(1 stars) - Like it says Just pov of coasters!
You can see povs of every coaster on this dvd on youtube so why spend the 12 bucks? The answer? so you can see mor than just the coaster rides, learn about the parks and see what it is to experience them. Well this DVD does none of that! Not very educational of the parks and even the rides shown. Just plain pov shots that are available anywhere on the web. I wonder if they just downloaded the coaster videos from the internet and then made the dvd. It seems like it because it has no original content! Not even sure if they really shot it themselves. I want documentry style roller coaster and theme park vids, TPR usually doesn not do any documentary stuff about the rides so their dvds (At least the 3 I have) are nothing but a bunch of self obbsessed enthusists that create nothing of content! They should go to film school and then make a real video! I am an award winning filmmaker and I would NEVER put somthing like this on the market in fright that my name would be ruined! THey have promise but they are too chaotic for their own good! MAKE A REAL VIDEO GUYS!

(5 stars) - Roller Coaster Fan Must-Have!
Theme Park Review's "Roller Coasters In The Raw" series are essential for any roller coaster fan. They include extensive video footage without any distracting music or annoying hosts that other roller coaster DVDs have. There is coverage of more European coasters than ever before. The footage is shot exeptionally well. If you are an enthusiast or just someone who enjoys roller coasters, these DVDs surpass expectation and will bring you loads of entertainment.

(5 stars) - amazinnnng!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!Loved this DVD set.I actually received it for my birthday, so it was a great gift. I just ordered vol. 2 today( 5/31/09)! I have to say that between the two types, woodies are my absolute favorite. I loved Hades and the Voyage the most. As for the steelies, The Maverick and Hollywood Dream were my favorites on this volume. Can't wait for the next volumes!!!If you love coaster footage, you cannot go wrong with these DVDs. I will always choose Theme Park Review products over other footage. Get this DVD: you will love it. Just make sure that you cover the ears of your kiddies, for there are swear words in some of the coverage.

(5 stars) - Oh Yes I'm lovin' this DVD
Thank you Theme Park Review for putting out this quality video! "No silly music, no annoying commentaries, JUST ROLLERCOASTER FOOTAGE!" There was no false advertising on the cover box. My favorites would have to be the footage of El Toro and The Voyage from the Woodies (Those rides look incredible). From the Steelies, Maverick (Only because its my favorite rollercoaster) and Tatsu (This ride is just cool to watch in general).

(5 stars) - Coaster POVs The Way The Should Be Seen
"Coasters In The Raw!" Vol. 1 & 2 are a highly recommended set of DVD-Rs from ThemeParkReview.com. If you are going to buy them, do so from their website for $10 a piece. They also have a fantastic 12 volume "Coaster Expedition" series showcasing all of the parks around the world that the C.E. groups have visited over the years. Concerning the "Raw" series, which now has a 3rd set available covering "roller coasters that have been closed, demolished or re-located". As with the first two sets, the third is also separated into "woodies" and "steelies", with 25 POVs for the first and 31 for steelies. This is way more than on the initials sets of the series, which only have 15 rides per type on disc, plus a bonus. In each series, a ride starts with data about it, then multiple views of the coaster in action from around or above it. Then you ride it from beginning to end seated in the front car. After that, you are treated to more multiple angles of the ride in action, sometimes from the rear car looking backwards or up the side. Rob Alvey and his crew always do a spectacular job on their footage, so you will not be disappointed. No other series of DVDs covers them as perfectly as "Coasters In The Raw!", as well as the "Coaster Expedition" series. But, as mentioned, get them from ThemParkReview.com. The purchase goes toward more C.E. trips and future DVDs, especially more "Raw!" discs.
