robbalvey Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hey everyone! The next installment of "Roller Coasters in the RAW" will feature "defunct coasters" and we are looking for footage of coasters that are "gone but not forgotten". For example, do you have footage of: - Wacky Soap Box Racers - Elitch's original Mr. Twister - Hercules - Texas Tornado (Morcambe) - Phantasialand's Grand Canyon Bahn - Geauga Lake's Big Dipper, Villain, Raging Wolf Bobs - Joyland's Roller Coaster - Idora Park's Wildcat - Starliner at Miracle Strip - CNE Flyer - Hypersonic XLC - Katapult - Mountain Flyer - Zingo - Williams Grove Cyclone - Any other "vintage" or newly defunct coaster! - USA or international! The footage must be one or more of the following: - Shot by you without breaking any park rules - Park B-Roll released to media (sometimes given out during media days or coaster events) - Any other public domain footage If you have footage of any defunct roller coasters, please contact me directly via email robbalvey@aol.com or you can send the footage to: Robb Alvey Roller Coasters in the RAW Vintage Footage 24707 Riverchase Dr #7203 Valencia, CA 91355 Footage can be sent on DVD (DVD Video or AVI file), DV Tape, VHS Tape, Beta SP (Park B-Roll), or any other format. If you are sending your originals, we will send the footage back! Any footage that we use we will give you proper credit in the DVD, a free copy of the DVD that it is used in and a $50 credit to the TPR store or for a TPR Trip. Thank you again for your help and support! --Robb Alvey http://www.themeparkreview.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have a VHS tape with Thunderbolt footage from Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, and Big Dipper from Luna Park in Sydney.

pkdcoaster Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey Robb,I can send you some of my stuff of Drachen Fire, Chiller, XLC and a few others. Is there a deadline? cause things are kinda crazy right now. When do you need these by? Thanks, JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have some footage of Hypersonic... but I don't have a camera that can play MiniDVs I'll look for the tapes. If I can find them, I'll send them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you need these by? Thanks, JEFF I plan to release the next DVD in Feb or March. If you have Drachen Fire that would be awesome! I would totally include a good POV of that. Chiller too. I think I actually have a pretty good POV of Chiller and Hypersonic, but please sent it as the more source to work from the better! Do you have Hercules also? I did get a mounted camera B-Roll of Hercules from Dorney Park but more footage is always better! Another one I thought of is Son of Beast WITH the loop! I know there must be a B-Roll of that floating around somewhere.... --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaugalakeinexile Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Robb, I'll go through my Geauga Lake videos tonight to see what I have. I've also posted on Geauga Lake Todays forum that you are looking for Big Dipper, Villain, and Raging Wolf Bobs. I'm sure that someone there has what your looking for.

Capitalize Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I know I have loads of Hypersonic footage on tape... I also should have some of Python @ BGA, and maybe King Cobra from KI. Also, maybe a small clip of the Robin side of Chiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has the B-Roll from the park, that would be awesome! I know they must have done a mounted camera on at least Villain for a press shoot at some point. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Is Laser footage too recent? I have a few great shots of it that would be sad to see go to waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hey Robb I know I have the B roll POV of SOB from 2000 and Drachen Fire somewhere. I can get that on there too if you want. I will try to send it by mid January, depending on work. JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just finished my footage DVD up and mailing my DVD off today. About 37 minutes worth of stuff. Bumping the thread so people do not forget to send in what they got. The more unique footage the better. Thanks again Robb for the generous offer.

Simon Baynham Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hey Robb What useable coaster footage have you managed to lay your hands on so far? Can't you tell I'm looking forward to the third RCitR installment. Simon A. Baynham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 ^ I'm actually in the process of getting CE Vol 12 done now and then I'm going to go through all the footage that I have for Raw 3 and what people have sent me and I'll make a list of what I have and what I need. The list is looking pretty good right now! Being realistic I think both Vol 12 and Raw 3 will be a March release. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumba830 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Would this include an old coaster enthusiast video (when you mentioned what kind of videos you need it was a bit iffy) ... If so I have some stuff for Drachen Fire and The Steel Phantom(Not D-funk but it had a severe overhaul...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
