Walt Disney World - the Longform Video
The sucky thing about annual passes is that they're only good
for a year. Our passes have
expired now, so we decided to comb through our
footage and put something nice together.
Six Flags Glow in the Park Parade (St. Louis)
Seriously? This is Six Flags?
It's not Disney, but it's a damn fine parade.
We got an invite to come hang out at Sea World for the Media
Day of Manta, the park's brand new
B&M flying coaster. Since you weren't
there, here's a little overview of what you missed.
Awesome coaster, by the way.
Pirates of the Caribbean ride-through
Probably one of the most difficult rides to get a good
(non-night vision) video of, Pirates of the
Caribbean is one of the finest dark
rides in existence.
And our Sony VX-2100s had no problems at all capturing the action.
Osborne Family Lights at Disney Hollywood Studios
We've got three videos showcasing the lights presented at Christmas.
Wishes
Since Wishes runs a bit over ten minutes, we had to break it
down into two parts. I'm really hot and cold
when it comes to this show.
I like parts of it, but there's some elements (singing children) that rub me
the
wrong way. Nevertheless, it's a good show.
Spectromagic
Spectromagic is a great show at the Magic Kingdom.
Again, we've had to break this into two parts
because of Youtube time
contstraints.
Illuminations : Reflections of Earth (plus Holiday tag)
Illuminations is the best damn nighttime show there is.
Take the best damn nighttime show there is, and
throw on another few minutes and
you've got yourself a superwinner.
Long Weekend in October (Epcot Food and Wine Festival)
If you ever get a chance to hit Disney in October, you ab-so-lutley
have to make sure you spend a day at
Epcot for the International Food and Wine
Festival. We also spent a bit of time over at Mickey's Not So
Scary
Halloween Party (which, when compared to the Pirates and Princess Party, was
distinctly "meh.")
Mickey's Boo to You Halloween Parade
Since I did just mention Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween
Party, here's the parade from that special
hard ticket event.
Hard Rock Park - Bohemian Rhapsody
Rest in Peace, Hard Rock Park. Here's the now-gone
nighttime firework and laser spectacular. It's not
on a par with Disney,
but it's hard to be too critical of a show that uses Queen, right?
Magic, Music and Mayhem Fireworks (Pirates and Princess Party)
This might be my favorite fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom.
Dude, it looks like they blew the
freaking castle up!
Coasters, flat rides, and the harmonic stylings of Butch Walker. Everything a decent video needs.
Midnight Rider / Eagles: Life in the Fast Lane / Iron Horse testing
How the hell can one coaster have been through three names in two years?
We headed up to Virginia the year Griffon opened. We had
no intention of shooting the park using a
Sony VX camera, but our handheld
Panasonic camera chose to eat itself. Oh well. I think we
squeaked a
pretty decent little video out of it.
Myrtle Beach Pavilion - Last Ride
On September 24th, 2006, the
Myrtle Beach Pavilion closed its gates
to the general public. A ticketed
event, the Last Ride, was held on
September 30th, 2006 for 3,000 ticket holders. TPS was there, and
this is
our memorial video to a park that entertained generations of beachgoers.
