Sea Paradise/Cosmoworld & SFSL Videos

[robbalvey]

Hey all!

 

I have just posted the Sea Paradise/Cosmoworld and Six Flags St. Louis videos to the main video download page:

http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/video.htm

 

Enjoy the crazy Japanese coasters, the "boat jumpers" and even the automatic popcorn machine!

 

You can still download them in the "Memebers Only" section too, but now they are available for public consumption too!

 

Enjoy!

Ooh! It's my current home park!

 

Sadly, Sea Paradise has removed the Dolphin Coaster, which means that fewer coaster folks will likely visit this very nice park.

Great videos!

Lots of random comments all the way through. Funny

 

That diving vanish coaster looks really, really awesome. Especially at night. It's cool that they went through the effort of giving is all the splash and light effects.

Although I do kinda wish you'd included ground-level footage of the coaster diving into the lake. You know, without being able to see the hole so it does actually look like it is vanishing

 

What's up with that weird arcade game with the gun and the little jumping bean (?)

 

Thanks for sharing!

I do too but I think the coaster only ran like three times total while we were there, and one of them was while we were on it! The place was completely empty so getting any kind of offride footage meant waiting 15 minutes or longer for a dispatch.

 

Sorry it didn't satisfy your coaster footage needs. I'll try better next time.

I really like that shot of blue fall where the camera is facing straight down at the ground, it really shows how high that thing is.

How tall is Blue Fall?

[rollermonkey]

^ 107 meters

 

I could TRY to get off ride of Diving Coaster: Vanish. I live about 15 miles away...

Sounds a bit like the problems with trying to film Ghostrider, except Ghostrider has a queue

 

Well you certainly did well with the few opportunities you got then!

Well done on holding the camera so steady on Blue Fall! That ride has suffered from some nasty track warping in a couple of the runs.

The SFSTL video is awesome, I love the music with it. It's very fitting and reminds me somewhat of the Batman theme song in the station.

 

I'm guessing that this was filmed in the 2000-2002 period since the line for the Boss was all the way to the wrap-arounds which are rarely filled up anymore and the wood is still a rich brown.

"nasty track warping..."

Yup, you are correct! 2002 I beleive!

I love the japanese vending machines. Glad it was recorded in action. The rides look great. I cant wait to plan my trip to japan. The city in the background looks like a busy metropolis. The song for the video is awesome too, the vocals are amusing.

[robbalvey]

The city setting for Cosmoworld is probably one of the most impressive settings for a park ever!

 

AWESOME!

[HAYASHI]

^ i most definately agree.. with the evening city lights setting, the urban planning and architecture fits well together with the park.

The Sea Paradise/Cosmoworld video is awesome!

 

Blue Fall looks like an awesome drop ride!
