Description:
If you love roller coasters, this DVD probably won't be a substitute for riding in the front car--but it may help you plan your next vacation. This 67-minute tour climbs aboard 16 coasters in the U.S., including the oldest still in operation, the Jack Rabbit in Kennywood, Pennsylvania, built in 1921; the tallest (at the time this DVD was produced, 1996), Wild Thing in Scakopee, Minnesota, featuring a 200-foot drop; and the highest, the High Roller, which twists at an altitude of 1,000 feet at the Top of the World in Las Vegas. The DVD offers a first-person perspective ride on most of the coasters, filmed in 3-D. Two pairs of 3-D glasses are included with the DVD, but the effect is only occasionally noticeable. Fortunately, the footage is just as exciting viewed without them. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
