- Rendell,
- I didn't see the commercial in the first half of the Monday Night
- Football game last night but when I went to sleep I had the VCR going.
- Hopefully I have caught it. I did catch about 75% of it the previous week.
- I missed the chain lift stuff. As I have said before, I am almost positive
- it is the Psyclone. Look at the track layout. It looks to me like a
- Cyclone clone. Look at the cars. They are definitely the B&M cars on the
- Psyclone. Think about where Hollywood likes to film commercials and stuff
- and it almost has to be the Psyclone.
-
- Talk about a rough one. Try and identify the coaster in the movie "The
- Day The Earth Stood Still". There is only about a 2 second shot of a
- coaster train stuck on a lift hill. Will we ever know.
