I've not watched all of them, but the Inaugural Run on Nemesis was great.

John Wardley looks stunned. Brilliant.

Two things about that video.

1. That coaster looks pretty fun. I like the look of the station with the ride-op pushing the cars, and it actually seems quite fast, especailly as it looks ancient, even in the video.

2. The outfits... :lol:
 
CF-INFO, it told me to post in the forum to rate rides?
i know it wont be right, sum1 help me!,anyway, u basicly look on youtube for rides on tv
 
Not sure whether it really counts (in fact sure that it doesn't really count)...but that "Britain from Above" show on BBC1 (and BBC2) on Sunday night this week I think is about "leisure".... and last weeks had a brief few shots in its introduction of AT "from above"...namely the log flume and Oblivion dropping down.

So one suspects this weeks show might have a bit more of that sort of thing.

(interesting program anyway. brief aerial shots of coasters aside)

?
 
^ No i probably doesn't count, unless it tells you about the rides, and not just airel shots of it
 
I love the one on Big Thunder Mountain Ollie! Really interesting.

The Inaugural run on Nemesis was also pretty good.
 
Its not on TV (well it was if you watch the music channels)
and probably won't appeal to anyone, but Delinquent's new single was shot in Adventure Island!

I was looking at the guide to the park while I was typing so that might explain how that slipped in there. :lol:
 
^ Those Extreme Terror Ride episodes are awsome, cheers! Always good to see some modern videos.

LOL to the guys goggles on Ka as well ha!

That's all of the ones I could find.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. There was this 1996 special I found on YouTube also. It featured stuff like steel coasters vs. wooden coasters, many coaster enthusiasts, and also featured Cedar Point (of course) and construction on the Wildcat at Hersheypark, along with the designer. Does anyone know which one I'm talking about?
