since i don't have the national geographic channel, can someone tell me what the show was like? i was a bit saddened i didn't get to watch it. screwy basic cable!

[Director_Guy]

It was about several things, actually. It had things on why people like roller coasters (with cemichal happenings in our brains) and why some people keep coming back for more. It talked about the sensation of being weightless and how space travel is and how the take planes thousands of feet in the air and basically fly like a giant roller coaster in huge parabollic curves to give the sensation of weightlessness.

They talked about how LIMs are used to launch coasters, along with cables, and how jets take off using a steam launched catapult. It had some more stuff on the psychological effects that coaster enthusiasts go through on a ride and the same for coasterphobes. Lastly, it talked about the race to be the tallest, fastest, most insane coaster and what lengths it may go to. They had a sequence where a roller coaster would be built using San Fransisco's cityscape. That included a drop from the tallest building there and ending with giant hills on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Oh yeah. There was also a short segment on the guy who built the roller coaster in his back yard.

I think Cedar Point paid for this show, because most of the rides were from there and when they mentioned other parks' rides, they mentioned how they break down alot..... Cedar Point's rides never break down, I guess.

It was a good show, though. Possibly the best I've seen.

i love it, so alls i do is i jsut record it and wen i get bored or feel like looking at coasters, i just turn it on, it was pretty good and directors guy i think ur right, all's they showed was pretty much the rides and rolelrcoasters from cedar point. Lol in the beginnign of the show i laughed, because there like and einstein never had sex, but at the end of the show, that would be amazing if they did that rollercoaste ron top of the new golden gate bridge.
