Customer Reviews

If you like coasters....Throgmorton is a friend indeed!
This is an excellent photo/fact-book for anyone looking to find that dream "thrill excursion". Any time roller coasters sneek into my day dreams I find myself, all too soon, browsing through these pages. Throgmorton is obviously a long time enthusiast, but doesn't go into the long (and boring) personal views of our "addiction". Also; a terrific collection of photos, even in black and white. I payed twenty for it at Tower Books, so this is a good deal! Bravo! Greg Shields

Includes a great story of the history of roller coasters
This book is great for people who want to know about the history of roller coasters and want to see listings from the fastest roller coasters to the longest roller coasters. This book is great for every roller coaster lover especially people who are just getting into roller coasters. And If anybody out there is a roller coaster fanatic and want's to become a roller coaster designer like me email me at Kicker3787. Oh and if anybody out there would like some information on amusement parks for vacation or just knowledge email me.
