Ramses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 It basically was Ramses on crack and Ramses was one of the most f**ked up thinks I've been on!!! And yeah Elissa hated it (rocking type motion makes her sick) which is why she was nearly crying! One thing that doesn't really show on video is the the other spike didn't appear to have any brakes or failsafe at the top. When I rode it was a full train and wet tracks! It looked like we were getting VERY close to the top to where even Elissa was a bit worried! But she needed the credit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADCHEEZ Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 While Elissa is on the death coaster Elissa is on the DISNEY EXPRESS!!!! That was at 3:06 into the video. Anyway, That ride looks...WRONG! I need to get on it right away! I doubt we will ever see this in the USA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorgan Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Oh man, why would anyone do that to themselves???!? I'm just like Elissa and that would have made me totally fricken sick. Props to Elissa for getting the credit anyways. No me gusta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
window Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 WTF? This is why I love this site. Have to say that the 'Death Shuttle' looked like the bastard love child of the Thunderlooper and a pirate boat! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 And seeing Kristen was a nice break... Definitely one of what I would call a "Geddit Credit". Where one time on it is enough. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 That thing has a serious bump during the curve into the spike. I would say it might not be as bad if it was a smooth curve, but that looked like it was designed in RCT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wow.... That belongs at the Wisconsin State Fair or some other place of absolute insanity...... Just... Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
