That the footage of Gemini is kinda wrong?
The girl is riding A side (red) but the POV footage is B side (blue) ???
It was shot on the same day because I was there with a few friends...
Ok... maybe I need to go to sleep..

I just got done watching and was about to post the same thing. I was thinking to myslef "wait a sec, Red go's left through the helix not right!"
I noticed that too. I was like, "When did they switch the trains?" I'd say only about 20 people noticed that.
What about the Raptor guru that said the ride was built in 1995?

Again... the show is full of errors.. and the choice for on-rides isn't always the best.. You'd think they'd at least get the stats right...
Even the MF guy miss-quoted something.. But not our Magnum Dan.. making us proud once again...
Keeping it real....

I dont think Millennium Force goes over 94 mph, but i could be wrong.
It doesn't.. this has been argued to death, the sheer laws of physics won't allow it. I was just pointing out that like most shows. It has errors..

I didn't get to see the entire Cedar Point show when it was on so I taped it. It was around 3 in the mouring when I got around to watching the end of it, and when I first saw the ACE guy I thought he was Lars Ulrich the anti-Napster Metallica drummer.
LOL....I thought the very same thing about the Ace guy looking like Lars....funny stuff...
Lars isn't nearly as goofy-looking as the ACE guy. I'm thinking that Lars probably gets more chicks, too! LOL.

Lars is pretty goofy looking - but maybe a tad less.....As for chicks, I know that part is definitely true :-)
If there's something else that I noticed is that on all of the POV's, everybody was "holding on." I would guess the entire train was told to not put their hands up-even the one with Magnum Dan.

Trim brakes-a necessity???
It's because we were all told NOT to put our hands up. Remember the rules.. keep all arms, feet, and hands inside the train at all times.
All those POV trains are full of CP employee's and some special guests. Don't ya think it makes sense for the employee's to follow the rules? You know.. that whole lead by example thing.. heheh

yeah, look behind dan, thats rollocoast (magnum crew) and ride of steel (ccmr crew).
Same thing with those official photos and all, they tell you not to put your hands up for photo shoots - and they tell you to SMILE! ;) We must look good for the cameras, after all.
