Charlotte's 6News (WCNC - NBC) closed out tonights broadcast with some clips from Sundays B-roll in Nick Central. All the clips were quick and the whole segment was only about 30 seconds but the very last scene was........<drumroll please>.......

Our very own COASTERBRUH as he was snapping his sail on the Phantom Flyers!!!

other interesting clips were the onboard Phantom Flyer camera shots and the Flying Dutchman's Revenge.

Cool! Must have been a cold and wet day for media day today!

He sure tucked tail and ran today while we were snapping in the pouring cold rain today! He just went for one spin! Couldn't hang with the big boys (well..three rounds was enough for me!)

Took a screen of myself.. (sorry for the poor quality)


Man that was a good snap right there..

Good job guys! I think Scott did well with the smoking questions too. Hopefully, not TOO many people will see that clip and head out to the park this weekend.... YES, I'm selfish. B)

BTW - The weather is shaping up to be real good on Sat. High 60, maybe higher.

Will someone explain the snap for me? I couldn't quite tell from the video, probably because I didn't know what I was looking for.

thanks

Thanks for the link foreseer. That clip was much longer than the one I saw. I usually watch the 6pm local news and they only showed about 30 seconds of that link you gave. That clip must've been from an earlier broadcast.

One thing they didn't show on the longer version was the Flying Dutchman in action. The clip I saw showed the ride going full steam.

Snapple - A wonderful line of beverages that are a treat to the pallet and include useless bits of trivia under every cap! The new century's "Fortune cookie" if you will.

Then there's Snapyourdesk.com. A great site where you can view snapshots of people's desktops... literally.

Finally -(LONG VERSION) "Snapping" is a term used to describe the action of taking a flyer "Car" or "Bucket" to a height at which its vertical momentum causes a release of tension against the cables from which it is suspended. As gravity overcomes the momentum, the "Bucket" falls back toward earth causing the tension to reform quickly on the cables. This creates a "Snapping" reflex and sound from the cables.

(SHORT VERSION) - You get your flyer kick a$$ high and it falls down fast snapping the cables. FUN FUN FUN!
