Summary: America's Greatest in 3D.....Pt. 3...OOOOPS...
Comment: I'm sorry, I mixed America's greatest & America's Greatest Volume 2 together, the Great Nor'ester & Wild Thing are on Volume 2 (but what I said about the way they were done is still true I just didn't realize I made a boo boo til now, sorry about that!).

Comment: I forgot to mention that Kumba also just shows one view but I was very disappointed that it didn't show the entire coaster or at least from riders point of view, this is one coaster that's not featured much at all, if any other time & would've been nice to see more of it.

Summary: America's Greatest in 3D.....
Comment: Well, since it is the 2nd of this series (as far as I know)I think they were still trying to work out the 'bugs' from the first video, "Roller Coaster Thrills" (which I thought should've been 'cut' a LOT better BTW & assuming these videos are related too of course). This video was great as far as having a great number & variety of coasters plus background info on them as well. I thought the hosts did a fine job except for the stupid supposedly 'humorus' parts where Eric was 'teasing' Lisa, it really took away from the video--if they would've left that out it would've been better, also, on virtually every coaster was the SAME scream track--it was SOOO annoying, just having a good music background would've been fine. The "special effects" on Nor'ester & Wild Thing--VERY annoying & unneccessary! I, apparantly, rec'd different 3D glasses (mine have lenses different colors than other posters stated) so the 3D effect was pretty good but still looked fine w/o. All in all, it's a good video having 2 views of every coaster except The Beast. It shows 2 coasters, Drachan Fire & Steel Phantom (RIP) which I never got to ride so I'm glad to at least have this to experience them. All in all, it's a great video to have for the coasters (for me anyway). I watch it a LOT! (I have VHS btw.)

Comment: The dvd is not true 3d.
It is very disappointing!!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: For History and coaster fans AOK for 3D ...P.U.!!!
Comment: What can you say about highly touted 3d effects from a coaster video when the best 3d in the whole show comes form the swings and the carousel? You got ripped,that's what. The Show itself is a pleasant enough kid friendly account about the fastest and tallest coasters at the time but it rarely goes in depth about anything especially the 3d.The Pulfrich system of grey and clear lenses makes anything that moves from left to right 3d to a degree so save the glasses for sports shows and what not untill your bored with them but the coaster film to be shot in true 3D has yet to be made.

The back of this DVD case boasts, "It's almost better than being on board!" Is it? Well, no, unless roller coasters give you motion sickness, in which case you might be better off watching them on your TV set. The strength of this 82-minute DVD is not that it re-creates the heart-stopping thrill of hurtling down that first steep drop. Rather, it gives coaster enthusiasts an added appreciation for the latest innovations in roller coaster design, from the eight loops of the Dragon Khan (the most on a single coaster) to Germany's Olympic Looping Ban (which is reassembled repeatedly as it travels from city to city) to the terrifying height of England's Pepsi Max. Two pairs of 3-D glasses are included with the DVD, but the footage looks just fine viewed without them and is less likely to give you a headache. To avoid the pompous narration and riders' comments, skip to chapter 16 for a first-person perspective of all 14 rides. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
