Customer Reviews of America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills in 3-D, Volume 1
Corny, but I really liked it I watched this video for the first time over a year ago, and I have to say that it could have been a LOT better. I'd like to state a couple disavantages to this DVD that could have been prevented:
1) I don't know which TV the glasses included work best for. They didn't really work for mine.
2) The sound editors used the same sound effects over and over on almost every ride. I say, that can be irritating. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see this.
3) The quality of the video isn't quite perfect either, at least on a few coasters. At least they didn't show the whole ride on Kumba from front row. Overall, the video is average.
Overall, this DVD is OK; still recommended for hardcore coaster fans.
Well, God Bless!
thrilling
This color 3D video movie shows all the super roller coaster rides in the US. With the special glasses provided, you see depth of the images. A nice effect. But the best 3D images come from the computor generated graphics showing the titles & construction of the roller coasters. They appear to "pop out" of your TV screen, a pretty cool effect thanks to computor immaging. Also, if you choose not to wear the special polarized glasses, it just appears to be a normal movie. I enjoyed the watching the special effects. It's also in Surround Sound.
Could have been better
Fourteen of America's best roller coasters (at least one is now defunct). I mainly bought this because it has my all time fave coaster on it, The Beast. I found several things wrong with it however.
The hosts are very annoying. If you've ever watched the "Dinosaurs" documentaries, you will remember Eric Boardman. I thought he sucked as a host for the Dinosaurs shows and he sucks even worse as a roller coaster show host.
The cameras did not carry you all the way through the rides on several of the coasters. Like, the car would go down the hill, and just as it was coming out of the tunnel (ie The Beast) they pulled the camera away and showed it coming out. Way disappointing.
The non exsistent 3-D. Like several other reviewers have said, there was barely any difference between with the glasses or without the glasses.
Annoying guys who seemed to be on EVERY SINGLE COASTER FEATURED who screamed non stop throughout the entire ride and cheesy music playing in the background.
Now the good things:
Interviews with Ron Toomer, one of the designers for Arrow Dynamics, the company who built alot of these coasters.
Interview with Ray Eubrough(sp?) the president of the American Coaster Enthusiasts (at least he was at the time this was filmed)
The statistics of all the coasters featured and, if it didn't show the ride all the way through, an idea of how the ride goes.
At least during the winter I can still watch this and attempt to pretend I'm riding my fave. Overall a good documentary if you can't get to an amusement park anytime soon to REALLY ride and good to tide you over through the winter months.
