Go to Great Adventure video 2. Wade and Andrew(NYRfan85) are right in the third row and thats all I can point out. The helicopter video was amazing though!

Post by: overlord on July 21, 2006, 12:48:02 PM: ^It did provide for some great footage and how they cut to different shots. The guy carrying the camera in the station isnt that great though. I want to see where we all ran into the queue line. I havent seen anything like that yet.

Post by: OrlandoRocks on July 21, 2006, 11:37:05 PM: This morning was Incredible ! Wade, I can't thank you enough for inviting me to this event it ! Today was my favorite great adventure day ever ! Can?t forget the ops were awesome today also, especially everyone's favorite Keenan. It's a shame they didn't use the footage of us running in the station. I thought that would of been pretty sweet.

Post by: Ogolo on July 22, 2006, 06:36:17 AM: Great job everyone!!
I just watched the show on my ReplayTV.
That second run at 8:30 AM was just amazing with the views from above.
I suppose they had a helicopter to get those shots.
And much better edited than the 7:30 run. I suppose they had 1 hour to get some good footage.
Lots of rides for you guys (slightly jealous)..

And Kristen in the second row!!

If nobody else has it I can grab it off my ReplayTV and do the conversion.

Post by: chilled182 on July 22, 2006, 10:44:01 AM: orlando.. do you have any other pictures of the train my girlfriend actually went on? Im amazed that someone has atleast one of those. It was like bad luck... the ONE time she will ever get on, the cameras were off.

Post by: Kingda Ka- Nitro on July 23, 2006, 04:11:09 PM: Hey guys I'm new here, but new to the coaster world. I've had a season pass about 7 years. Anyway maybe some of you know me from GADV.com.

(http://)Do you guys know where to get the white el toro shirts and res scarves they are wearing in the homepage photo. I REALLY want them so if anybody has ANY way of obtaining them it would really be a help(http://gadvupdates.com/gallery/albums/WadeJ/G0S5552.sized.jpg)

I'll do anything for them.

Thanks for the help and I hope i have a great experience on these boards.
Title: Re: Gadv to be featured on WB11 Morning News this Thurs and Friday!
Post by: chilled182 on July 23, 2006, 08:04:25 PM: they sell the white shirts at the mercado. I cant say the same for the bandana's. We were given them for the WB shoot as well as media day. Im pretty sure you cant get them otherwise. sorry dude

Yea in the beginning of the shoot I was right behind RJ in the middle. Once they added the second train I hung out in the last and second rows.

Title: Re: Gadv to be featured on WB11 Morning News this Thurs and Friday!
Post by: KingdaKaRuler05 on July 28, 2006, 11:17:05 PM: Seems like a great day, guys! That WB shoot was one of the best I've seen, if not that best, especially the aerial shots!

I really need to get back up to the park soon. I've been dying for some more Toro rides! However, work (between my friends and I) has made that quite hard. I hope I can celebrate my 16th birthday next week at the park...

Post by: Deadman on July 28, 2006, 11:59:01 PM: I was down there monday but it was really hot and ET only had one train running until about 2:30, so the line was quite long. Hopefully I have off soon on a nice rainy day.
