This book gives you a complete history and reference of roler coasters of America. The reference goes alphabetically by states. It even gives you Canada! I enjoyed this book because I am a roller coaster lover.

This is an excellent photo/fact-book for anyone looking to find that dream "thrill excursion". Any time roller coasters sneek into my day dreams I find myself, all too soon, browsing through these pages. Throgmorton is obviously a long time enthusiast, but doesn't go into the long (and boring) personal views of our "addiction". Also; a terrific collection of photos, even in black and white. I payed twenty for it at Tower Books, so this is a good deal! Bravo! Greg Shields

As a member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts, this was the first book I ever bought purely on roller coasters. It tells a fairly accurate history of the roller coaster and, state by state, lists the major coasters (at the time it was published) in the United States. I was disappointed that some of the smaller parks and their coasters were left out. But overall a fairly good book for the coaster enthusiast.

The book is a must for any coaster fans like me,still it`s a desapointement for the B & W pictures,I would have prefer a book with full color pics,even if it ment paying an higher price. Since those thrill rides are always painted with great colors.The details about each coasters though...is worth the buy !!

This book is great for people who want to know about the history of roller coasters and want to see listings from the fastest roller coasters to the longest roller coasters. This book is great for every roller coaster lover especially people who are just getting into roller coasters. And If anybody out there is a roller coaster fanatic and want's to become a roller coaster designer like me email me at Kicker3787. Oh and if anybody out there would like some information on amusement parks for vacation or just knowledge email me.

very very long and boring with bad grammer used and such. Also very few pictures which were what i was looking for.
