If you love roller coasters, this DVD probably won't be a substitute for riding in the front car--but it may help you plan your next vacation. This 67-minute tour climbs aboard 16 coasters in the U.S., including the oldest still in operation, the Jack Rabbit in Kennywood, Pennsylvania, built in 1921; the tallest (at the time this DVD was produced, 1996), Wild Thing in Scakopee, Minnesota, featuring a 200-foot drop; and the highest, the High Roller, which twists at an altitude of 1,000 feet at the Top of the World in Las Vegas. The DVD offers a first-person perspective ride on most of the coasters, filmed in 3-D. Two pairs of 3-D glasses are included with the DVD, but the effect is only occasionally noticeable. Fortunately, the footage is just as exciting viewed without them. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

For History and coaster fans AOK for 3D ...P.U.!!!.......2005-08-30
What can you say about highly touted 3d effects from a coaster video when the best 3d in the whole show comes form the swings and the carousel? You got ripped,that's what. The Show itself is a pleasant enough kid friendly account about the fastest and tallest coasters at the time but it rarely goes in depth about anything especially the 3d.The Pulfrich system of grey and clear lenses makes anything that moves from left to right 3d to a degree so save the glasses for sports shows and what not untill your bored with them but the coaster film to be shot in true 3D has yet to be made.

coaster.......2002-12-03
this is the best coaster video i have ever seen. the color is funny on two of the coasters
Good, but bad at the same time.......2002-03-01
This video brings you fourteen Roller Coasters from all over the United States. The film had its drawbacks and some good features but not many. The good qualities: excellent car-mounted picture quality of the front row of most of the coasters, wide range of coasters shown, and interesting narrative. The bad qualities: Why anyone would want to film an indoor Roller Coaster (in the dark) is beyond me (if you want to see the exact same coaster, but outside, see the third video in this series), two of the coasters had post-production movement shadows added, which really [messed] up the entire trip, Mantis never really had the front-car view, and the ?3-D? features are non-existent.
Best DVD E-V-E-R!.......2002-02-28
I am a roller coaster enthusiast and i love this DVD. After shipment before expected, I was glue to the computer screen. It consists of: The Comet, Lake George, NY; The Great Nor'Easter (POV footage was in all blue! :( ), Wildwood, NJ; The Great White, Wildwood,NJ; Grizzly,PKD; High Roller, Las Vegas, NV; Jack Rabbit, Pittsburgh, PA; Mantis, Sandusky, OH; Montu, BGT; Wild Thing(POV footage was only in red! :( )and many more. Much better than World's Greatest!
Extremly Fun and Exciting.......2001-05-08
This movie was very good. It showed many great coasters but the company (Goldhill) could of saved their money by not using the effects's. If you enjoyed the first two in the series you will enjoy this one. If you enjoy woodies definintly purchase this because it has many classic woodies.
