Hershey Parks's hottest attraction.....The Roller soaker? Bull, yeah it's ok, but I wouldn't consider it a hot attraction. And they can't consider it the Extreme East w/o talking about Superman: Ride of Steel at SFNE.

 

Yeah, no coaster TV program has ever talked about SFNE's superman and I find that a bit offensive.

I've got a TV capture card so I will set them on timed record. As for posting them on here, I'll keep a lookout for the highlights (do we REALLY want to see the same old Magnum footage?). You can be sure I'll post footage (or just screenshots) of Paul Ruben praising SLC's like he did in the last show.

A comment on the Spiderman and DD segments;

 

1. Who says "Da Bomb!" anymore?

 

2. Why did they choose Ice? Fire obviously pwns...

Two things I just noticed from the Hulk guy:

 

1. Since when is enthusiast pronounced En-thu-se-Assed.

 

2. Does Hulk really typically rank among the top 2-3 coasters in the country? Because I've barely ridden anything, and it's not in my top 2-3.

"It's Son of Beast and it doesn't care about you one bit..."

 

"Son of Beast will have you questioning your sanity..."

 

LMFAO!!! Always good for a laugh, like when they said the GA Scorcher has five inversions

 

Paul Ruben. knuff said!

 

- Joe, who can't help but watch a marathon of coaster shows

^Oh well, at least they featured the greatest stand-up ever (looks at banner and sig).

 

"A Brutal spawn..." -Son of Beast

 

At least the Travel Channel got one thing right...

 

I wanna meet Paul Reuben, interview him on what his #1 coaster is, and ask him why SFDL is the greatest park ever.
