TV Alert tongiht 8/24

Thanks crashmando, I'll be tuning in.

Great thanks a lot, will do.

Thanks Crash.

Cool... It's been a while since I've seen a new show featuring roller coasters.

Even thought this will likely not focus on Coasters alone, I will still definatly watch it.

I'm watching now, and a very small portion is focused on coasters, although they did show many coasters.

Nobody said it was a solid coaster show. It must have been filmed in the last 2 months cause Viper is gone when they interviewed that one dude.

If you're like me and are reading this for the first time at 10:39pm. Just want to let you know there is a replay tonight at 1am ET. *** Edited 8/25/2005 2:40:21 AM UTC by Floorless Fan***

I finally got an idea of how the hydralic launch system works! The train segment was really interesting too. Thanks for giving us the heads up! *** Edited 8/25/2005 3:29:25 AM UTC by Coreo81***

I have to say the part where it did come on was interesting, they really did make the coasters seem important i mean showing quite a few of them. That guy that was head of i forget said he could walk by and just decide to ride, ehh that irks me a bit. He does have power but it was like he was shoving it in others faces. I get to ride when i walk by, and others dont. I dont have a problem with him talking about the ride and all that, but he seemed a bit past the people he was promoting the ride to in that sense, but other than that informational like what.

I missed it!!!.....does anyone know if they'll repeat it again???

This was a "Modern Marvels" show, so the odds are that it will be repeated quite frequently. Just be on the lookout for the one entitled "World's Fastest Machines".

And the fastest thing on rails goes 6450 mph and pulls 150 g's. Amazing stuff!

yea...i'll be on the lookout. but do they spend a good amount of time on KK?

Not as long as the other segments.

about 5 mins but the show is a good watch. Fastest car, boat, train, coaster, ride which was the rail thingy that can not have a person on it anymore.
