Hey everyone!

We also have 5 brand new POV videos from some pretty "rare" coasters:
- Atlantis Adventure POV (AquaTrax)
- Eagle Fortress (Crazy Arrow Suspended)
- Phaethon (Newish B&M Invert)
- Fantasia Special (Arrow looper with *three* corkscrews)
- Horror Express (this crazy Vekoma looper!)

Here are a few photos and some videos from that update:

Mmm...AquaTrax...yummy!

An Arrow looper with *THREE* Corkscrews??? OMG!

A nearly brand new B&M invert in Korea! Who knew?

Woah! What's this crazy through the trees bunny hop coaster?

Would you believe the world's tallest looping Vekoma?

An Arrow suspended in the top ten? YES!

Joey! Did YOU write all that graffiti???

Yup, there was some credit whoring too!

And I'm not even sure what this is...but we rode it...and come out alive!

And yes, all the crazy TPR antics are included also!

And for a couple of awesome POV videos download these NOW:
Lotte World's Atlantis Adventure (AquaTrax!!!)

Well somehow Alvey has that in. Where is a good adage? You love to hate him but you've got to love him too. He's been good for opening the door for enthusiasts like myself.

Alvey won't hear me but the white coaster, red track with the ferris wheel is at Grand Children's Park. I did that. It's called 88 Train I believe. It has a subway stop so did Seouland.

Eagle Fortress lives up to its billing. #3 coaster in the world in 2007; it deserves the respect. Rode that too. It's not everyday that you get the easel of using a mountain and oh how well it is used. It might be a real life Talon. The video does the ride right. The other ones I've seen on the Tube suffer from the lack of resolution that shows how the coaster swings and how the 2nd half is laid out. It's too bad T-Express wasn't there last year and Lotte World failed a government inspection/was closed for me then.

Nice!

I wonder how many chances I will get to travel overseas once I get to Alaska.

Eagle Fortress looks craecrae.. and I've yet to get on a suspended period.
