robbalvey Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Renegade opened today at Valleyfair and we have a POV video of the ride. First off, let me say that the ride is AWESOME! You really need to get to the park and ride one of the best GCI woodies to date! This is a 'raw' POV shot on Thursday during some test runs. We're shooting more video tomorrow and we'll have a traditional "TPR Video" soon enough for you, but we wanted to share the POV to celebrate the ride's opening day! Enjoy! --Robb ps. BTW, if you have viewing the .mpg file in Internet Explorer, try moving or deleting these two files from your /windows/system32 folder: mpeg2data.ax mpg4ds32.ax Filmed with permission of the park. Please do not take your camera on any roller coasters without proper permission. renegade.mpg Renegade POV! renegade.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 WOW ROBB! Great video! Renegade looks amazing! Is it just me or does the ride look more smooth than most wooden roller coasters? ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Awesome POVs I can't wait untill tomorrow for the meet. Robb, will you guys be around Renny all day, because I won't get there until about 12:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper2 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Wow Robb, that coaster looks freakin sweeet. Thanks for the POV. I agree it looks smooth and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Nail Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Looks excellent, I'm looking forward to riding this in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Wow! You have really out done yourself this time, Robb! Renegade looks awesome! The speed never lets up, and looks like are some major pops of airtime around every smooth twist and turn. Another crazy, twisted, out of control woodie that GCI still proves to kick ass at. -Zach "Yay for backwards POV's!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Any way to get a downloadable version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thanks for the POVs Robb! It really does look like an amazing ride. I'll get there someday. -Nick C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 That really looks so awesome! I can't wait to ride it in August! I love the back seat POV. Ever since I saw the Nemesis back seat POV I think it's really a cool idea. Nice video Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Any way to get a downloadable version? I've just uploaded the downloadable version. Sorry it took so long. The hotel wi-fi is REALLY slow and it took like 45 minutes to upload each file! Glad you like the POV! I'm actually hoping to shoot a better one tomorrow morning since the sun should be in a much better place. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydawg149 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Wow, whatever that rattling noise was, that was damn annoying! Renegade looks sweet! I had my doubts but it actually looks like a great ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Nice video Robb. I just rode Renegade, and it is fantastic. btw, I noticed you're the only one riding Renegade, from the shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 wow! far more intense looking than i thought it would come to be. Robb, how was that high banked s-curve? that part looks so aggresive and sweet... thanks for the vid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 I noticed you're the only one riding Renegade, from the shadows. Heh, I think you might have been right! They sent me out quite a few times either by myself or with maybe 1 or 2 other riders. Other than the guys from GCI, there weren't many people around on Thursday. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwgbdork Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 It really looks like there is a ton of airtime on those s-curves!!!!!! Gotta love the backwards POV!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Gotta love the backwards POV!!!! Yes, those backwards POVs are starting to feel/look more intense than the forwards ones! Good 'n freaky they is... Nice ones, Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pete Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Excellent POV Robb, looks like Valleyfair have a winner on their hands. Also top marks for GCI for making another excellent looking woodie, shame I live a few thousand miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadley Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I envy you people who call Valleyfair home. We get a recycled flyer (Firehawk), and you get this thing of beauty known as Renegade! What an awesome looking coaster...treat her good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowfanman Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 That thing doesn't let up from start to finish! Love it! Thanks for the POVs Robb! They were very "informative". I didn't realize how crazy this ride was until now! -Jahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba83 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Definitely sounds different than I am used to, clackity, clack clack, clack clack! Looked fun though for sure. Any ideas on why it was making that sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
