Park & Coaster books, VHSs & DVDsHi RCCGB Members.It was great to see you all having fun at the recent BPB Bash. I was wondering what books, VHSs, and DVDs you have about parks and coasters? I'm always looking to expand my collection, and wondered what titles you have in your library - particularly if you have any rare or valuable items. Thanks all Sea Lion (Honk!) |

I don't have much at present but during last years USA trip I purchased a Cedar Point DVD and I have a copy of a BBC broadcast entitled 'The Magic Factory' which is centred around Alton Towers and the installation of Oblivion. Some club members are featured and as you would expect, Nev guest stars (from memory there's something about wood being good and why AT should see the light  )

Hi RCCGB Members
[FROSTY] I have a DVD of a BBC broadcast entitled 'The Magic Factory' which is centred around Alton Towers and the installation of Oblivion. Is your copy of "The Magic Factory" an officially released DVD, or was your copy recorded off the television? Sea Lion (Honk!) |

I have a large collection of dvd and videos of coasters of park and coasters. The oldest one I got is the year of the roller coaster video back in 1994 and the big one video to. | ||

Fantastic, what you got? I'm always looking to expand my collection and would love to see what else is out there. What do you recommend? Sea Lion (Honk!) |

It's a self-made recording of the broadcast. Something this old and specific to one park and coaster is unlikely to be released officially as there would not be enough interest. |

Ebay is always a good site to find the odd dvd etc but theme park review does some good ones to. Some of them are from parks in the good old days when parks done great merchendise. | ||

We have quite a few books and videos, coaster related.
Our fav has to be CoasterMania, featuring Nev on what I believe is the clubs first US tour. Its amazing to see how things on the coach have not changed at all! |

Did you record CoasterMania from the television? Or was it officially released to buy in the shops? I love the priest who's into coasters! Sea Lion (Honk!) |

Actually, we got an ntsc copy from someone in club.
I love the music they use (from Clockwork Orange , I think) Also the old couple at Blackpool. |

Hail all! 
On the subject of park videos and suchlike, does anyone have a good quality digital copy of the official Nemesis press/backstory video from 1994CE? 
I have a copy of it here on VHS cassette that I received from another member some years ago. But no longer having a VCR or a television set to play it on, I'm a bit stuck for options if I want to watch it...Especially as I'm not too clued up in transferring VHS video to digital formats, either! 
If anyone knows of somewhere this can be downloaded from (Or could e-mail/PM it to me using a large file service) then I'd be most greatful. 
Farewell for now, and thanks in advance!
