Carowinds Connection member ChadLP02 sent me this video/slideshow of BORG Assimilator. It has a lot of the construction photos you see on this site plus a few video clips, edited to music.

lol, thanks. you gotta love the duck at the beginning.

I think the corkscrews are beside the fence that has the picnic tables, but i'm sure somethin can get threw up over there if possible, lol. I think people are thinking it weaves through trees as well, but if you look closely, I think the trees are just to the side of the ride and that's it.

Wow! Haha, that was really great! I vote Chad to make all official new ride slideshows forever!

I definitely agree with Tinkerdog! Everything was great! That was a perfect song!

Awesome good job man. I love the duck at th bigginning the way the song starts off with it. By the way what is the name of the song and who sings it?

[twistytie]

It was on the end of the slideshow.

But it's called "New" and by No Doubt. They are awesome!

Haha, cool. I'm glad you guys liked it. The song really did fit perfectly. I was telling Jonathan that in the best case, I would have liked to continue the song, when it slowed down at the end, to show slideshow pics of the actual Borg ride being built, and then once it picked up again, to show actual Borg footage. But as we all know, Borg isn't complete yet and nobody has any footage of Borg in action. Maybe one of these days I can complete the full song!

I would like to make some videos for some other Carowinds rides, but I don't really know where to start I guess. A pirate island slideshow and then something showing the Saturator being built might be kinda cool.

I have only seen like 2 pictures of Blackbeard's revenge on the internet. Besides, it isn't a coaster and it isn't exactly like people went to carowinds with a camra with the intention of snapping a few pictures of Blackbeard's revenge. And the ride wasn't that good anyway. (Yes I did manage one ride during 1999 when it was open!)

[ChadLP02]

Top Gun would be cool to do, I'm sure there's lots of photos, and footage from that.
