"Paging Dr. CoasterNut..."

Received this nice email from Dr. Jason the other day. He said it was okay to post it, in an anonymous sort of way

Jason from (large city, located three hours from Santa Claus) here; as always, the blog looks great.

Just a word to let you know how I've been showing your video. I am in the last year of Medicine Residency at (large city) University School of Medicine.

People know me as kind of a Coaster Nut.

Anyway, we have a couple big presentations every day; one in the morning and one at noon, to a rather large group of residents.

The presentation is usually a powerpoint that is projected to a large screen in a room that would be the size of a mini-movie theatre. So, to "warm up the crowd," when I do a presentation, I bring up large movies of roller coasters.

Can I just say what a "hit" The Voyage was.

Everyone loved it; the terrain, the underground elements. As the train neared the top of the hill, there were people who gasped in the audience. And it's just the video!

I offered to close the video prematurely (when one of the older attendings arrived), and everyone said "No!!!" This was during the return part of the ride when the train is speeding and twisting and turning and banking.

They just had to see the end.

I've shown other videos with bigger roller coasters, but none was as well received as yours. I've even shown an animation from a new coaster down south (big park in Atlanta), and people said, "It'll be okay." But The Voyage! What a ride. "It'll be great!"

This is truly going to be one tremendous ride, and you already have the acclaim from a group of nerdy doctors in (big city).

(Perhaps we'll leave the patients for a weekend and caravan on out to Santa Claus in the spring.)

He he.

Just kidding.

Sincerely,

Jason (last name omitted) MD
