andyuk200523 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I absolutely love watching the behind the scenes documentaries about the construction of rides or parks, thought this could be a good way of putting links to ones you have found on the internet.

netdvn Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 This video has everything. TPR-style speculation (5:45 -5:47), threatening mail, and construction/testing. A really cool video overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 This video is not of the actual building but maintenance of rides. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy-project-xtreme-episode/videos/index.html - Click on Kings Dominion under video. It is a recent show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ref the Tatsu Video, I have searched for months for another vopy of the video not on Mega Video, and I cannot find one, MegaVideo isn't that bad to use, just remember to close all the pop-ups that load and press the Play button in the middle, then everything should be fine.

moinab Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thank you for posting this! My 8 year old son is high functioning autistic, and he's absolutely fascinated with all things roller coaster, since I bought him RCT3 for his birthday, last year. I'm not sure if we can talk him into riding one, yet, but we're working on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterfan99 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've been looking for 10 plus years for one documentary. It was one about Fun Houses during the original Thrills, Chills and Spills on the Discovery channel. I had it once on VHS, but no more. I know it is from 96-97.

Sorry I don't have it anymore either :\ Is that the one where they discuss early traditional funhouses, together with vertically-challenged staff poking guests with electrified cattle prods? I laughed so hard... Before moving on to the Noah's Ark at Kennywood... and beyond. Later, the programme shifts to todays 'funhouses' such as Universal's Spiderman (I think) etc... I have it on DVD-R. It's a great prog... but I wish they'd stuck with more traditional funhouses.

Read you all soon Simon Baynham www.rollercoastermedialibrary.com I think that might have been a later one. The program I remember was about traditional fun houses. They did the tour of Noah's Ark at Kennywood and a few other older ones. I remember one of them had the barrel of fun and has since closed due to a crook of an owner. The end of the program was about a VR type fun house. This was well before the Universal IoA era. I am still thinking it was shown in 1996-1997 and might have been filmed in 1995-1996 time frame. I also remember how awesome all 3 programs that night were. The Discovery Channel truly had a big impact on me with those programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
