Coasterforce's videos are always so grainy and dull.

At least their old ones.

I still can't wrap my head around B&M building an LSM, I can't wait.

I'd be very willing to help if I had the money as well. :| I can still be a part of your Kennywood division though!

I actually prefer CF's povs over TPR's for the same reason above-can't put up with Robb screaming "TWISTY!" XD. EastCoasterGeneral, who films most of Cf's videos never says a word.

Also, I would also contribute if I could @ SFGA

As to the TPR vs Coaster Force, TPR has better POVs. Mostly because their mounted, but yeah HIT that mute button. Coaster force does way better offride shots though! When your looking for inspiration, you look at CF.

As for the Media Coverage, instead of looking for specifc media events, make a map! Have a list of people who cover their HOME park only, might make people more willing to go if they know they signed up.
Maybe with a list of people covering a park, you will find it easier to find someone. I could cover Southern California, but i suspect many people could also?

I wonder why B&M are so reluctant to make the launch components themselves? Strange that they don't seem to have even tried (from what I know) to create one themselves. They just get other companies to supply them.

The founding members didn't want to do launches because they wanted to focus on making traditional roller coasters (lifts and powered by gravity).

^Ahh. I suppose that that is a reasonable reason. Kind of a crushing blow to innovation though.

^ They are using terrains really well, too! :) As for Thunderbird, I do like the layout except a few elements: Horseshoe and Elevated Spiral which should be shaped like a set of "smoothed out" inclined loops.

Yea that's a shame, thought B&M would finally make their own launch, but guess not, oh well.

Butt protection. Do what you do best. If they don't feel like they can make a launch up to their standards, then they won't.

Yea I bet they feel that if they do it, and screw up badly, it will really hurt their reputation.

I believe he's thinking of hydraulic launches. Which Thunderbird is not.

I know Vekoma built Rock 'n' Roller Coaster to use a cable for it's LSM, I assumed Thunderbird was doing the same. Oops.
