Movie Reviews of Extreme Rollercoasters
Movie Review: Buy this as an EXTRA dvd
Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes to roller coaster dvd's, there are unfortunately only two choices: you het either an exciting dvd that shows roller coaster rides from your (among others) point of view but gives no information about the coaster whatsoever, or the dvd gives a lot of interesting information but hardly shows any rides.
This is the latter type of dvd. It is very educational and believe me, very interesting. It shows old footage, interviews and a lot of coasters, and does so with a very fast pace. It will keep you interested throughout the movie, but this is not more than a movie. You won't see much of the rides, and it is not a thrill to experience. If that is what you're looking for, I'd recommend buying "America's greatest roller coaster thrills". Buy this one as a bonus if you have any extra money, you won't regret it.
Movie Review: Travel Channel show
Summary: 4 Stars
A great overall video! it was very exciting. lots of behind the scenes and inerviews. not the dvd if u want to see how the rides look if you were actually riding them. It is kind of in a tv show format and wondered why. at the end of the credits it said that it was a travel channel show so u might not want to buy it if you can just record it off the tv. overall a great movieMovie Review: worth watching

This was a very good dvd but the narration was distracting at times. Still a good one to watch on a rainy dayMovie Review: Most of these are NOT "Extreme"
Summary: 2 Stars
This is hardly a survey of "Extreme" coasters, but actually a boring overview of California and Nevada roller coasters. In fact, I'd call this DVD the "Six Flags Magic Mountain" show. At least half of the coasters profiled here would NOT be considered "extreme" by most seasoned coaster buffs. Thus, the title is really misleading and that's just BAD marketing and design. There is a lot of repetitious footage, particularly where it appears there would be commercial interruptions. There's way too much of Mr. Ruben's standard, pedantic, rehearsed commentary which seems to show up in so many DVD's and documentaries of recent years. It's time for other authorities. For two hours this DVD goes on way too long. I only (and reluctantly) finished watching it to make sure my copy was not defective, though I'll probably not watch it again, except for possibly the shots of "X". I have seen (and own) a lot of roller coaster/amusement park video material and this is one of the worst. Avoid this one, unless you have got to have footage of coasters from this part of the U.S.Movie Review: Californian Coasters DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
I want to know where it states only western coasters, mainly Californian ones at that? why not call this DVD coasters of the US west?
What I really wanted to see was a proper state with coasters, and that's Ohio!!!! with Cedar Point with the best ones going, nothing comes close in California to that park.
My best DVD is "America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills: The Ultimate Scream Machines" has Flordia ones included too, beter by far view of them.
