Summary: Exciting and Energetic Ride
Review: America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills in 3-D is a consistently fun and informative video. As an avid thrill-seeker and adrenalin junkie, this video has given me a dose of what I miss during off-seasons. Goldhil needs to release a new volume annually to keep up with the ever-increasing thrills that newly inhabit amusement parks each year. It's lots of fun if you have any liking towards roller coasters.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not great
Review: Having owned the first two videos in the series, I was suprised by the lack of quality. Some of the first person coaster rides are ruined by stupid effects, others by the setting sun, and the choices are strange (why film a coaster that's in the dark? ) But, if you're a coaster enthusiast, you'll like it nonetheless.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best DVD E-V-E-R!
Review: 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!

Summary: Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I liked it alot. It is one of the best video's I have ever seen. I have two complaints. One is that they barely show Grizzly in the front seat and the lighting on Phoenix was kind of dark. Also The Great Nor'Easter and Wild Thing had a weird effect to it when you were riding it but they had a good 3-D look to them. Overall this Dvd is one of the best I've seen. Enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie was really good.
Review: I really enjoyed the movie. They truly picked excellent rides. I do have some complaints. The dumb thing they did with The Great Nor'Easter and Wild Thing was just totally dumb on their part. I really don't mind the one on The Great Nor'Easter because I have ridden the copy that WAS at Opryland. Opryland no longer exists. You can only get half the expierence by watching the tape, but that should be understood. The other complaint was the lighting, but at least they made the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: For Rollercoaster Fans Only
Review: In my newfound fanaticism of rollercoasters, this is the first rollercoaster video I bought. I have to say that I am satisfied, but people who are not coaster enthusiasts will not be pleased with the video.

The video quality is very inconsistent. When the lighting is right, the resolution of DVD really makes the coasters look good; however, the lighting is far too often lacking, such as when they filmed a coaster at sundown or night, or when they decided to add The Outer Limits to the video (an indoor dark coaster just doesn't show up very well). There also appears to be some glitches (more specifically, a thick line at the bottom of the screen-this could be limited to my copy though), but they are not distracting.

The sound in this video is merely mediocre. It is in stereo, not Dolby Digital, so if you are buying this video as a showcase for your surround-sound system, you will want to pass. The music is decent, and doesn't detract from the experience. The actual sounds of the coasters rolling and the people screaming are well done. Overall, the sound isn't bad, but I would love to hear a coaster roaring by in Dolby Digital 5.1.

The 3D glasses added a little to the video, but not much. They don't really make a difference either way, so it's your call.

The best part of this video is its selection of coasters (I will use brackets [] to separate each coaster): The Comet at Great Escape, Lake George, NY [] The Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Pier, Wildwood, NJ [] The Great White at Morey's Pier, Wildwood, NJ [] Grizzly at Paramount's King's Dominion, Doswell, VA [] The High Roller on the Stratosphere Tower, Las Vegas, NV [] Jack Rabbit at Kennywood, Pittsburgh, PA [] Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA [] Mantis at Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH [] Montu at Busch Gardens, Tampa, FL [] Outer Limits Flight of Fear at Paramount's King's Dominion, Doswell, VA [] The Phoenix at Knoebels, Elysburg, PA [] The Raven at Holiday World, Santa Clause, IN [] Timberwolf at Worlds of Fun, Kansas City, MO [] Wild Thing at Valleyfair, Scakopee MN.

As you can see, the selection is excellent.

My main complaint with this video is the computer effects added to The Great Nor'Easter and Wild Thing. They detract from the experience to the extent that these two on-ride videos are unwatchable. Notwithstanding, the rest of the coasters on the video make up for this flaw and as long as Goldhil doesn't do this again, they are forgiven.

In summary, this DVD is for rollercoaster fans only.
