Finally a new coaster show. Its still on right now on the Travel channel and will air again sometime in the late hours.

Anyway it was so nice to finally see a new coaster show and it even showed Firehawk & Fahrenheit.

I really only found one problem with the show but it was small. Anyway they were talking to a HP manager/ceo or whatever he was and they were talking about roller soaker and he said it's the only one of its kind in the world.

Now i would expect park guest or even media to get that wrong but there was no excuse for him not knowing about others.

If you are going to make the statement that its the only one in the world do some research first. Thats all i ask.

Ahhh, haha. I was changing channels and I saw this was on. I'm watching it as well too. Generally, all of it's new, some stock footage like usual, but not a bad show, though the guy with the goggles on Kingda Ka is a bit much.

It's part of a new Travel Channel series titled, "Extreme" that takes a look at different 'extreme' things. "Extreme Water Parks" will be on August 13th and "Extreme Sea World" airs August 27.

Yeah I agree. I recorded it from earlier and just got done watching it. It was a great show. Nice to see a new coaster show on Travel Channel.

That was funny. All i could do was laugh at him. He was a little weird.

I know that was hilarious. I'm going to go to like Dollywood and ride Thunderhead with goggles on and see what people say lol. If anyone asks me any questions, I'll be like "I'm wearing these goggles to protect my eyes from the speeds of 60 mph" lol.

LOL. Just make sure i don't see you cause i'll call you out in front of everyone!

I can only imaging what the rider beside him was thinking. I'll bet when he goot off the ride he died laughing.

That was also the first time i had even seen Fahrenheit in action.

I only hope more new shows come along in the future. If they need help that bad i'll be more than welcome to host them.

My buddy called me a little while ago and told me he saw my daughter on the Firehawk at Kings Island in Cincy. Going to have to tape the 1am show and check it out. Small world!

It was a good show...I'll be watching it again at 1 AM!

As for that guy.....yeah, that was funny. But 100 Rides on Kingda Ka is cool.

Me and everyone in my crew will have a special tribute for him at Cedar Point in a few weeks...we'll all ride Top Thrill Dragster with Goggles on, haha.

Heck yes! I wanted to do this all the time. I tried writing a company once about this but it was sent to the wrong address. I am an Aviation Photographer & Photo Journalist for an ARCP Production Company and I am also an actor so all that kind of fits in my interests (although I will be a Fighter & Airshow Pilot one day). But in the meantime that could be something to do.

We should write them and see if they need some hosts for some rollercoaster shows. Or we could make our own and see what they think...haha.

Anyone up for it?

I mean, think about it...it could be called "The Coaster Crew" or something cool like that......haha

You know i am. I wrote a letter to Discovery Channel after they came to Carowinds in 2004 and filmed a show about coasterphobics.

That was alot of fun doing that show and would love to do more.

Haha, lets do it then. We all have what it takes to be hosts.

And of course we're what people would call "Ride Warriors"...we aren't afraid.

We could be called "The Fearless Bunch", haha.

I can't wait for this show to come on again...only a half-an-hour, I missed the first half last time so yeah....

I'm about to watch it again as well but only to get the guys name from HP who said Roller Soaker was the only coaster of its kind in the world.

It just disgusts me to see that people who are larger than me fit on fahrenheit and to know that I wont fit on because I have broad shoulders. They dont make rides for people that are over 200 lbs. Im watching the 1AM showing, and I know that me at a stable 290, ride operators tell me i will fit on, 325 lb Women get on rides, and I dont. It just sucks to be such a fan and to know that I wont be able to go on any of these rides, except maybe roller soaker.
