Prowler (HD)

[IntaLSM]

1:44 = I <3 GCI banking...

[frenchfrey65]

whoever commented me on coasterforce's onride video of this, THANK YOU, this was awesome!

[SeanFlaharty]

@frenchfrey65 - Not sure if you got the link for the vid from that site or not but regardless, thanks for checking it out!

[Paneeks1960]

Hey Sean, The bank footage in this at 2:20 is truly incredible footage. Hope all is going well my friend. I was just checking out some of your channel footage. That camera that you are using {I assume it is the one that you picked up at the tale end of the Japan trip} takes pristine HD video and audio. I must look into buying one. Talk to you soon, Rob

[SeanFlaharty]

@Paneeks1960 - Thank you again Rob!

You are correct about the camera. I purchased it within the last couple of hours I was in Japan. It's been a great camera although it has been acting up lately. I may get another HD cam sometime this year.

Thanks for watching!

[Paneeks1960]

Some of the best coaster footage that I have ever had the pleasure to view here on YT. Thanks

[SeanFlaharty]

@Paneeks1960 - Thanks!

[CoolioJoe100]

@SeanFlaharty watched it in 360- Awesome. =D

[CoolioJoe100]

This video is amazing quality, but if it had a better frame rate it would be some of the best coaster footage I've ever seen!

[SeanFlaharty]

@CoolioJoe100 - Thanks. Try watching it in a different resolution. I also noticed the frame rate has dropped in the last week or so., ever since I updated Flash. If I play the video in 480p it runs smoother, however, you lose the HD.

[thegame42640]

How good is the airtime on this rollercoaster?

[SeanFlaharty]

@thegame42640 - Pretty good actually.

[kylehance]

Hands down one of the best coasters I've ever ridden in my life.

[SeanFlaharty]

@kylehance - It really is one of the wildest coasters. I really love it at night where you can't see where you are heading.

[Jemalacane]

What state is this in?

[SeanFlaharty]

@Jemalacane - It's in Missouri.

[rollercoaster945]

Monster During The Day.... Beast At Night. Prowler Rocks

[SeanFlaharty]

@rollercoaster945 - Indeed! This ride feels totally different at night.

[hopegirl36]

Alright that's it, going on this ride the next time I'm going to worlds of fun!

[SeanFlaharty]

@hopegirl36 - Great! I am sure you will love it.

[hopegirl36]

@SeanFlaharty Oh you rode it? How fast does it go?

[marioman19991]

whaen i wa on this earlier i said get me the h*** off this thing lol it was fast

[CAdude86]

that looks like fun : )

[Airvvave22]

Love your videos, SeanFlaharty.

What are you recording with ?

[SeanFlaharty]

@Airvvave22 - Thank you. I recorded this video with a Sony HDR-HC1 camcorder.

[TonyMProductions]

Amazing Footage!

[SeanFlaharty]

@TonyMProductions - Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[greatplanesman]

Nice footage, but why did you call it b-roll?

[SeanFlaharty]

@greatplanesman - Thank you. b-roll is a term used when using "secondary" footage for a project. It also can mean any footage edited into or around a segment of "main" footage.

[greatplanesman]

Yes, but normally you only call it b-roll when it's placed over the master clip (A-roll), like when someone is talking I.E. about the numerous hills on Prowler, and fast transitions. :)

[SeanFlaharty]

@greatplanesman - You are correct. That's what I tried to say in my first comment. =:^) At one time I had planned on editing the POV of this ride with some of the shots but I didn't have the HD version. The same goes for the Intimidator footage I shot last Friday.

[greatplanesman]

Hmm, so when can we expect to see an entire fully edited video?

[bobbinbop20]

wow that was great footage! Good Job!

[SeanFlaharty]

@bobbinbop20  - thanks!

[Coasterfreak1456]

Great and good work!

[SeanFlaharty]

@Coasterfreak1456 - Thank you!

[Zgiessing]

I went here on opening day. Both Prowler and Evel Kneivel are amazing. Went to CP this summer and rode Mavrick. 1 word.... EPIC!

