Summary: MEDIOCRE FILLER MUSIC + AMATEUR FOOTAGE = FALLS FAR THIN
Review: This video is a rip-off if you have to pay $20 or more, but $14 wouldn't be that bad. The multiple-angle-of-choice features could've been a whole lot better, at least on SOME coasters (Viper's footage seriously mediocre compared to Great White and Timberwolf on Vol. 2.) And where's Millennium Force at Cedar Point? There could've just been a re-issue of the volumes of the past, with frequent up-to-date info, (though Vol. 1 features the World Trade Towers, and they should be chopped off the video since both towers tumbled to the ground.) instead of recycled footage of volume 1.

Most of this video is just dreck. Could've been much better with a higher budget.

Summary: Sounds yight
Review: This video will be my first ever so I'll automatically will think its the bst out there. In the last few years I've loved rollercaster thrills so much I visited all of the theme parks in Texas. I've loved them but I'd like to see more. This summer Im going to Florida so I want to see the rollercoasters from there also. I think it sounds great, Im getting mine tomorrow ad Im excited about it a lot. One word of advice for all of ya'll chickens out therethat don't like rollercoasters, live a little!!!

Summary: DVD doesn't live up to magnitude of rides
Review: When I saw the list of coasters that would be featured on this DVD, I was instantly turned on. The quality however, leaves something to be desired.

First problem is mastering. It's possible that I got a bad disc, but there are drop-outs on several tracks.

The second is the actual POV that they use. Most of it is park-sponsored, and much of it shot on sub-par tape formats that look ugly for DVD. Switching views only works some of the time, and rides like Dueling Dragons only show you one side of the ride.

The graphics follow a random standard of fonts and information included, and make the show as a whole seem like a high school video product.

When will someone who really knows what they're doing shoot one of these videos?
