Description:

The back of this DVD case boasts, "It's almost better than being on board!" Is it? Well, no, unless roller coasters give you motion sickness, in which case you might be better off watching them on your TV set. The strength of this 82-minute DVD is not that it re-creates the heart-stopping thrill of hurtling down that first steep drop. Rather, it gives coaster enthusiasts an added appreciation for the latest innovations in roller coaster design, from the eight loops of the Dragon Khan (the most on a single coaster) to Germany's Olympic Looping Ban (which is reassembled repeatedly as it travels from city to city) to the terrifying height of England's Pepsi Max. Two pairs of 3-D glasses are included with the DVD, but the footage looks just fine viewed without them and is less likely to give you a headache. To avoid the pompous narration and riders' comments, skip to chapter 16 for a first-person perspective of all 14 rides. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
