You didn't miss much, turns out there is no Extreme Rides 2003 like TV Guide said. Which is odd, but anyhow the show "Putting Thrill rides to the test" really really sucked. So you didn't miss much at all.

That stupid new show did provide me one laugh. I only watched about 20 minutes and got sick enough to puke from its stupidity, but I did get a laugh. I loved the clip of Scream, where it was going through the interlocking corkscrews. It shows quite well that we shouldn't have ever complained about Shockwave as a parking lot coaster. At least it had some grass, and some trees! Not a few square miles of pavement.

I love the Discovery Channel and Travel Channel. They are the only stations that play the best shows... coaster shows! I can watch one a million times.

Whatever happened to the "Top Ten Coasters" show? Why didn't Discovery show it?

That was a rerun, the only new one was the "Putting Thrill rides to the test" show.

No they already did a Extreme Rides 2003, I remeber seeing it. It has Arcraphobia, and Batwing. This could be 2002 but I remeber watching one with 2003.Now for the Thrill Rides Put to The Test, I thought it was sorta funny, Im glad those to dits won! lol. They were just way to funny! :lol: Their whole stratagy was to scream! lol.I did like the first one, Making a Coaster it was pretty interesting. Except I wish they did like B&M or Intamin instead of Morgan Manufacturing or whatever. :roll:
It's not how high or how fast you build the roller coaster it's how smooth you build it!

Yeah B&M would of been better but they can barely speak english and Morgan grows on me. At first I thought their train were terrible looking but now I kinda like the looks of them. Steel Dragon looks like an amazing coaster to ride.

I watched up to BGT on Travel, so I don't know how the HW portion was. Anyways, it was better than Discovery's, but still not great. They had that... guy... you know, really annoying... really really annoying... who disgraces the sandwich by the same name...

Gosh, I hate some of those border line enthusiasts that don't know a thing but say they like coasters and then they get to host a show and are really annoying.

I checked out some of the Coaster shows on TV. Paul 'Pee Wee' Ruben should never be on TV again(unless if it's Court TV), let alone a Coaster show. I've seen the HW segment, and it looks like I'll enjoy it when I go towards that direction for the first time this summer.
