Yes, I did find it interesting. And I am happy you were open minded enough to give it a second chance. (going against what you originally said about it.) ...
... Here's my question: how accurate are G-force readings from an iPhone? It's not like it's built with that function in mind, and I'm sure it can't compare to...
http://screamscape.com/html/ghost_town_in_the_sky.htm Lance has some new videos of the Cliffhanger coaster. At IAAPA the new trains looked like garbage and on...
That ride looks so...pointless. And wow were those some loud trains. I hope the park has something newin the works, because I cannot see them lasting too long...
... And this is the Traver mystery ride. Supposedly, no one knows what happened to the coaster after it was dismantled. It was purchased by someone down...
... I'll slam an iphone any day. what is so fucking great about a phone that costs $400 and becomes obsolete in 6 months? Yet people worship these things...
... For the record, I think they're stupid too. But I was really just questioning how accurate something like is at measuring g-forces in such an environment....
... The sample-rate for the GPS and accelerometer is so low as to be meaningless in this context. There's also the issue of of how the phone is mounted to the...
... You can tell by the POV video; the camera was shaking all over the place. It sounded like the wheels were coming loose. Very weird. Who made the trains?...
That makes sense in an historical perspective, but I hope they have something else in the works...I'm not sure if that ride is really going to cut it. I'm...

... So are you talking about things on the list, or saying that when I embed a video into a Screamscape update, I should also put the html link as well there? ...

I meant both. Jay has been posting videos lately as well, and when I get to his site I can't find a link. I've just noticed the links dropping off most...
It's horrible, but two monorail crashed late last night at Walt Disney World in the TTC station (Magic Kingdom Parking Lot). Looks like the one flew in full...
