Supercoasters on NGC

I saw the online preview and an ad on TV for this, looked just like what I would've enjoyed (the forces etc)... very aggravated that Comcast basic cable doesn't include the NGC. Anyone got a DVR that you could YouTube or torrent or something?

I'm not sure of the legal implications of offering it for download, or I'd consider doing it.

any way of hosting that online so i can download it ben? you'd be my new hero!! :)

Well it's still rendering, then I'd have to drive the DVD over to work and offload it onto my server, so if I put it up it won't be for a few more hours.

that's ok - i can pull it from work - our bandwidth is higher there anyways. PM me with details. you rawk!!

PM me too, please, with the details! I'd love to see this; there's no way to get that channel way out here.

(Sorry mods/admins if this is a "me too post")

Great show. Did any of the footage of the different coasters take you right to the potential for Project 2007? The one that struck me was Sheikra. The lift and stop at the top would be awesome overlooking the lake. It also includes a few other elements people are speculating about including a brief trip through water.

Yea that was SWEET - The idea of it hitting water like that coaster did would be really cool. Also, did anyone else notice that almost every single ride in the show (all of the record breakers) were Intamin designed? I also have to say that it was interesting to hear them make negative KK comments - I wonder how six flags feels about that one.

I was surprised to see the orange tape on Millennium Force make it to the video.

I was surprised that they got all the facts right and it wasn't all a big marketing thing. This was something many would find interesting.

Also, what was that Intamin coaster on the computer. Some of it looked like Expediton G-Force, but others could have been something else.

I noticed that too......very interesting looking. Red track, blue supports......hmmmm

And yes I did catch what MJ said. I cont remember what his exact words were but it was basically something like, "I dont want to go higher untill Dragster is working really well."

Crap, I forgot all about it. :( I guess I'll keep looking for more replays of it. I'm catching the last little bit of it right now, but missed the first 50 minutes.

Wouldn't that be hilarious if somehow the layout of the new CP coaster was shown on Cable TV...

I didn't see the show, so I don't know if it showed enough to distinguish anything, but you would think the park would be able to pre-screen the show and edit that out if that was the case.

Somehow, I think they did........but that's just me. The way it looked on the computer and the relation to our current knowledgeof Pro 07.....I must say it really has me wondering.

Well thiy did advertise this on there website so it would not suprise me at all to find out that there was a detail or two about project 2007 on the show... T @ T said to see if we can put the pieces togather and what better way then to slip deatils through a tv program....

Hopefully Ben can take a screenshot of the part they showed of the computer.

I watched the majority of the show (I was flippin back to premium channels), but I did catch alot of the show, and I, too, was impressed with the great depth of detail.

I loved how most of it was Cedar Point. And I won't leave it out, I loved Kings Island's SOB part, as well. I have still got to ride this monster, no matter how rough it is.

And last, but not least, I chuckled everytime at every negative comment on KK. I'm sorry, but, I'm still not over KK.

KK is like the ride in Japan that knocked MF shortly after.

Oh well, great show indeed!

Alright, what part are you guys talking about with the computer?

An approximate time into the show would be helpful.

He said he wouldnt feel comfortable going higher with this technology until Dragster was working consistently for a few seasons.

I started watching the show about 15 minutes into the start of it, so I'd look for it around 20min in give or take a few minutes.

It was a computer screen and they were showing how they calculate the G-forces at every point in a ride, and it was red intamin triangular track with blue supports I believe. If I remember correctly the track looked pretty twisted.
