Badnitrus animation

Keith posted his Dragster animation. Check it:

http://badnitrus.coasterbuzz.com/coasters.asp?id=25

The high resolution version will only be available to Coasterbuzz Club members. This isn't some ploy to get sign-ups, it's to control bandwidth usage. Last time he posted video the entire connection was saturated, and you could barely hit the site at all. This should prevent that. Club members can see the high-res, 30 MB QuickTime version here:

I thought someone said that the animation on Cedar Point webpage was done by Badnitrus. If so is this one any different or just a higher resolution?

Oh believe me, this one is different. Badnitrus did not do the official animation, but after watching this high-res version, I can't help but wonder why Cedar Point didn't contact them for it. This animation was simply unbelievable. I don't think you can get any closer to the real thing!

Yeah, the official animation was pretty poor. I especially hated the plastic people in the front seat. That, and it sure is cooler to have Power Tower and MF in the background.

I'm really impressed by the detail of the rest of the park, like Mantis and other landmarks that you see during the video. All the extra touches that are there are mind-boggling for someone who has no clue how one puts this stuff together This must have been a lot of work.

I'm getting the "this image is being leeched..." message when I try to view the Badnitrus site, does anyone know the exact setting I have to tweak to fix this. I recall doing something in the past, but I don't remember exactly what it was.

Wow.... it looks SO REAL....

It just makes me want to be at CP alot more now!

I think I am in love as well.

Once again proving that Badnitrus is the god of coaster animations. What is CP thinking not putting their talents to good use?! Simply incredible how much Keith and company have progressed since his renderings of MF...

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

That video is intense.

Some parts could be mistaken for real life footage.

That's really amazing, and I can't believe Cedar Point chose the animation they did over this.

I bet we know who CP will contact for their next ride's promo (or at least I hope so)! What an amazing gift he has to create such wonderful works of art. It' s just that, a work of outstanding art. I can't even start to imagine how many hours was put into that treasure.

That is a really awesome video. I especially love the view from the side of the train as it goes through the circuit.

I agree Rider some of those shots look so real. Cedar Point definitely should've went to them to make the video.

All I can say is, "Wow!"

Oh, and, "Thank you!"
