Build It Bigger

Hopefully this not being a direct Cedar Point thread doesn't stir up any commotion. I'm still a bit new and it seems things can get touchy here...

Anyway, I thought I would let you all in on a new show that will be premiering on the Discovery Channel this July. You may or may not have heard about it, but it is called "Build It Bigger". It pretty much deals with large structures and how they are designed, engineered, & built.

The first episode of this show will be dedicated to roller coasters, and the description is as follows:

"Danny Forster launches headlong into scream engineering --- building, designing and riding some of the greatest roller coasters on the planet. Danny works with two construction teams who create every exacting detail to make the ride both scary and safe."

Catch it on the Discovery Channel at the following times:

-July 10th - 10 pm
-July 11th - 2 am
-July 12th - 7 pm
-July 14th - 11 am

It said "montu" on the front of the train *sp*

^ huh?

In the preview of the show, it shows him riding Montu, hinting they will be doing at least part of the show on Montu from Busch Gardens...

Gotcha. Montu really is a great inverted, but sometimes the tv shows about roller coasters just anger me, because a lot of times they consider the best coaster of each kind, i.e. flying, wooden, inverted, etc. rather than looking at just the "best" coasters in general. that's just my opinion.

I cant wait for that show.

Oh and welcome to pointbuzz GarretSTL

Been on Montu, it is a great coaster. Looking forward to the program.

It shows him riding Montu.....but it also shows Griffon's track. Perhaps he just goes to BGA to do something on Sheikra and rides Montu (and probably Sheikra as well) in the process....

Did you guys watch roller coaster shows circa 2000? I remember every single year, the Coney Island Cyclone was ranked as one of the top two coasters, even with the introduction of flying coasters, MF, etc. I thought it was absolutely outrageous haha. But if anyone has any input on that ride or those shows, I'd like to hear it.
