Things to watch for:
1. #7470's whistle doesn't squeak!
2. The white haired fellow who obstructs the shot not once, not twice, but three times!
3. A bit of confusion concerning "hump yards."
POV of a small mine train roller coaster at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania. By no means the most exciting ride in the world, but fun none the less. Enjoy!
Some footage of a nice HO-scale layout owned by the North Conway Model Railroad Club. This layout is located in an old freight house near the Conway Scenic Railroad station.
Virtual trip through Hersheypark that I filmed during the 2007 centennial season. Includes some on-ride footage from several coasters and hi-jinks involving cows, bunnies, prairie dawgs, my crazy cousins, etc...
Set to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" for no paticular reason.
Watch this in high quality - it makes a big difference.
Some coaster video shot on Sunday, May 11th; second day the park was open. Watch for free soda, bald guys rocking out, and abandoned teddy bears at every turn.
Music is "Beatbox Cha Cha" by Ursula 1000, condensed to match my limited footage.
Take a front-seat ride on the Wildcat roller coaster at Hersheypark in Hershey, PA.
I didn't upload this one with the rest of the Hershey stuff because I thought the footage didn't come out too great (way too shakey) Let's just say you'll get a good idea of how violent this coaster is!
