Robb Alvey's Coaster Videos 2002

Well, once again the master at park footage, yes, you know whoo, Robb Alvey, has graced us with yet another totally awesome vid! Packing so many park into one year he had to release 2, count 'em, 2 sets of videos this year. One for the parks here in America, and one for the European Odysee. But here we are talking about the video with the parks in the good ol' US of A!
Well, the first thing I noticed, and maybe you will too, is the greeting card with Robb and Elissa riding the Steeplechase at Blackpool, but thats beside the point.

Robb Alvey's Coaster Season 2002....or, the most insane coaster year EVER!

This is the video you get if you want, no, NEED more of the stuff you see at Robb's site, www.themeparkreview.com , and you just couldnt wait for him to Update with a new video. The video has been described as a compolation of music videos...rollercoaster style! With masterful editing to match the music Its amazing how much he fits within the time he does.
The music is awesome with an artist collection featuring DJ Sammy, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, and many more!
Also, this is the video that GP will have a hard time understanding because there is enough Vekoma and Arrow bashing to resink the Titanic! Lots of Robbs favorite shots of people at parks(I cant decide if thats of people being weird or Elissa drinking a soda, lol) and just all around having a good time.
The videos have an AMAZING array of parks this year too featuring Hershey Park, Lakemont, Del Grosso, Knott's( or Knazi, which ever you prefer), Cedar point, Knoebel's, Island of Adventure, and basically all the Six Flags in the US. You also get introduced, or re-introduced, to some of the greatest coaster event like Stark Raven Mad, Phoenix Phall Phunfest, Holloween Horro Nights at Islands of Adventure, Knott's Winter Solace, Coaster Con, and a couple others I cant remember right now. And that just shows you how much there is!
Over all the season video is a great video and a must buy for any coaster enthusiast looking for a laugh.

Robb Alvey's Coaster Footage 2002

Okay, now this is the video almost ALL people, GP or Enthusiast, will drool over...the coaster Footage. Providing over an hours of on-ride, off-ride, and POV footage this is the video to buy if you cant travel very often. Featuring coasters spanning the US such as Xcellerator, Viper @ SFMM and SFGAd, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Nitro, Leap the Dips, Texas Giant, Shockwave @ SFoT, the world famous (infamous?) X (not X: the Xtreme as the GP like to call it), and many more thi video is great! He rides the lift so you dont have to! Thast right, Its straight to the drop on his videos and that is one of the best things about it.
This video too has awesome music! Not quite edited to the music but close enough. But one of the best things about the video is the Bonus Segment of nothing but Xcellerator! "I...Can't...Drive...Fifty-Five!", oh yeah, Sammy Hagar ROCKS!

Overall View

Overall the Videos are awesome! Even rivaling last years videos which were also great, the videos have a good mix of humor, footage, people, and of course...FOOD! You gotta love the food, and the free drinks at Holiday World, but thats a different story.

Ordering Info.

It's not that bad for international orders. I only ask an extra $10 per order...so if you order 4 videos, for example, the $10 covers all of them! I try to make it as cheap as I can since they are technically 'home moves'. And I still do the honor system even for international orders, so if you don't like them, just ship them back and you don't have to pay a thing!

ps. Thanks Rock for posting and making me aware of this site!!!

Yeah, I'll keep the downloadable ones coming as I can. It just eats up a lot of bandwidth. I'm thinking about posting our "footage" segment of SFGadv next. Got some really nice shots on CHiller and Nitro last year!

Thanks again everyone!

Thing is though, it was true! You put a group of 'typical' sized ACErs on that thing and the wheel got pretty pissed off!!! =) It used to having kids on there...and I don't think all the kids in England on that thing at one time could ever match the abuse the American's gave that thing in one day!
