Just got the download. Thanks, you guys are awesome!

[Angry_Gumball]

Just made the "order" but haven't seen any link come through on the e-mail yet. It's been past the 10 minutes, and nothing in the spam folder. Should I try again, or just wait it out?

[robbalvey]

^ give it another try

[Angry_Gumball]

Cool, now got the E-mail/link, and seems to be downloading much faster than the Black Friday one you gave us.

[robbalvey]

^ Well, to be fair, there aren't 6,000 people all trying to download it at once!

 

I actually think the server held up quite well on Black Friday considering the circumstance!

I just missed it.

Thanks for the DVD, i think its the best of the ones given away free so far!

 

^^ still took me 5 hours though!

Finally managed to download it last night (my internet connection has been on a go-slow for the past few days ). Looks good so far though! Thanks for another free DVD!

[robbalvey]

Remember, if you missed the free downloads you can still buy them in the TPR store for only $3. THREE DOLLARS! That's *almost* free isn't it?

I've only watched the first 20 minutes so far, but that and the choice of song for the Marineland segment make this pure gold.

Thanks for the free DVD download Robb! I love the Coaster Expedition series.

[robbalvey]

^ Awesome! Please buy some of them at some point in the future. The declining sales in the Coaster Expedition series DVDs is having an impact on whether or not we continue making them.

I think that, because these earlier DVD's are being released for free (which, by the way, none of us can thank you enough for), more people might buy the newer ones; I can picture someone not wanting to get specific editions without starting at the... start... but also not wanting to spring for the whole collection. Hence, these older editions might inspire people (especially now that there's official TPR trips) to purchase the newer volumes.

 

Just thought of something: When you say you include a free DVD for trip participants, is it the CEx volume that largely features that particular trip, or a different one?

[robbalvey]

^ We no longer include the DVD for TPR Trips. We will include a photo DVD for each trip, but no longer a Coaster Expedition DVD.

 

The reason is that I only have the bandwidth to make one maybe two Coaster Expedition DVDs per year, and now that we have 3 or 4 trips per year, it's impossible to keep up.

 

To the average viewer, I don't think it matters if the content of the disc was shot 6 weeks or 18 months ago, but to the trip participants it wasn't fair to make them wait 2 years to get a DVD, which is the case now for the next round of Coaster Expedition DVDs.

 

I've just gotten to backlogged to promise them as it puts additional pressure on me.

 

And when the RAW discs outsell the Coaster Expedition series sometimes 10 to 1, it makes me question the validity of doing future Coaster Expedition volumes.

Please don't stop making volumes of the coaster expedition series! I have multiple dvds from both series and I actually prefer the expeditions over the raw dvds, which surprised me. Hopefully they'll start selling more (again) when people realize how amazing each individual park video is! They're fantastic dvds!