[SeanFlaharty]

Prowler is really breaking in nice. Maverick is an amazing ride as well isn't it?

[dreadbet]

I smoked a cigarrette in that one

amazing though

[CP5626]

This looks like an awesome ride! I'd like to ride it one day, but I am on the other side of the U.S!

[CoasterBob62]

Great video...love the HD! It's also so cool that you get to go"backstage." I hope CP gets a woodie like this one!

[finrollercoaster09]

cool

[meme224555]

lol this looks like so much fun!!!!

[aniirtep]

what ever

[aniirtep]

we got just same wooden coaster here in finland, at powerpark.

[SeanFlaharty]

I love the wooden coaster at Powerpark although it is very different than Prowler. I think you may be confusing the Prowler with Evel Knievel at Six Flags St. Louis which has the same layout as Thunderbird.

[wilhelm1407]

I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!!! XDDD

[rollercoasterfan97]

everything was great in this video except the editing. it really annoyed me. it would always start too much before the coaster came in the shot, and then would stay on the frame for longer than it needed after the coaster had left the frame. itsa just that little detail that bugged me a bit. but great recording and footage and awesome quality!

[SeanFlaharty]

I did originally edit this video with quicker edits but it didn't sound right. I opted to include the before-and-after sustain as part of the edit as I felt it had a very unique sound that came out way too choppy with quick edits. I even tried to fade the sound in at one point but it sounded artificial.

[rollercoasterfan97]

ah ok cool then. i still love the video!

[Ryan120420]

Looks like a GREAT coaster!

How does it stack up against other GCI's?

[SeanFlaharty]

It's in a class by itself. While it does have that GCI feel, the majority of the ride is quite different than anything they have done before. It doesn't let up.

[cjman87]

that's a little toooooo fast for a woodie

great video though, i love your camera quality

[stupidnorman1]

cjman87:

A little too fast for a wood coaster? It's not even one of the fastest wood coasters in the world. It only hits 51 mph. 45-55 mph is common for a wood coaster. There's quite a few wood coasters that hit 65 mph. The world's fastest wood coaster is Son of Beast at Kings Island in Ohio, which reaches 78 mph (now that's a little too fast for a wood coaster).

[cjman87]

o . . .

[cjman87]

i was really jus makin a joke tho

[Petsku333]

Hey Sean did you like Kirnu at Linnanmäki Finland. The one that you couldn't expect at all, It's my favourite ride :)

[SeanFlaharty]

Yes I did. It was easily my favoite coaster at the park.

[Petsku333]

Okay lulz :D

[bigjohnson51]

Beautiful shots of a beautiful ride! Awesome video Sean!

[SeanFlaharty]

Many thanks Caleb......despite your sucessfull attempt at embarrassing Justin and I. =:^)

[jasonthecool]

good good quility 5 star

[SeanFlaharty]

Thanks for rating!

[MestizoFilipino]

Wow, another great videos, you should be getting a ton more views. Does the park let you go in restricted areas? Because it always seems like your in places they don't let the general public. Is all you have to do is ask?

[SeanFlaharty]

Thank you!

For the video above and the Pilgrims Plunge video we had a tour guide at each park. The friend I was with on the trip was taking pictures for a magazine and had pre-arranged everything months in advance. He took the stills. I took the video.

[ozzyray]

Another great video Sean!

[SeanFlaharty]

Many thanks Ray! It was cool running into you in Florida a few days back. What are the chances?

[WorldsOfFunRideOn]

Awesome shots of our new predator!

[SeanFlaharty]

Many thanks! It really in an outstanding ride.

[Petsku333]

Luv your videos they should have more views :O

[SeanFlaharty]

Slowly but surely the views will go up. =:^) Thanks.

[FinnishF1Fan]

yea, i like'd this!

[SeanFlaharty]

I bet you would. You have an amazing GCI in Finland though.

[fascce]

Nice vid!

[SeanFlaharty]

Thank you!
