tinhead Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) Found this while i was surfin the funny video clip sites. check it out. http://www.dontlookdown.org/images/coaster_stunt.wmv EDIT: A few members thought the page the video was hosted on was a bit to close to the PG 13 limit. so i have downloaded it and hosted it on my server to make it safer to view.

CoasterCrazy Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I thought the site was PG-13! I have seen the video before.
CoasterCrazy Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 what isnt PG 13 about that video It's the links around the video!
tinhead Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 Ah I see what you mean, but the pics are not obscene or erotic, the just sponsor links.
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Wow that would have been a mess if he got hit :shock: . But I think this thing is somehow fake. It seems like an unreasonable risk.
tinhead Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 I think your right as the coaster goes over the first drop twice, unless they are running 2 trains or it has two lift hills, I have never ridden this coaster so i woudn't know, so if anyone does let us know please.
TConwell Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 My 15 year old son walked behind me and saw the page and was like ... Whoa! Dad!
coasterfreak101 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 ^Yeah, I agree. It doesn't seem real at all. Look how fast the coaster goes at the beginning, then it's at the top of the lift. I've seen many pics of Desperado, and the coaster exits out of the building right into the lift from what I've seen. So, this stunt looks really fake, and that was way to close!
trustkill22 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Bingo right there and I like the way he looks around when that one guys like 12 seconds.
tinhead Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 This is the way the site looked to me on my machine, nothing bad as far as i can see. Maybe it looks different on your machines i don't know, but i have changed the link now.
trustkill22 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Ya that was site. I visit that site sometimes to see some of the most recent funny videos so. But that will make people happy now that its hosted on a PG-13 site
MagnumForce Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Notice how the train makes a shadow, but Lance doesn't. Definitly fake. The Cheesey Midi Music really adds to the 1991 feel of the whole thing.
Teddymonster Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Wow! That was so amazing! Ugh, I hate big-scale "magic tricks" like this. "Watch as Mr. Overrated makes the entire city of New York disappear before your very eyes!"
TConwell Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 It is just bogus ya'll ... I mean, there is no way to stop something like the train should it go wrong -- IMO, it just makes no sense to try something like that -- well, unless you are like Chris Angel or something, and Lancie-Boy here sure ain't at that level of insane magic! BTW -- I saw this one live on TV ... wasn't convinced then either!
YoshiFan Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I couldn't tell if there was a block brake or not from the video but if there was, they could have just held the train on the block brakes until he got free.
TConwell Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah, I guess that could be a posibility man ... I guess that would make more sense since although they had one shot on him - the clock could have been started whenever as could holding the train since we could not see it running the whole time. However, with a camera mounted steady -- any amount of shots/takes could have been done to ensure it "looked" like one continuous shot.
Blazen_AZN Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 ok, now, is it just me... or did the train pass through his foot?? i can't really tell, but i think it did
trustkill22 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I was just about to say ya it does. I saw this video a while with other people and we determined it did.
Corkscrewed Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah, it looks totally staged. If the ridiculous number of cuts didn't give it away, it was the fact that it went over the LONE lift hill... twice. The only thing I could imagine was that he unlocked himself in a separate sequence w/o the train running, then jumped off in another sequence just before the train came by (relying on his own dexterity not to get himself killed). Or they just plain did it with green screen. Or if they did have the coaster running as he tried to escape, they had it so that the mid course brakes would stop it if he was behind schedule, but that's pretty risky as well, so I vote for the green screen/two shot theory.
M_Force_4_ever Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 yeah that must be staged, not only does his foot pass through the train but with all those takes...oh no magic is an illusion
Gnome Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 so old, don't know why you people always feel like you have to post it every time you dig it up.... :?
Justin Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Wow that same girl must live in the UK AND MIchigan! WOW!!...
