Summary: No coffee table should be without this conversation piece!
Review: By far the most definitive book on coasters. From the history of coasting to todays' modern steel and wooden marvels, you will be impressed with David Bennetts' knowledge and photography of all the major theme parks around the world. He also includes information on some of the lessor known parks and their rollercoasters. This is the most up-to-date book yet on the subject. Coaster enthusiasts will not be disappointed!

Summary: Great photos, but some serious errors.
Review: First of all, the photos in this book are just great! There are loads of excellent panoramic photos of big rides (Raptor and Mean Streak for example). The book also gives a good insight in the history of roller coasters.
Unfortunately there are some major mistakes. One example: It has a chapter about roller coaster designers which among others featuers Anton Schwarzkopf, who actually never designed a ride by himself. He was a great roller coaster builder, but all of his designs were done by a brilliant engineer named Werner Stengel. He designed about half of all coasters still running today (rides like Mantis, Raptor, Millennium Force, Great American Revolution, Expedition GeForce...) and is not mentioned in this book at all.
This from my point of view is serious and makes me thinking about what else is wrong in this book which I don't know about...

Summary: Rollercoaster - A Great Book
Review: Hello, everyone. I definately recommend this book for anyone as crazy about rollercoasters as myself. It is an excellent book, with parks and rides from all over the world. There are many, many colorful photos. If you're into coaster history, this has about two whole chapters devoted to the coaster past and origin. If you want to know where you can ride all sorts of coasters, or want to know what coasters are in the park you are going to next, this book has it all. Unfortunately, however, with the constant changing of the coaster world, this book is going to be out-of-date shortly, however, it is a great buy right now! I encourage you greatly to buy this book.Happy Coastering!

Summary: Incredible!
Review: I had always been on the prowl of an awesome roller coaster book. I could never find one though. They were hard to find! Well, I received this book as a gift, and when I got it, I immediately looked through it. It had tons of information, from the history of rollercoasters, to the science of them, to today's coasters (Although they are really yesterday's since we have had tons of new designs this year and the book was made in 1998). This book is completely filled with photos, and jam-packed with information. Almost 200 pages! Almost every page has full color photos (except old ones, which are still great quality)! If you are even one bit interested in thrill rides, this book is for you! Well worth the price! You won't be disappointed! I highly suggest this book to the roller coaster lover who is on a frantic search for a great book! In the back it contains a listing of every park with roller coasters, and lists every roller coaster in that park with the kind of coaster it is! VERY USEFUL! You're gonna LOVE this book. Countless number of Cedar Point photos! Need I say more? This is the best book yet! I'm sure better ones are due out in the near future, but this is the greatest book of THIS time! A must-buy!
