Spotted that this was on Quest (UK) last night - not sure if its scheduled for a repeat yet (not watched it yet either), TV guides don't show it in the next few weeks.

ahh ok. That makes sense. The exploded animations were pretty cool in that show. A nice touch to explain things better.^ yep that's it, but billed as "Rise of the Machines : Mega Rollercoaster" rather than MegaMachines.

I just finished it, it's good to watch Helix on TV for an hour but the relentless over-hyping of the 3 enthusiasts throughout the whole programme is pretty nauseating.
They couldn't resist putting a bit on the Smiler crash in there too; it's like an unwritten rule these days. Definitely worth a watch though.

Yep it's not bad ; lot of good visuals, but the faux-drama and the "coaster critics" stuff is all a bit of crap. (I like the idea of being a "critic" rather than a "goon" though, we should adopt that )
(did appear that it was originally produced as that MegaMachines series, but repackaged into that Rise of the Machines ; there was a bit of discussion over on the ECC facebook group (from the "critics") about it all last summer)

It's almost as if I've already seen this somewhere...

I just rediscovered this which I remember watching as a kid:
It has plenty of retro charm, some nice views of Thunderlooper in the background, and some interesting analysis (Jerk & Jounce) of Nemesis.
However beware of the extremely dull interviews, occasionally wrong physics explanations, and laboriously detailed analysis of every corner and drop of the Pinfari at Wicksteed Park!

Didn't really know where to put this one, but just a quick progress video on the new Pleasure Beach hotel (filmed by Cheshire & Lancashire news).
It looks a lot taller set against The Big One than I'd initially expected... perhaps it's just the angle or because Coasters was pretty small in comparison. No more Icon view either..

Yes, Will Pemble! I've followed the construction of his projects for a while now. He's a genuinely great guy with a real knack for building stuff. Love his videos.
