Emiroo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Just a heads up to set your DVRs & VCRs: Extreme Terror Rides 2: Death Defying Drops premieres Wednesday (9/2) on the Travel Channel. These Travel Channel shows are usually pretty well done. Among other rides, this one features The Voyage, Steel Hawg, and Giant Drop at Dreamworld.
Homeboy23 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I liked the previous one. I will set this one up on my DVR.
esvadj Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for this, I enjoy the Extreme series and its good to see some new ones coming out.
robbalvey Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I'm not sure if this is the show, but there will be an upcoming Travel Channel show that will feature some footage shot by Theme Park Review! --Robb
Tbcoasterfan Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I guess I don't fit water slides into EXTREME terror rides but this is a decent selection. Too bad there isn't enough time to offer more content. I wonder when Extreme Terror Rides 3 debuts? http://www.travelchannel.com/Travel_Ideas/Adventure_Travel_and_Sports/ci.Extreme_Terror_Rides_3.alternative?vgnextfmt=alternative ADMIN EDIT - Please don't double post 2 minutes after your previous post. That's what the "edit" button is for.
robbalvey Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 ^ Ahh, I think it's Extreme Terror 3 that has our Steel Dragon footage in it. --Robb
PKI Jizzman Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Voyage, Steel Hawg, and Giant Drop? OMG. -The best coaster ever -Craziest coaster ever -Best Drop Ride.....OMGGGG ANYWHERE!
KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Looks like I'll have to set my DVR to record this one.
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 ^ Ahh, I think it's Extreme Terror 3 that has our Steel Dragon footage in it. --Robb Can't wait to see that!
spaceace12 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 FYI, if you are in the midwest (might apply to the whole USA), it airs at 8pm (eastern is where I live).
spaceace12 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 It is on now. Steel Hawg has already been on. Once I get the show off my DVR, I might upload some segments.
Ccron10 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 ^ Ahh, I think it's Extreme Terror 3 that has our Steel Dragon footage in it. --Robb That one is on tomorrow night at 10pm I think. Both #1, 2 and 3 will be on Sunday night starting at 9pm.
RctInfinity Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 The show was pretty good, it just bothers me how they put a wave pool and a sand park in a "Death-Defying Drops" themed show.
Angry_Gumball Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I just caught the middle of it when it was showing the 'themed' slingshot. How does a sandboard park relate to extreme terror rides? Well, it does look fun to check out.
Speeddeamon128 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Crap I missed it! I'll watch the re-run at midnight.
sfne2005 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I don't know what's worse about shows like these...the people who get interviewed, the selection of rides or the stupid announcer.
coastercrzyjames Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 ^All of the above . But these shows are entertaining to watch nonetheless. I watched the first 20 minutes of it. Shows like these are just "okay". I think I've grown outta them.
atem122 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I used to love these shows back before I was a total geekdorkenthusiastnerd, now the shows just seem really lame because they always make the most normal things sound "death defying" and one of a kind, they also usually rave about gimmicky coasters. Of course that is a very smart idea as they're trying to please the gp and not whiny coaster enthusiasts like myself
tanthonyam Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Dont worry about taping it, it sucked anyway. A wave pool? A skatepark? WTF?? They could not find anything else to report about? The Voyage is mentioned and they dont even discuss Pilgrim's Plunge? Isnt that an extreme drop? A passenger on Steel Hawk says it is the most intense coaster on the planet. Hmmmm. He must not go to many places.
Paul_Hollibone Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I'm intrigued, what did they have to say about The Giant Drop? Was it given much of the spotlight, or was it left to hide under our US Cousins?
Homeboy23 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 ^ It had the least coverage. They talked about it for about 2 minutes and that was it.
Paul_Hollibone Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Well, it is a pretty simple concept of a ride. You go up, then you come down. It's pretty funny though, the park where the ride is located issued a press release about the documentary today, saying how the US will see the Giant Drop in the Extreme Terror Rides show, and it goes on to say how they are at the Forefront of Thrill/ Terror Rides, but it seriously made me laugh, the last "Record Breaking ride" they installed is over 10 years old now (the Giant Drop). All the rest have been, well fun (the Claw, the Motocoaster, whilst being great rides, there is nothing "Record" breaking or "Terror-ising" about them).
tatertot3710 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 The Voyage is mentioned and they dont even discuss Pilgrim's Plunge? Isnt that an extreme drop? It's on ETR3.
nannerdw Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. Did they even once mention skycoasters, SCAD towers, X, Perious Plunge, or El Toro?
