How do you mount the cameras to the ride? I have been wanting to venture into coaster filming for some time now :)

Anyone notice on this topic on his site, how robb himself incorrectly notes when the video was taken (without being asked), then when someone politely notes his error robb condescendingly put that person down by saying "because it matters SOOOOOO much when the video was shot," adding an eye-rolling symbol afterwards. If it didn't matter, then why would he have said it in the first place?

I get along with almost everyone I've ever met, and hardly dislike anyone...but wow, what a complete jerk. Way to be wrong, self-contradicting, and abrasive, all at the same time [lol]

Oscar, all joking aside, I do believe you deserve a cut of the sales for allowing this guy to advertise his video on your site. He'll be making money, so why should you let him use you without compensation?

^ Bare in mind that he is running one of the most popular theme park sites around, and I'm sure he's got more on his mind than a little error he made.
Screw Commercialism. It's Dr.Gumbo, not CokeZero.

I have heard quite a few bad stories about Robb, I mean, I am yet to experience anything of this nature so far be it from me to cast any form of judgement, but dcs221 is not the only person I've ever heard slighting Robb's personality.

Just advertise premium membership for this site on Robb's forums Oscar... See how he takes blatent advertising (spam) on his forums.
I think it may be different if Robb was a frequent poster, but all he ever posts is adverts for himself. He used to do the same with CS aswell. advertisment normally costs money, why should he get it for free.

Personal grievances and attacks don't belong on a public forum. That's sad.

Can anyone appreciate rare footage of such great quality? I for one do...and I will be purchasing the DVD.

Thanks. Not to thrilled that he said that after I corrected him.

Yep Tetsu...your post was not even close to being "disrespectful"...purely informational, and he had no reason to lash out at you.

Jake, if you say that to me, then why did you not note his attack on Tetsu at TPR? Is that not the same thing? Does he not post only to advertise for more sales? What have I said that isn't true?

Just because he puts on a happy front for trips doesn't mean he's innocent of constantly putting people down in various ways on his site.

Love the vids...minus the "antics" of course, considering I don't care for what I'd call "enthusiast culture." The raw vids are very fun to watch. With that said, I really believe he doesn't care to share the videos as much as he cares to increase sales. If he wanted to add something to other sites, he'd do more than copy and paste an advertisement over the last few years.

I think while you may have a point (to which, I think Id do the same thing as him if I had something to sell) you may need to let go of the bitterness that somewhat culminated in that post. ya know?

Whatever everyone thinks, that only matters to yourself. Let's just enjoy the video and if you enjoy great footage from rare, classic rides, then be happy that such a great DVD is available for such a low price. Be greatful!

Getting back on topic, I remember riding this one time (and only once, for a good reason) back in like 2000 or so. I was probly around 6 or 7 and having the poop completely beat outta me. Lol.
