No, not yet, they still need to edit and whatnot.

Does anyone that was there know when it will be finished and ready to air?

Not sure actually, but I actually watched most of it. Boo-yah!

Great pictures guys! Chloe and I had a blast. She went to school the next day and told everyone riding Kingda Ka in front seat in the rain was like getting hit in the face with baseballs. LOL

Bubba Z · « **Reply #36 on:** October 31, 2007, 09:36:59 AM »

^That's awesome. After my ride in the front row the girl next to me kept saying " Am I bleeding am I bleeding" And I said... No Wade, your fine

*That was a joke and hopefully doesn't effect me from going to other planned events

PcMan · « **Reply #37 on:** October 31, 2007, 09:45:14 AM »

Thats a funny one Bubbs

I asked the Film crew they said Dec. Jan
but from what I know these normally take 3-4 months to air ?
I will have it on DVD when it airs

I was watching Really Big Things last night and just loved how Matt is in his own world. Everyone at this copper mine just looked at him like he was nuts, or maybe they just didn't understand english that well.
I can't wait to see how he interacted with the ride machanics at Kingda Ka. I'm sure there was lots of good stuff shot that day the we missed out on!

Wade, I didn't laugh at Bubba's last comment at all.

Very funny...

I just can't wait to see the footage of us flying over the top hat from the top of the tower!

Were there camera people at the top of the tower for one of your rides? I always wondered if someone can be at the top while the ride is going. I really want to be at the top when a train goes over to see everyone's reactions. They should put a camera on the top so the people in line and in the station can watch, on small tv screens, everyone's faces at the top. It would also be cool if they had a webcam so you could watch the people go over the top hat from home.

WadeJ · « **Reply #41 on:** November 01, 2007, 07:48:39 PM »

Yes, they had a camera guy up there and on the launch while we were riding so it should allow for some amazing footage for the show. Of course, I missed out getting a seat during the part lol

I agree though, they should have monitors placed in line or maybe in the station so that guests waiting can see everybodys reaction up there.

PcMan · « **Reply #42 on:** November 01, 2007, 09:36:40 PM »

3 cameras

one at the end of the launch
one at the top
one shooting up the downward spiral

CycloneMan · « **Reply #43 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:46:41 PM »

I feel bad for the poor guys who had to stand up there in that weather!

Not a good idea...
I can see that GAdv crowd giving the camera bird as they crest Kingda Ka.
And given that it would be video...who know what they would think up.
I don't think it would get a PG rating!!
It is hard enough to get a clean El Toro picture.

peterpjr · « **Reply #45 on:** November 02, 2007, 07:57:43 AM »

The one place where they did have a video and I think they need to put one back is on Daredevil Dive. If people are paying for the experience of riding DD, most would would love a video documenting it. For some reason, Kodak decided not to shoot videos at DD when they took over the contract.

If I recall (after all the blood loss, who knows), the only girl riding in the front was with me and she had winter GLOVES on! So Bubs, how did those gloves work for you protecting your face and all?

geez that took me a while to come up with lol

Bubba Z · « **Reply #47 on:** November 06, 2007, 04:40:19 AM »

^ lol, did the wife help you with that one while eating dinner.

Don't make me lock this thread so you can turn around and unlock it.
