America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills may make you dizzy. It might make you grab the arms of your chair and scream. It could even make you sick to your stomach. Yes, that's how good it is. A roller coaster is one of those things, like licorice or Grateful Dead music, that not everyone likes, but if people do like it, they like it a lot. And this tape is a treat for those fanatics who just can't get enough of the joys of speed, vertigo, and disorientation. Profiling more than a dozen coasters across America, the video includes interviews with roller coaster designers and aficionados, although the great rides steal the show. The camera climbs aboard the ride so the viewer gets to experience roller coasters from the point of view of a passenger. And there are plenty of wild camera angles as the new generation of thematic roller coasters feature not only intense drops, but often have a portion of the ride where the passengers, and in this case the camera, find themselves speeding along while upside down. The camera work is excellent throughout, and though it isn't a substitute for that churning in your guts when the roller coaster you're riding begins an impossibly steep drop, this is about as good as it can get on video. --Robert J. McNamara
