Carnage Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Wow Discovery Canada is running a new coaster show? Canada tends to get left out on the coaster shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeliriumTrigger Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've been wondering, will this be shown in HD? Discovery HD Theater keeps running ads with coasters, yet none of the coaster shows are actually in HD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Ok so the question here is what is the legality of someone in Canada recording it and then compressing and torrenting it for us here? Please someone record it and torrent it for us... I really want to see this show. Oh and make it an MPEG4 or Divx or something easy to read...

trustkill22 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Uh Oh Kenshinmac needs a Tivo but so do I. Ya finally a new coaster show up here. I have been waiting for the Megastructures one with the construction of Kingda Ka on I think it was Discovery Civilization and so I got mad because they played half way through the 2005 season for it then stopped showing them so... Oh and I would but its just that I don't have anything with S-video that I can put by my TV to hook up to my PC and I also don't want to get another e-mail from my ISP about seeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Wow Discovery Canada is running a new coaster show? Canada tends to get left out on the coaster shows. And OMG OMG OMG - it's airing on my BIRTHDAY!!!!! Way to go, twist of wonderful fate. MAJOR EDIT : Just went to the Discovery Link. It shows March 23rd for the Canada airing...... um..... please advise??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 DOUBLE POST here. Just reconfirming what I found at the Discovery site: Building the Biggest - Rollercoasters Thurs., March 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT Ever since the American Rosenthal brothers built the Cyclone in 1926, roller coasters have held a terrifying fascination for generations of thrill seekers. The Cyclone quickly became a Brooklyn icon, but in the 1950s families began to abandon the city for the suburbs and the demise of Coney Island mirrored the move from wood to steel in the search for the ultimate gravity defying roller coaster ride. Until now - 50 years later, the wooden coaster is being reborn. "Woodies" offer a very different quality of ride that’s enhanced by a physiological induction of fear. This episode joins the race to build the most terrifying ride, travelling to Indiana, Kentucky and New Jersey where three of the biggest, fastest and tallest wooden roller coasters are under construction. Watch as engineers calculate the winning formula to enthrall, thrill and terrify. So - this is what's there. Please confirm, LizTV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizTV Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Nrthwnd, Yes! Discovery Canada have just changed the air date and brought the episode forward in the series, which is good news. So just to confirm Discovery Canada will air Building the Biggest: Coasters on 23 March at 9pm Glad you are all looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Any idea when the US version will air? I've been wanting to see this ever since it was announced here... Any chances of it becoming annual? Again, any chance that someone can record it in CA so I can watch it without having to wait for the US Discovery to get over their Motor Tweaking and Survival everything... Seriously they just killed Monster House last night and I don't watch anything but Mythbusters and the occassional Coaster show on Discovery these days... Sigh... I remember when it was a really great network, now it is just trying to follow every mainstream trend. It is almost like a semi-educational MTV.

verticalzero Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thank you for the UK dates, 1 day before my Birthday nice timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 So just to confirm Discovery Canada will air Building the Biggest: Coasters on 23 March at 9pm Ah well. For a while it was truly bizarre and interesting in my life. A brand-new coaster program on my birthday...day, heh heh. But - shall watch it on the 23rd, then. Thanks for re-confirming the new date of televising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Bump. Just watched show on Discovery Canada Channel, earlier tonight! It was pretty good, especially the editting and mixing of information, visuals and 'even coverage' of the three coasters profiled. And after what I just saw? I'm sort of rootin' fer the Rumbler, heh heh. Good show. You'll enjoy it (I hope) when it airs in the States & UK. Would be interesting to see how they would handle three steel coasters going for the GP's attention and $. Any suggestions here, on which three...hmmm? (EDIT: BIG Oops. How could I forget! Go JULIE Go! You little "Rumbler Rouser," you! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
