It seemed like Robb had a forced enthusiasm when talking about how awesome inversions are last week. ;)

Gisco, I believe there are 6 episodes total. I was going through the channels and couldn't believe I was seeing Robb on TV! That must have been fun to be a part of the entire series.

It is good to see a new batch of this type of show coming around again, hopefully there will be even more episodes.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

No, I'm pretty sure none of the people interviewed (except Robb) were REAL coaster enthusiasts. None of those people had any idea what they were talking about, especially the kid who said Medusa is the best coaster in the country. I'm still shocked by that statement..... :|

Just downloaded and watched the first episode. All I can say is that it is very GP friendly, but there are some bits and pieces for real coaster enthusiasts too.

They should have more commentary from Robb. He does a great job of explaining the elements of a coaster in a way that appeals to almost everybody. GP and enthusiast alike.

So now that the show is over I wanted to ask what was your favorite episode. Mine was a tie between the splintering speedsters and extreme heights episode.
