Did Anyone See TTD Being Filmed on 6-28-05

I was at CP on 6-28 with my work and TTD had a camera crew video taping the ride. I was just wondering if anyone else saw this. Thanks

They were filming for the History Channel.

Why would they put TTD on the History Channel? And when will this program be appearing?

Yeah, I would like to know when this program is on. I love watching TTD on tv.

They were there filming a strata coaster that actualy runs.


what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The history channel eh?
Would this have to do with anything bholcomb?: (start at the bottom and go 3 questions up)http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun_online/blog/index.cfm?entry=ade200d8-09c7-4df6-b3a2-bf323e83f336

The only difference is that Tony said that he just spent the day(the 28th or 29th I think) with a production company that was filming a series for the History Channel Canada.

That would probably be the answer then, but I hope it will air on the History Channel here in the U.S. as well.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

who knows? But The funny Thing was TTD kept breaking down on Tuesday when they were filming.

Not to go into an entirely different discussion but, how bad was Dragster running Tuesday? (I know it was down Monday for some maintenance)

Anyway, I'm sure they only needed a few good shots of Dragster running anyway.

Are you kidding? It takes many many many shots of the coaster to get a good one for the show.

It takes even more to make a commercial.

Getting just the 'right shot' isn't easy.

Shoot, shoot, shoot some more and then pile through 6 hours of footage to find the right shots.


Goodbye MrScott

They weren't "filming" anything. Film is dead.

I also saw them outside the park across from the Millenium, all i saw was the camera guy get a picture of the lake or something, then they were gone, it was strange.

To answer your question TTD 120mph, it was running pretty good, a few minor breakdowns, at night it was running bad, couldn't even get up half of the hill, probably because of the rain that day


While in line count time between trains on track, divide that number by waiting time on front sign, multiply that number by number of people per train, and you'll get an approximate number of people in line!

I'll toast to that.

Yeah just ignore that.:P I should have known better seeing that my friend and I had to make a short video for school a while back. We had 2 hours of film but could only use 30 minutes of it(half of it was credits;)). The editing was torturous! :)

Hey ya never know, I just might show up in Good ol' America.

On professional level cameras, they still use film- however they record on it digitally to get the high definition progressive scan broadcast. It is like a miniDV camera (you can get at your local Circuit City) thats on steroids.

I wasn't really thinking of film as the physical film, I was more refering to the movie industry. Good films are hardly ever made and action flicks rule supreme. Film is dead. I'm sure I took Jeff's quote out of context, but it was fun anyway.
