KCForce Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I can confirm I was on the shoot last year at Worlds of Fun for Mamba, and we were told it would most likely be featured in season 3. So if Big Max is also going to be on, I'd say one of the categories may be hyper coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I would love to see older coasters on the show, and have at least one show be called "old glories." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattguyver Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I was one of the featured riders on Steel Dragon 2000. It was a fun experience shooting it, but I dread watching it. I think I'm probably gonna look like an idiot. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm probably gonna look like an idiot. Lol! The shows have a way of making you say and act in terrible ways that you never would in real life. I hate that every show has to have some sort of 'spin' or 'angle' or 'story'. Just show some fun roller coasters like they used to in the 90's shows. Just ask 'my best friend Neil who I planned the Taiwan trip with' for another example of reality tv!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will need to record it and send me a link as it won't be broadcast here at the same time as the US I expect. I can then watch it once and never again! haha. It was a very strange day that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David0069151 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Latley when i have visited my home parks (flamingo land and light water valley) i have seen filming around the ultimate (LWV) and Velocity and Kumali at flamingo land, maybe that could be on ICWs, I doubt it, as i diddnt see a travel channel van or a van with ICW on it, i heard about nemesis, smiler, saw and the swarm on it, It would be nice to see liesburg rides on, and maybe do a invert round with banshee, nemesis, raptor and Pyrenees would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ^All of these shows are outsourced to different production companies. You would never see a Travel Channel van and very unlikely to see anything with an ICW logo on a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 In regards to Banshee being on it, we would likely see that ride on the show if they decided to do a Season 4. They do filming before the 2014 new coasters are open. So rides like Banshee and Helix and Medusa: Steel Coaster wouldn't be on till a possible 4th season, which might not even happen. Who knows? Its up to the directors to make it if its popular enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Travel Channel just sent me this clip. Nice to see some TPR footage in there! [youtu_be]http://youtu.be/C9UIqbnCKNI[/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 wow cool stuff! Is it just me, or do they seem to be doing a little less of the riders and a tiny bit more of the coasters? My major problem with last season was too much about the riders and not as much about the actual ride, so just basing this off of the clip, it seems that they're showing a little bit more of the ride. Idk, maybe its just this coaster. Did anyone else besides me not like that about last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I honestly didn't mind that they focused on the riders last season. They still gave stats and the full layout of each coaster. Plus, some of the people had hilarious reactions to the coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Well, I think that the overall lineup of coasters looks pretty good, but can someone please explain to me why a Vekoma SLC (Endor L'Attaque) made the show, especially when they have a B:TR clone in the same park?

thedazza Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well, I think that the overall lineup of coasters looks pretty good, but can someone please explain to me why a Vekoma SLC (Endor L'Attaque) made the show, especially when they have a B:TR clone in the same park? It would be a bit pointless having 2 b&m inverts on the same episode. Don't think they have had any vekoma SLCs on the show before so makes sense to have it on to show a bit of diversity. Even if the GP will probably not notice the difference. Glad to finally see a UK coaster on there. Even if it is just the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Why on earth is there not a single coaster on there from Alton towers or Thorpe park?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Watching the new Insane Coaster Wars episode right now. The show narrator doesn't sound very enthusiastic compared to in the previous seasons, which is kind of funny because I thought he used to be too enthusiastic, but I do like the coasters that are being featured. I knew that Iron Rattler was going to win the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 ***SPOILER ALERT*** I was expecting phantoms revenge to get a higher score than it did. I honestly thought it would get higher than la Avalancha. But agreed, it was awesome seeing Elissa on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I enjoyed seeing RMC so well spotlighted with Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler! RMC are definitely a force to be reckoned with. I can attest to their greatness on New Texas Giant which blew me away back in '11 thanks to the bash that Robb & Elissa threw. It was also great to see Elissa having fun on the show. Thanks for all you and Robb have done to help me get to visit some amazing parks and rides over the years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 For some reason, I had my DVR set to record it. All of the outcomes were pretty predictable. I also loved Elissa's acting talents, as her dialogue was full of things she normally wouldn't say. It was almost as if she was thinking to herself while filming "I can't believe I'm saying these things!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
