trustkill22 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Well, Last night (March 23rd) on Discovery Channel (in Canada) was Building The Biggest "Rollercoasters". I watched the first half and it was pretty good. I know there is a topic here discussing it but I was wondering if anyone caught it? And if you want to see it I have it recorded on tape and I might post it on the net maybe as a torrent file or something so if you guys want i'll put it up.
coasterdude5 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I don't think its been aired in the U.S. yet.
PkiJake Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah it hasn't aired here in the US. It is the one with Beech Bend Holiday World, and Six Flags Great Adventure, right. -Jake
trustkill22 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Yes it is Jake. It was on again here in Canada at 4:00 so I watched some more of it and it seems they focus more on The Voyage but it is one of the best I have watched so far just because they're talking more about the construction and the process behind a coaster being built instead of the average show talking about certain parks and rides. And im going to try to have a torrent of it in the next few days. I waill post when its up here.
Canadmos Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I thought they talked more about Beech Bend than any of the others. El Toro definatly had the least airtime. It was a good show though. It would be interesting if they did a followup show showing how each coaster was recieved by the public and how each improved the park.
trustkill22 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Ya that would be a good follow-up show. And ya El Toro definately got the least airtime. I think mostly because everything was prefabricated and they kept saying how it really wasn't a traditional woodie and they were comparing it with Kentucky Rumbler where they were making all the pieces on site and hand cutting and drilling. But after watching it again ya Beech Bend is actually more focused followed closely by Holiday World.
kenshinmac Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Please please torrent it... Preferably something like and MPEG4 file that anyone can play but I can try to deal with most things... Those of us in the US havnen't gotten it yet because Discovery seems to care more for the dumb tweaking shows... Still they did give us Mythbusters so I can't completely fault them.
rcoasters Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I'd love to see a torrent for it because my parents aren't paying for the extra channels and we just have the "basic channels" like CTV, Weather Network etc .. -.-
devltra2 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 It was on the Discovery Channel in the UK tonight, I really have to get over and check out SFGA. There was also a "Megastructures" on National Geographic last week showing Kingda Ka. Makes a change from the usual repeats that we get.
trustkill22 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 AHHHH! I have been dieing to see that Megastructures! News: I will not be able to upload the show because my computer is acting up. Sorry Everyone. I'll still try though.
Divv3k Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I enjoyed the show although they might have wanted to wait a couple of months to finish it as not seeing the rides in action made it feel a bit incomplete. It'd be great to see Discovery do a follow up to this after the rides open and see how they're received. It was also interesting how the managed to contrast the three different coasters even though they're all woodies it put across the point that they're all very different which I liked. Good show! BTW, there’s a torrent version of this and Megastructures available now.
ShoubraStreet74 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 The Megastructures torrent is easy to find. Just google Megastructures torrent and it's within the first few results. Couldn't find the other one though..
DannyBoy Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 The Building the Biggest torrent can be found now too. Shout out to trustkill22! You're from my hometown. I grew up on the SC mountain and ended up moving out to Brampton. DB
PKIDelirium Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Ugh, I can't find it. Can someone PM me a link to the Biulding the Biggest one?
Morcar Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Just watched it. Pretty cool show but would agree that it's a shame it was done before rides were completed. Some final on-ride would have rounded it off nicely. I am so envious about the grat woodies you guys in america have. Would love to ride some of them.
BRoux Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Would love to see this too. All the comments make it sound interesting. Can someone post or PM me the torrent?

trustkill22 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Woops Sorry everyone I was pretty sure I copied and pasted that right. I'm seeding right now and Thank You sickskillz14 for fixing my mistake.
BRoux Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks for the link. It was a bit different from the usual coaster program and I really enjoyed it - especially as the TPR board had an input into the making of it. I wonder if the orginal threads are still around (I wasn't on the boards then) would be interesting to see what was discussed and how it compared to the final program.
