Summary: disappointing 3D effects
Review: I was anticipating a 3D experience with the roller coaster rides and I was disappointed. The commentary by the presenters before the coaster ride was irritatingly long. The 3D effects were minimal and sometimes not noticeable at all. I put the glasses on my mother, and she couldn't see any difference between 2D and what was supposed to be 3D. There were some wildlife shots which proved to be more effective in 3D. If one is to compare this 3D movie with something like IMAX, then don't. I tried the CD on a wide flatscreen 32" TV and also on my computer monitor. Neither gave the 3D effect I was expecting. A waste of money.

Summary: Corny, but I really liked it
Review: I watched this video for the first time over a year ago, and I have to say that it could have been a LOT better. I'd like to state a couple disavantages to this DVD that could have been prevented:1) I don't know which TV the glasses included work best for. They didn't really work for mine. 2) The sound editors used the same sound effects over and over on almost every ride. I say, that can be irritating. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see this. 3) The quality of the video isn't quite perfect either, at least on a few coasters. At least they didn't show the whole ride on Kumba from front row. Overall, the video is average. Overall, this DVD is OK; still recommended for hardcore coaster fans. Well, God Bless!

Summary: One start is one too many
Review: In short: What a waste of money. If I didn't view my purchase of this DVD as a joke, I would be sorely disappointed. The so-called 3D effects are anything but stunning and 3D. The audio reminds one of an 8-track and the video could make one sick (due to poor quality). All in all, the 3D does not work, audio and video are poor, and why not visit a real theme park rather than expirence it vicariously on DVD

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: It was good when it came to coasters but the hosts and the 3-D stuff does not help. The 3-d stuff doesn't even work. Great coasters though. All together it was pretty good. END

Summary: thrilling
Review: This color 3D video movie shows all the super roller coaster rides in the US. With the special glasses provided, you see depth of the images. A nice effect. But the best 3D images come from the computor generated graphics showing the titles & construction of the roller coasters. They appear to "pop out" of your TV screen, a pretty cool effect thanks to computor immaging. Also, if you choose not to wear the special polarized glasses, it just appears to be a normal movie. I enjoyed the watching the special effects. It's also in Surround Sound.

Summary: This is for kids, not dvd fans!
Review: This is a fun documentary to watch..... once. Don't expect IMAX or so. Nevertheless, the final chapter (Front car center) brings you the whole tour summarized as 18 or so rides from the passenger's view, which will surely delight your kids every now and then. The 3D effect works only sometimes and the video quality is irregular. Be aware that this is not stuff for dvd maniacs but for kids.

Summary: Awsome Footage, but Lacks New Age Scream Machines
Review: This is a great video. I own it. This video shows rides like Raptor, Drachen Fire, Viper, Kumba, and even Steel Phantom. The video comes with 3-D glasses that aren't very affective. Before each ride it shows you all of the statistics. It has an interview with the amazing designer Ron Toomer. Most of the coasters in the video are made by the greatest designers Bolliger and Mabillard. I have ridden 5 of the coasters featured and I love them all. I suggest you get the second version of the video because it has newer coasters like Mantis wich is one of my personal favorites.
