4.0 out of 5 stars Helped me decide where to take my next vacation!, August 13, 2003

This review is from: Extreme Rollercoasters (DVD)

The Extreme Rollercoasters DVD was great fun to watch. What I enjoyed about it, above other movies of this sort, was that it got more in-depth about how they work, how they are created, and what average people as well as "experts" think about the various rollercoasters shown. The visuals were great, and often times I almost felt the excitement instead of just watching it! They focused on quite a few California rollercoasters, so I guess I've got to plan a trip out there soon because I'm missing all of the MOST extreme! I would have liked to have seen more from MY part of the country, though. :-)

I didn't care for the occasional summary of what you'd just viewed, almost like watching it on television and coming back from a commercial break -- it seemed to just take up time. I assume they do that because on the DVD you can either watch the whole thing, or just pick which coasters you'd like to view one by one.

Overall, an excellent choice if you're a fan of rollercoasters!

1.0 out of 5 stars Its a Promotion Film not a Thrill Ride, July 12, 2006

This review is from: Extreme Rollercoasters (DVD)

You will love these DVDs if you like to see the rider's mouth open and having a great time. Very little eyeing the experience of the actual ride looking foward. The film camera is always recording backwards at the riders with their months open. I could see the same thing on the Discovery Channel or any promotional film. This one really sucks. A thrills ride dvd is having the camera recording forward as the coaster runs a full lap. It doesn't happen on this promotion film dvd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this as an EXTRA dvd, June 10, 2005

This review is from: Extreme Rollercoasters (DVD)

When it comes to roller coaster dvd's, there are unfortunately only two choices: you het either an exciting dvd that shows roller coaster rides from your (among others) point of view but gives no information about the coaster whatsoever, or the dvd gives a lot of interesting information but hardly shows any rides.

This is the latter type of dvd. It is very educational and believe me, very interesting. It shows old footage, interviews and a lot of coasters, and does so with a very fast pace. It will keep you interested throughout the movie, but this is not more than a movie. You won't see much of the rides, and it is not a thrill to experience. If that is what you're looking for, I'd recommend buying "America's greatest roller coaster thrills". Buy this one as a bonus if you have any extra money, you won't regret it.
