TV show alert:

Tuesday at 10P. On the discovery channel. There is a show that is called "build It Bigger". The paticular episode is about coasters. It does show a couple more times through the week.

Peace, Mikey

thanks, i was wondering when they would show that.

Looks like it should pretty much be a huge Busch Gardens commercial. They'll be documenting the building of Griffon, Looking at the mechanics of Sheikra, and, appearantly, from the commercial, be riding Montu. I think It's also going to be going over the construction of Renegade, as well...

Build It Bigger - Episode 6

Danny Forster launches headlong into scream engineering --- building, designing and riding some of the greatest roller coasters on the planet. Danny works with two construction teams who create every exacting detail to make the ride both scary and safe.

10:00 pm (60 minutes)

Interesting. It's episode 6, but the series premiers tomorrow, so either the coaster one isn't for a few weeks, or they used a dartboard to number their episodes.

No it is Episode 6 because the series isn't all that new, they had it before, took it out, then sent it to viewers again calling it a new show.

I lost count as to how many coasters he refered to with the article "The." "The Griffon" "The Renegade"

I lost count of how many times he stated he was scared. I understand that you have a fear but honestly, the whole damn show?

Aside from his idiocy I did enjoy the show and wish they would do this kind of stuff for more coasters being built.

i thought it was ok.they didnt seem to go everywhere to see different places.they mainly stayed in Bush Gardens.but otherwise it was cool they showed how to make them.

I felt sorry for those guys that had to work on Renegade. It was damn cold. I think they said the wind chill was like 30 below and that yo uwould get frostbite in around 10 minutes. That makes for some rough working conditions.

Sugarbritches!!! I laughed so hard at those guys building griffon.

LMAO, I thought that was the funniest thing I heard during the whole show. I loved the fact that he was wearing Jordache jeans and they got all over him for it.

The host of the show (Danny?) seems really afraid of heights and roller coasters. I think it would have been really funny to see him get to climb/ride a coaster like Kingda Ka or Millennium Force...

Although Griffon is tall, I'm not sure I agree with highlighting Renegade in a show called "Build It Bigger". This show would have been more appropriate highlighting rides like Kingda Ka or Millennium Force...

Oh, and just for the record, I beat this topic by 2 weeks:

I thought it was a good show, but when they were showing the on ride POVs I did not want to watch this guy that I already don't care for. I want to see what the ride is! I guess it did make it easier to just show the main elements, but still.

I don't think this is just an enthusiast opinion either, because I didn't say anything and both of my parents mentioned that they wanted to watch the ride, not him.

I saw it, it was alright. The host was terrible tho. He was a pu**y and very annoying.
