TyRush Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Any idea what's the name of the show will be so I can keep a look out to record it? madvaz Insane Coaster Wars
robbalvey Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 My only question is whether we have to pay for park admission or not. Because I would love to do it at Kings Dominion as I've never been, but if we have to pay for admission I might as well go as a guest. Even then, this is an awesome opportunity for everyone to do something fun on some of the best rides, and it's really fantastic of the Travel Channel to reach out to you Robb! You do not have to pay for admission into the shoot, but it is not guaranteed they will let you stay in the park the entire day. Rule of thumb is this - if you have ask so many questions about the shoot, don't submit your information. The production company doesn't have time to answer a million questions or work around your schedule. They just need people to ride the coasters.
Voxelmatic Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Sent in my info for SFA on the 27th. Hope to get picked!
RissaBooBissa Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I emailed my info in for the SFOT shoot. Hope I get picked!! If you told them you were a 22yr old female with a photo, you probably have a good chance as that's kind of a rare thing in this business! I sure did! Haven't received a reply yet. Hope I do this week!
firewalk13 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 heck yeah I sent an email. This would be an awesome time... I sent them my Achiever pic...
ajfelice Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I think Rob should put in a good word for me to get picked for Cedar Point on Oct 20 since I stayed late to operate Ravine Flyer II ERT this past summer. I have been anxiously been checking my inbox. Yeah I'm cool.
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I emailed them for KD, now I am just awaiting a reply. If they do select me, that would be awesome

Hercules Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I just did one of these this past Monday and it was a great time. I highly suggest anyone doing it. Even if you don't get paid for it. And even if you don't get the rest of the day in the park for free......
Mrlittle Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 My brother and I are going to be there for SFOT shoot. I know for sure Oct 13th, maybe the 14th one as well. Even if all we do is ride NTAG or Titan over and over again for like an hour. Totally worth it.
MaxwellPower Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 My brother and I are going to be there for SFOT shoot. I know for sure Oct 13th, maybe the 14th one as well. Even if all we do is ride NTAG or Titan over and over again for like an hour. Totally worth it. When is the filming going to take place on the 13th? I would assume early before the park opens. Have they given you those details?

dlawson24 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I applied for the Cedar Point one on the 21st! I hope they pick me Good luck all
TxChoice Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Sent my info for the SFoT shoot! Hope I get picked!
ajfelice Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Anyone know if they have been selected yet? Particularly for Cedar Point?
robbalvey Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 ^ You could drop them a polite email and ask....
Voxelmatic Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Will they send out all the acceptions at once or just whenever they feel like it?
narkitty Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 ^^ I was wondering the same thing. I still haven't heard anything back. I'm just planning on going to SFOT this weekend no matter what.
chadster Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I sent them a message to inquire. On a related but unrelated note I noticed they were also filming at Silverwood end of the month Travel Channel is coming to Scarywood!!! They will be filming in the park Wednesday, October 24th for a special segment airing in next year's episode of "Halloween's Scariest Thrills." We have been chosen as one of the top 24 in the nation! Who wants to be on TV? facebook
MaxwellPower Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I received a response within an hour or so of sending the email. Maybe I just got lucky. If you haven't received a response yet send another friendly email to inquire.
Mrlittle Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I received an email saying that I was in and info would be sent later. Then when I sent a friendly reminder, I was told it was full already. She did say, she would notify me of any future coaster shows to be filmed that perhaps I could be part of. No hard feelings here though, I had planned on going to SFOT regardless this weekend to get in a few rides of NTAG.
RaptorBoyASU Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Yah, never got a response here, nor did Maurizio. Oh well!

texcoaster Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 For those of you waiting to hear word, be patient. I just got word late this afternoon with details for SFOT, which is scheduled for day-after-tomorrow(!) I had sent a friendly inquiry several days ago, but didn't get anything until today and it was the mass email to everyone who got in. So if you've signed up for one, plan to go just in case... I'm having to scramble to see if I can get the day off work tomorrow now. If not, I'll be driving all night to be there Saturday morning. So if you see someone on Travel Channel next season who looks like a zombie with sleep deprivation, that's me!
