Mr. Fusion Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) Yeah, tonight at 9. Then after that it's the Coney Island Sideshow. I'm having my friend tape it for me. Edited January 1, 1970 by fusiondude09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yep, Delirium and TR:TR should be on this show. I'm taping it at 9, and then again at midnight so I have a backup copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 dude that's on tonight? Good thing you told me because i have to get a tape ready! I love what Discovery does with that show, they do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hmmm... MTV VMAs or PKI on TV... MTV always repeats the crap out of their award shows, so PKI is on my TV tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 The day has come! Make sure to look for Sparky (AZ Kinda Guy) and me on there for Tomb Raider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Unless I was misinformed this show will ONLY feature Delirium. The program which features TR:TR, in which I was interviewed as author, won't be out until later this year or even next year. Dang it! I should've switched to the Delirium program when I had a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Tomb Raider will in fact be on Extreme Rides 2003... they filmed for it in November 2002. The filming of Tomb Raider from earlier this season will be, like you said, used in a later TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Hey thanks for the info! so will they be showing Tomb Raider : the ride as well or just Delirium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) I be sure to tape it. I like to watch the VMA's because they dont have the time to edit it. Edited January 1, 1970 by Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. G. Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I would be the old blonde lady and my daughters the little blonde girl and the teenage brunette.

Magic41445 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Fortunatey I have Time warner cables new DVR so I have the VMAs in a picture in picture screen and Extreme on the main and vice versa. Anyway, I'm a huge tech guy so I loved the part where the cameras went up to the top of Delirium to explain its inner workings....Still waiting for TR to show up.....

italianchef Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) I just finished watching and recording the DISCOVERY channel program. They did a nice job with Delirium - but only briefly highlighted TR:TR. I was shocked by how young Todd Bills is because I thought that he was older. I can't wait for the TR:TR show to come out - mostly because I'll see myself. Whenever I see PKI on TV, I feel a sense of pride and joy. Due to recent changes in my "family" situation, I won't be able to afford to visit any theme park but PKI for a few years anyway. Have a great day!

Tanner Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 So was the bit on Delirium good? I had to miss for football practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) So was the bit on Delirium good? I had to miss for football practice. Mr. Tanner, I thought that the Discovery Channel did an admirable job of displaying Delirium. Some featured speakers were Jeff Siebert (a deity on this web page), Todd Bills ( a well-known PKI fan), a ride engineer from PKI, and a beautiful young Asian-American lady. The footage of Delirium was great! So great that I will go to PKI this weekend to ride Delirium if the weather allows it and I find at least one person to hang out with. Have a groovy day!

WildCat Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 Yea I just saw the show and they edited Tomb Raider. Most of what they showed was Delirium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignathan4403 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Very, very good show. Indeed they shown very little of Tomb Raider: The Ride, but they did show very good footage of Delirium, Top Thrill, and Xelerator. -Good Show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenAmazon Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) I'd say it was the best Extreme Rides show they've done. The Delirium part shows that the ride is everything it's hyped up as... A couple of people I know personally, Allen Greene and Todd Bills were shown. Teriffic! Two other rides I've been on, Top Thrill Dragster and Superman: Ultimate Flight (although I rode the one at SF Great America near Chiago, not the one shown at SF Great Adventure in New Jersey), and those are great too. As for the VMA's, I just saw the highlights that remind me why I don't watch that piece of garbage. I heard that Johnny Cash was nominated for 6 awards, but couldn't be there because of hospitalization for stomach problems... I bet the thought of going on the show made him sick! Just my honest opinion here.. Edited January 1, 1970 by AllenAmazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) Is it just me or was that shot of the Mechanic on Delirium while the arm was at full swing sweet. I personally think that Discovery did a great job on this Extreme Rides installment and didn't show to much of TR:TR due to the later one that has Italian Chef in it. My top three favorite scenes from EXTREME RIDES'03 are. 1:Delirium Footage 2:Swat Footage/Top Thrill Dragster Footage 3:Discovery calling Zonga a new ride lol. (I know it's new to SFMW but it's really a old ride) Edited January 1, 1970 by Coasterguy107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcarusLives Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Delirium looked great! Overall the show was decent. I think they spent way too much time on Thrillshot (that "bungee" seat ride at SFMM). And I would not classify S:UF as an "extreme" ride. I've ridden it and it's pretty tame. But I think Delirium and TTD came out looking the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 They did a great job with the Delirium segments. Good ol' Jeffery hyping up our rides. I really liked some of their camera angles, like the one of the camera mounted on the arm, so it looks like the ring stays in one spot but rotates and the ground/sky is moving not the ride. While the Tomb Raider one was short, it gave a good feel of what you get inside. Its not that great of a ride compared to Delirium (not enough movement, in my opinion) so it really shouldn't get that much attention as compared to Delirium, Xcelerator, TTD,.... the list goes on. I'm proud to say I've ridden every ride shown on there except the Claw and Swat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Chef Hehehe, guess I'll be appreciating how young I look when I'm 30 years old. Chef, I'm actually 22 :-) Moving on, I thought they did a great job with the Delirium segment. They definitely had some interesting camera angles. Its nice to see PKI get some spotlight, very much deserved! - Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Yea I thought that too. They had some nice angles. Some better than others. I like the part with the mec. on top while the ride was in operation. And going inside the little white building, and if you look out the window you could see Delirium in motion. Was that Sparky in the drivers seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyatuc Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 My favorite part was the interview with Mr. Ed Dangler. I've met him before and he's a great guy...but it was just funny watching someone named "Dangler" being interviewed at the top of the ride. LOL. What's also funny is that I got to see the show WITH Mr. Siebert and company at our GR party last night. It was a fun show and I enjoyed seeing the ins and outs of the other rides on the list as well as Delirium. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRadsgrl Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Yea, I was all excited I had a freind over and we were like comeon tr and then we reolized it was next year on the travel channel when tr was going to show so that was a bummer.
