Customer Reviews

A highly original Roller Coaster 'text book'
Yes, this could almost be classed as a text book. It has everything! A history of roller coasters, information on most of the companys that design them, descriptions of some of the better-known rides, top 5 lists, ideas for trips, listings of parks, you name it, this book probably has it! Oh, apart from one thing: it doesn't have colour pictures. Other than that, it's awesome, possibly 'perfect'! A must have to any roller coaster lover.

Lots of Info, but colour photos would have been nice!
Lots and lots of info including designers/manufacturers, ratings of great coasters, an intensity and ride quality rating for almost every ride known on the planet and along with top five lists, trip ideas(what parks are near each other) and a terminology list, it makes a great book!!!

A comprehensive reference book
This text heavy book makes up for the lack of colour photos with an extensive list of seemingly every custom designed coaster in the world! As well as numerous "Top 5" lists, the author gives his opinion on each ride's intensity and quality.
