By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like coasters....Throgmorton is a friend indeed!, June 7, 1997

By A Customer

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.
