not informative...or honest [Posted on 2006-02-23]
this is a poorly made video. It's a poorly researced supposedly 'independent' guide to the best rollar coasters. However, strangely, only coasters on the west coast are highlighted and even more strange Magic mountain seems to be the center of attention.
Some of these coasters look good, but a roller coaster guide that doesn't include Ohio or Florida is at best incomplete.

Its a Promotion Film not a Thrill Ride [Posted on 2006-07-13]
You will love these DVDs if you like to see the rider's mouth open and having a great time. Very little eyeing the experience of the actual ride looking foward. The film camera is always recording backwards at the riders with their months open. I could see the same thing on the Discovery Channel or any promotional film. This one really sucks. A thrills ride dvd is having the camera recording forward as the coaster runs a full lap. It doesn't happen on this promotion film dvd.

worth watching [Posted on 2006-07-28]
This was a very good dvd but the narration was distracting at times. Still a good one to watch on a rainy day

BUY IT FAST!!!!!!!!!! [Posted on 2007-03-24]
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.

"Extreme (West Coast) Rollercoasters" [Posted on 2008-01-25]
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.
