Sorry to spam. There was a programme on several years ago which followed the building of 3 wooden coasters (I think it was The Voyage, Kentucky Rumbler and El Toro). Can anyone remember what it was called, or better still, find a link? I think it might've been from the series "Big, Bigger, Biggest", but I'm not sure, and google is failing me. (Yes, I've just re-read this whole topic and couldn't see a mention of it. Unless I'm being a total 'tard and missed it?)

Nothing yet. Did I miss it already?
Don't really like watchdog. Makes me feel like I'm a 4 year old in the special class! If I ever meet those two cringeworthy blokes I'm gonna push that bloody bike over!

Ahh it was only on for a second. Not to bring it all up again, but I have more of a problem with the way they messed around with the ap charges than simply the fact that they just started changing. That wasn't mentioned at all. Ho hum...

I actually think Scream if You Know the Answer is a pretty good format. Nice and varied games, good pace and a half decent endgame. I am sick of that balloon popping game though.

The new series is ten times better, what with all the new challenges, but the format for the first series seemed a bit pointless.pothuthic said:Scream if you know the Answer is so dodgy lol, Duncan is a crap host and The Format I dont like really.
But If they like it thats all that counts
Scream If You Know The Answer is making its way over to the USA hosted by Bert Kreischer from Bert the Conqueror. I'm actually kind of excited. Bert's an awesome host, very funny, very charismatic, so I think it'll be interesting to watch him seeing as he always acts terrified on coasters anyway

Just watched an hour long documentary on the making of Kentucky Rumbler, El Toro and The Voyage on Quest - might be repeated, look out for it. It was part of a series called 'Building the biggest'. This episode was predictably called 'rollercoasters'. I was made back in 2005 so it's a little out-of-date, and it is annoyingly inaccurate in places, but good fun and provides a good insight into how different the working styles of GCI, The Gravity Group and Intamin and their philosophies of wooden coasters.
