This actually looks really interesting. I wonder how credits will be handled, since it seems unlikely that this will be considered the same ride.

Hot coffee splash to the face! How can you be a crazy coaster guy if your more exited about getting on TV? But you know what? That is way f'ing cool too. Here come your 15 minutes. Unless they edit you out that is. [:p]

We will all want a TR/PTR report as well.

Thanks for enduring my...humor.

Lol I was totally joking. Theres like a 1% chance of being able to see me on TV. Maybe they will take some stills, though for brouchers and stuff.

Anyways It will be super interesting to see everything tomorrow and get to ride. I'm not sure how much we'll be allowed to say or even take pictures, but I'll definitely report what I can. We just have to remember it's a commercial shoot, not a preview event. With that being said, they are allowing GP to come for it so I don't think they can expect too much secrecy. Tomorrow morning will be interesting :)

Yeah, Im glad I saw it too before it was taken down. Maybe someone posted without proper permission? :P

It looked like airtime heaven, though :)

14 moments of airtime, ranging from El Toro strength to perfect floater. Such an incredible, smooth ride that offers a little bit of everything.

I may have a #1 steel coaster.
