Update, July 2003: A new "quick-and-dirty" video of the Orbit (S&S Power) has been added. I have some spare time at the moment so I will probably be doing some video assembly work... stay tuned ! I'm looking for a good (and possibly free or very low cost) web space provider for these and other videos. If you know of any please e-mail me at: Jaydee0@hotmail.com Thanks ;-) |
"Le Vampire" (B&M) (a "Batman, the ride" standard SF look-alike)
Videoclip 1: (320 x 240) (250k stream) aDSL/cable Videoclip 1: (320 x 240) (500k stream) LAN high speed Notes: You will notice that the soundtrack is the original from the initial shootings of the scenes. Some will say that this makes for an "un-professional" video production. My idea was to preserve alll the emotion, the fun, the thrill and for some, the terror, of riding the Vampire ! I may change the soundtrack if I come up with any new ideas... A higher quality .mpg and .divx format file is also available (aprox 65 megs), please contact me via e-mail. For some excellent still photographs of this coaster, see Robert Lavigne's site here Designers: un-official sites: B&M 1 B&M 2 B&M 3 Note: Legal battles between B&M and some independant websites have resulted in dead links, but the sites may re-open eventually. Don't be surprised if you get a 404 error on some of the above !

Why is the video quality not "broadcast" quality ? Well its quite simple. Video images take up an incredible amount of space on a disk and require a lot of bandwidth to deliver from the server to your computer. Space and bandwidth are expensive commodities, both of which I have no resources for, because these videos are just for fun !
