Wow! That shows you how much effort has gone into landscaping and theming of that area! Wardley's like a little kid running around showing the viewers the layout of the track :P

I always love JW's enthusiasm when he's describing his own creations. I remember him doing a similar thing on Tomorrow's World running around the Nemesis building site.

Anyone who has seen the docementry shown on BBC 2 in 1998 (the magic factory?) will have also seen John Wardley very excited the first time oblivion went down the drop he was laughing and jumping all over the place (lol) whilst the directors just stood there- brillant programme

The Nemesis thing may have been on Extreme Machines, but it was originally shown on Tomorrow's World when they covered the opening of Nemesis.

I've seen John Wardley and Keith Sparkes taking us through the Haunted House. For some reason the cars looked like they didn't have that coffin casing on. Does anyone know where I can get it from, it's about a 1 hour though but goes through the pre-production, music composing, creature designs and opening day.

If you know what I mean try to find it !

Me too. Sounds like a good programme for the designers and for people who would like to know what goes into the process to build a new ride. COuld be a good one if anyone could find a link or a site that has it for download.

does anyone remember the model at the end of around the world in 80 days? it showed the rmt, rapids and hh. I think the hh part of the model now lives (or did b4 the duel refurb) in the garden section of the hh.
