Cool Blue Flash & Blue Too Video

Hello everybody! It's been a few years since my last post, but I thought this might be of interest for everybody here!

As most probably know, there is this backyard coaster called Blue Flash. A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit John Ivers and his creation. You can read more about that in this aged thread:
http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/...-backyard.html

Last month I was on a huge US trip (33 days, 234 coasters, 10'000km) and again had the chance to ride the Blue Flash and Ivers new creation, the Blue Too. Now I didn't make too many pictures, but I did make some videos. Including POV's of both coasters! So I thought this might be of interest. Enjoy!

Isn't is awesome stuff? I also rode his two coasters a couple of years ago. Did you sign his guestbook? I'm going to whore my trip report here, if you don't mind. Visit it here. I also have videos. A couple of other members have ridden Blue Flash. Marcus and ta2Kx (Dave) have ridden it, but they were there before Blue Too. I think they've got a trip report out there too.

Here are my videos:

I signed his guestbook the first time I visited. I was #198.
You visited a couple years ago? Are you sure? Because the Blue Too wasn't finished until last year I think.
And no proplem linking to your trip report.

I visited in September 2007, and, as you can see in the video, Blue Too's open.

I'm waiting for Marcus and Dave to show up in this thread.
