(5 stars) - very thrilling!
This was a gift for my son who loves rollercoasters... He really enjoyed this and made the entire family want to take a trip around the country to visit all the roller coasters featured.... very fun video... nicely done
Well worth it!

(4 stars) - Family encounter
I thought it brought our whole family together for an invigorating trip through history and fun. We popped the popcorn and it was on...when it was over we felt like we had been to the amusement park...get it

(1 stars) - Don't waste your money
If you want first person ride along, don't order this DVD. It only gives you a couple of seconds of riding from the rider's point of view. The rest of the time you are looking back at the riders in the coaster as they scream and have fun and as you ride backwards in the camera view.

(5 stars) - Really Thrilling
This is a great dvd from beginning to end. My 16 year old special needs daughter watches it over and over again. I usually get tired of watching the same dvd over and over but this one is an exception. I give this dvd 2 thumbs up.

(1 stars) - Buck from Downunda
Only one star, because it's not possible to give a 1/2 star.
This was a great disappointment to me. Whatever possessed the producers to release this DVD as it is, is beyond me.

Yes it goes into detail about:
Where the rides are.
The ride: length; height; speed; designers etc. but fails to deliver what I expected, which was a 1st person perspective.

What you get, at a conservative ratio estimate is:
5% 1st person view (your view as the rider)
40% 2nd person view (your face as you are on the ride)
55% 3rd person view (the ride viewed from all different angles)

If the producers of this DVD are trying to promote the rides AND this DVD, then I think they need to give you the three options above for the whole ride i.e. 100% of all 3 views from a selectable menu, as per...
1st person view would let you know exactly what to expect on the ride. It would also give those unfortunate enough not to be able to actually get on these rides a chance to "ride the rollercoaster" at home.
2nd person view would give you the impression that there is a hold-up in progress when everyone puts their arms in the air...seriously though it would let you see the expressions on the faces of the people on the ride like the "horror look" as they face that first drop. It could also give you a "rear view" look of the ride as well.
3rd person view would give you an overall appreciation of the ride viewed from all different angles and the construction that went into it.

Giving you the option of 3 different viewing angles would make this a far better product and a worthy addition to any DVD collection.....something for the producers of this type of product to think about.
