Wb11 Tv Shoot At Astroland
« on: September 17, 2006, 09:37:40 AM »
My dad got home from work and dropped me off at Astroland at 5:45. At 6:00 Am they started filming with 6 people (including my self), Larry Hoff and his crew on the Scrambler. In between takes I fell asleep in the car. After about 3 rides, they made us ride the big Apple. Yes the Big Apple (Pinifari Wacky Worm). There were long breaks in between shoots.Two more people came. They made us do th tea cups, twice. I span out of control, it was intense. Then we did the Carousel, which we broke while they were filming (The motor went dead).

Then around 7:30 we moved up to the Water Flume. Anthony (MedusaDude from GADV.com) then met up with us. We did two takes on the Water flume. The first time I barely got wet. The second time, apsolutely drenched, that everyone looked and was like, "Holly ----!" It was also really cold out! We ate breakfast (bagels and a doughnut) and we went on Break Dance. Originally they were supposed to film on Top Spin 2, but it broke last Saturday and they never bothered to fix it! Break Dance they ddi opne shoot, and they ran it slow. Slower than rodeo Stampede. Anthony and I were pissed, btu oh well. We were finished and Anthony and I left and cought the N train,a nd we went home.


Me at Astrolnad at 5:45 AM.

Thanks for sharing.  It always amazes me how many different places we get to see here.  Thanks sucks about the breakdance and topspin.  I heard they are some of the best around.

The breakdance is simply delicious.  After riding it, I was wishing that Gadv would purchase another one, keep it unthemed, and steal Astroland's Ride Op.  She definitely operated the heck out of that ride.

That breakdance is insane! They give you an opportunity to get off after two revolutions. I stuck it out but I had to forfeit my ride on Top spin afterwards. I was way too dizzy to ride that program. Plus, the fact they hold you in the water well over a  minute long wasn't that appealing to me.
