The Thread of YouTube!

The fantastic Tom Scott has taken a break from youtube, 10 years of weekly content, covering all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

He's signed off with a very emotional farewell video.

Love Tom's videos. Would be great to see him host his own show on TV one day.

My latest video from travels abroad! Super happy with how this one turned out - I went for a more cinematic approach this time, and actually managed to complete the edit within a couple of hours. Normally it takes me several days, on and off.

Nice vid, just liked and subbed.

I’m impressed you managed to like my post and reply in less time than it takes to actually watch the relatively short video.

He's canvassing support and votes for when you do bring the awards back.

I found this great video from Intamin’s 20th anniversary, talking about the contemporary rides of the time like the Gen1 freefall tower, the stand-up and the bobsled amongst others. Really fun video to watch from my favourite (and simultaneously most infuriating) manufacturer

I feel I am compelled to share the latest video from Bobby Fingers:

From: https://youtu.be/2RIEPKEhE2s?si=O7FeZtRtKmLakNYH


He makes a diorama of Fabio Lanzoni getting hit by a goose on Apollos's Chariot - but the video is so much more than that!

Not gonna lie, it felt a little painful.

I wasn't a fan of that, unfortunately.

Was doing a bit of browsing for theme park content, and came across an old episode of Playdays set at Thorpe Park (complete with mid-90’s CBBC continuity)

A real blast from the past!

With the 2025 park just beginnin, I thought it was time to record and upload another ride theme to my music channel.

Which park/non park covers should I do next? Music learnt arranged by ear.

Yet another theme park montage video from myself. This time I experimented with 4K 60FPS filming in order to generate a smooth, slow-mo, cinematic look. Pleased with how it turned out!

Err...
Looks slow.

Just been suggested this.

Very tempted to make a Historama model now.
Out of Lego.

I watched LISTERS: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching and can highly recommend it. Two brothers enter the world of birdwatching via a yearlong road trip through America. There were some very interesting parallels to roller coaster enthusiasm as well, as in the tension between attempting to see as many birds as possible in order to be at the top of certain leaderboards and how that can be in conflict with the "casual" pleasure of simply enjoying watching and discovering birds without turning it into a quantified competition.

There was also a brilliant one which was on the BBC (I think) years ago called 'Twitchers: A Very British Obsession'. I think it was aired as part of their Storyville series. There's a version on Youtube here but I think someone has uploaded it in a small size with adjusted sound to get around the copyright thing somehow and it looks a bit unwatchable. Well worth a watch if you can find a better version to download online (I think I found a download version a couple of years ago online by googling it and it was on Reddit or a forum or something as a user had provided a download link in the chat).

Edit - The download link might still be active in the chat here somewhere (take usual precautions when downloading from the internet)..... https://www.birdforum.net/threads/twitchers-a-very-british-obsession.421046/

P.S - I'm definitely gonna watch that Listers documentary you shared @Llama. I love documentaries like this.
