National Geographic Tuesday Night

Hey, I've been talking about S:TD...err S:TE a lot now that I've ridden it.

I just haven't said anything good about it ;).

According to Tivo's Online Scheduling, this is an episode of Megastructures entitled "Ultimate Roller Coaster". It's on at 8pm and repeats 11pm on 10/25, and is an hour in duration. No other details were given.

And yes, it has been scheduled :)

Wow, a two hour special for one coaster.

Just curious here: Did it actually run for two hours straight without incident? I don't think TTD did it's first season.
I'd sure think it ironic if it didn't.
(I'm not suggesting the show is merely a two hour jaunt on the ride.) just a geeky inquiry.

This is from the National Geographic Channel site

MegaStructures
Ultimate Roller Coaster [TV-G]
Take an eye-popping look at the greatest structures and machines ever created. Get inside these superstructures and uncover the cogs, gears, bells, and whistles that make them work. And learn about all the stops and starts that went into creating these engineering triumphs.

This sounds like its going more into the technology behind the latest high tech coasters rather than a devotion to just one coaster. KK may have been featured in the preview because it is the newest of the giants.

Also, NGC is showing it won't be on till 11/08.

Right On man. Looking forward to it. Thumbs Up!

Where are all the "the [insert roller coaster special here] is just re-runs of all the same stuff. They don't make any new specials" people that usually crop up when someone posts about an RC special being on TV? :)

Tim, who is looking forward to it and needs to get a tape.

Come on now, what's that supposed to mean? There's nothing wrong with me being excited about it.

I'm from canada "BUD"! Ive never seen it or heard about it. Oh yeah, your from the states so you know everything about coasters. Try not being so belittleing when it comes to us less fortunate K.

:-)

Wow you are really ranting on this whole Canadian thing.

Ranting on about what dude. Don't think for one second you guys can bug me about not seeing a supposed old school review on kingda ka. Im from canada, NOT THE UNITED STATES GET IT! WE DON"T GET WHAT YOU GUYS GET. GET IT. DON"T BE SO DISRESPECTFUL. You need to understand in your head were not so connected with the coaster world alright. One thing I don't like about this place is how much everybody thinks there the biggest coaster enthus in the world. Litterally. Some people need to take off there finger bum plug clove and talk so we can respect and understand one another. cool. K

I really don't care, so I'm not sure why you're so worked up about. It's just interesting you assume people do care, and somewhat amusing actually.

"...so we can respect... "

I don't think you know what respect means, WoS...

Saying im ranting on about canada shows you have no respect for my country. If you didn't care about my comment, you wouldn't have said anything. Look respect up in the dictionary bud!

Wow. This is silly.

Debate usually flies to a degree around here, but this is going nowhere and making no sense.

I think I'm closing it. If you're interested in catching this show make a note of it before this thread falls from the radar.
