Lone Rider Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I can't wait to get this DVD. It sounds GREAT! Wow, I'm glad that I rode the Hurricane back in 2005 because it seemed to be in much better shape back then.

Eric Andrew Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Awesome!! I will finally get to see what riding the Wildcat at Idora park would have been like. I was too short to ride it before the park closed.
robbalvey Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 No, really, I will be posting a new TPR video soon!
robbalvey Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 I'm not kidding... A new TPR really will be posted soon!

You'll see: - LOTS of Coaster POV! - A B&M Dive Machine! - An Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster - Elissa sucking balls! - A roller coaster than can only be described as "orgasmic!" Enjoy the video!!!

rollerboy Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Great video as usually Robb! Is it me or does the "10 Inversion Coaster" look a fair bit smoother than Colossus? What do you think Robb? Or anyone else who has ridden both. As I said before: Great work guys!
Phaota Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 How were you able to put so many coasters on the DVDs this time compared to only 15 per disc on the first two "In The Raw!" sets? Considering how many awesome coasters you have visually ridden in the whole "Expedition" series, I would have thought the initial 2 sets of "Raw" would have way more than available. I'm not complaining, they are great! I love both and will definitely be snagging the new one, but thought more should have been put on them. Especially "The Eagles" ride from Hard Rock Park and the "Mindbender" footage you have on YouTube from the Edmonton Mall, which was perfectly edited for inclusion. "CoasterForce" has done some excellent videos of ones missing from the sets, like "Anaconda", "Dominator" and "Shockwave" from King's Dominion; "Hydra the Revenge", "Possessed" (aka Voodoo) and "Talon" from Dorney Park; "Thunder Road" and "Vortex" from Carrowinds; "Alpengeist", "Apollo's Chariot", "Griffon", "The Loch Ness Monster" and the sadly closed "Drachen Fire" (which I'm glad to see you put on "Raw 3") from Busch Gardens Europe; as well as "Behemoth" from Wonderland, Canada and "Millennium Force" from Cedar Point (which really surprised me you didn't put on either of the two "Raw" sets being that it is a classic speed demon). Any chance that these are a ton of others will be on "Raw 4"? Certainly hope so.
topthrill2 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 looks like an awesome park! it owuld be awesome if they also got a togo, NOT!
robbalvey Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 How were you able to put so many coasters on the DVDs this time compared to only 15 per disc on the first two "In The Raw!" sets? Considering how many awesome coasters you have visually ridden in the whole "Expedition" series, I would have thought the initial 2 sets of "Raw" would have way more than available. For each of the Raw discs so far I have carefully selected which coasters to add. It is more of "quality over quantity" for the first two volumes. I prefer for most of the footage on the RAW discs to be "mounted POV's" not handheld POVs. I'd say that out of the 30 coasters on Raw 1 & 2, about 20 of them are mounted POVs. As for Volume 3, well, I don't think I'll be doing another volume of "defuct coasters" anytime soon so I tried to put as many onto the disc as possible. Raw 4 will be out in the fall and it will be back to 15 coasters on each disc. There is a method to my madness! Another issue is rendering quality. I had to sacrafice a little bit of visual quality putting more coasters on each disc and I really don't want to have to do that for every volume. Again, I made the decision to do it this time because I didn't feel I had enough quality defunct coasters to split into two volumes. --Robb
Phaota Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, I had a feeling some of the quality would drop just a bit for Raw 3 with that many coasters on it. Do you use Convert X to DVD software? What do you have lined up for the next bunch of coasters or do you want to keep that a secret? I'm guessing the later.
coastersrule85 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Yay! They're on their way!! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!

What do you have lined up for the next bunch of coasters or do you want to keep that a secret? I'm guessing the later. I do not use Covert X and at the moment I haven't even thought about Raw 4. I'm focued on Coaster Expedition 13 (East Coast Trip) and 14 (Europe Trip) right now. --robb
FitchCoaster Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 The DVDs ship tomorrow, so excited! When they get here, I know what I'll be doing (rather than studying)!
robbalvey Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 ^ We actually ended up shipping out a bunch yesterday! If you were one of the first to pre-order, you might actually get it tomorrow or Tuesday! --Robb
FitchCoaster Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 ^ Yay! Checked my e-mail just now and got an email that my order shipped yesterday. I'm even more excited now, hahaha.
