Movie Reviews of Extreme Rollercoasters
Movie Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best rollercoaster DVD I've seen. Two hours of riding, history and technical details. The background material was very interesting. I enjoyed the commentary and riding along with regular folks who love coasters.
I just got back from my riding my favorite coasters at Islands of Adventure dozens of times each. Now I've got to get up the guts to try X. I've never been to Magic Mountain, but it's aboout time. Turns out they've got some cook coasters in Vegas too. Gotta go there. Too bad they only covered California and Vegas. There are some great rides East of the Rockies too. Here's hoping they do them too.
Movie Review: Roller Coaster Lovers DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is awsome!!! The coasters are located in the west coast mainly in California where I used to live. I liked watching this because most of these coasters I've ridin on. Like X, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Riddler's Revenge, Goliath, Superman, ect. The thing that's bad about is that when your riding the coasters, the camera switches to the rider and the front row view too often. But overal this is a coaster fanatic must-have. Go Red Sox!!!Movie Review: BUY IT 5 Stars
This is a great DVD. It shows some of the best coasters around. You are able to see what it is like to ride these rides. You also get to see the faces of the riders,(Who doesn't like the faces of terrified riders?) This DVD has a lot of info in it. So if you don't want a DVD like that don't get it.Movie Review: "Extreme (West Coast) Rollercoasters"
Summary: 4 Stars
Acting as a grab bag of sorts, "Extreme Rollercoasters" highlights a multitude of different coaster types found in California as well as Las Vegas. Including interviews with designers, members of ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts), fans and the like, the DVD is a great look at not only the amount of fun that can be had in west coast parks, but some technical and introspective information concerning how the coasters themselves function.
The amount of physical support that the ride "X" needs is unbelievable!
While I'm a midwesterner with a fondness for Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, I am still a coaster fan at heart. It's very fun to see rides from across the country and watch them be treated with the respect they deserve. The DVD does a good job of hyping rides and parks, but doesn't swoon so much that it becomes "kiss a$$."
I would have prefered the title to reflect the regional feel of the content, considering Cedar Point has been the "rollercoaster capital" for quite some time (and wasn't included in the video), but nevertheless, if you'd like to see some of the most innovative rides the country has to offer, pick up this DVD.
Movie Review: Helped me decide where to take my next vacation!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Extreme Rollercoasters DVD was great fun to watch. What I enjoyed about it, above other movies of this sort, was that it got more in-depth about how they work, how they are created, and what average people as well as "experts" think about the various rollercoasters shown. The visuals were great, and often times I almost felt the excitement instead of just watching it! They focused on quite a few California rollercoasters, so I guess I've got to plan a trip out there soon because I'm missing all of the MOST extreme! I would have liked to have seen more from MY part of the country, though. :-) I didn't care for the occasional summary of what you'd just viewed, almost like watching it on television and coming back from a commercial break -- it seemed to just take up time. I assume they do that because on the DVD you can either watch the whole thing, or just pick which coasters you'd like to view one by one.
Overall, an excellent choice if you're a fan of rollercoasters!
