kinserman11 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Hello, it's me again I was wondering if any members on this site recorded The Beast 25th anniversary video during 2004. I watched this video in line during my visit to the park in 2004 but couldn't see well because of the glare, and couldn't hear any of it either. If anyone has this video, could we work out a deal where you could record it on tape or dvd and send it to me, we could work out a fee for your services. Thanks, J.W. Elliott Quote
KIBeast Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I don't have it, but if someone on here does, I'd love to have a copy myslef. I would be willing to pay. Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah that would be cool. I wonder if we e-mailed PKI about it, if they could help us out. Quote
Vortex Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 If anyone does find the video I would also pay for a copy. You think PKI would sell the video or put it on their web page? Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 The video was for sale during the 2004 season in the parks gift shops, hopefully someone has the video and would be willing to make copies for a price. However, I personally have no desire EVER to see that video again. 2005 was my final year working at the park and my home ride was The Beast, i have that video memorized. The year was 1979... ...disco was still hot... ...Americans were watching Dallas on television.... ....and Monday Night Footballl ...while at the silver screen star trek was making its debut... ...and in a small corner of souther ohio... ...Something BIG was happening.... ...something huge.... ...a monster... ...it could only be called The Beast... ...and this is its story! Oh and I can go on MUCH longer. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 ... ...and this is its story! Oh and I can go on MUCH longer. No thank you. I dont ever rememeber that video being on sale. EVER! I know it was given away as prizes during the hunts but never for sale. But I, as always, can be wrong. I like The Beast. Bill Quote

Vortex Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 The video was not for sale that year or the year after that. Some people in ACE have it. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 ^Are you sure, I'm about 90 percent sure ti was, my neighbor has one and he has nothing to do with ACE. Quote
kinserman11 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Hi, it's J.W. again Just checking up to see if anyone has The Beast 25th anniversary video and would be willing to make a copy for me. I'm interested in this video and a big Beast fan. Thanks. Quote
Buckeye-Beast Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I looked high and low in all of the shops for that video and could never find it. I even e-mailed guest relations, but they never responded. I wanted a copy of it too, mainly because of the original television commercial being in it. ACErs are the only ones I know of who have it.

TheKlockster Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I have The Beast 25th anniversary Special Edition DVD. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 /\ Is it widescreen? Dolby Digital? Director Commentary? Quote
kinserman11 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Hi Klockster, This is J.W. Elliott again and would you be interested in making a copy of the disc for me, it would be appreciated. I can get you a mailing address and we can discuss payment details if you like. Would it be better if we discussed over the phone? Thanks. Quote

KIBeast Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Klockster, I too would also be willing to pay for a copy including shipping, the cost of the CD and then for the time you put into it. Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Ditto, I would enjoy a couple of it too. Maybe you could upload it somewhere? Is that possible? Quote
SOB_TOM Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Klock was being sarcastic people. Anyway, Ryan could probabily contact the park and get it there, since it was broadcasted through QTV on channel 14 I think. Quote
TheKlockster Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 /\ Is it widescreen? Dolby Digital? Director Commentary? I don't believe it is widescreen - but the director's unrivaled genius can be seen in the great shots, and the quality of the editing! It is far better than any of those Cedar Point commercials disguised as Discovery Channel programs. I don't have the ability to copy DVDs - besides I don't think the person who originally gave it to me would be at all amused. Quote
standbyme Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 At BeastBuzz that year we watched the movie in the Paramount Theater. If I remember right, Jeff Siebert announced that they could not sell the complete video because the park did not have the rights to the old Beast commercial that was in it. I also believe that the first place winners that year each got a free copy. As a side-note, I would rather own the Brady Bunch parody video...that one was great! Quote
KIBeast Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Well, so much for that. I can't believe that someone else owns the rights to that video. How dumb was that? They must have paid to use footage of their own coaster. How embarassing. Quote
HelixSpiral Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 because the park did not have the rights to the old Beast commercial that was in it LOL who else would have the rights to a Beast commercial? The video is on the PKI Ace Collector's Edition DVD. Other videos on the DVD are the Son of Beast Blair Witch parody from the 1999-2000 timeframe, the National Geographic Explorer parody that was a promo for TRTR, and the Brady Bunch KI episode parody that was a promo for IJ. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Well, if I recall, The Beast commercial was an animated commercial. When they created it, the animator might have had some sort of royalty agreement. By default then, if the park were to sell a video with the commercial in it, the creator of the commercial would logically want to see some reimbursment. Not sure if this was the particular case with this commercial though. Quote
King Bowser Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Question- Does the park use the ''effects'' anymore like the roaring and the lights?? Havent been at the park in a long while and I'm not going to fearfest so unless they have the begining of November open for guests that will be my time to get a ride on The Beast. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 ^The Lights and no smoking speils in the station still work and The Beast roars on the lift hills are still on. The only thing removed was the roar in the station. Quote
