I'm thinking of asking Santa for some coaster DVD's this Christmas, and was wondering what the best one is? If anyone has got one or more, and could say which one(s) they liked the most, I'd be grateful. Thanks!

Andy, the best person I know to ask about Coaster DVDs is Greg. When IV.com was still running he purchased several DVDs of coaster footage. So I am sure he knows which are the best of the best ones.

The two already mentioned are really good ones, also America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills 1 and 2 are both great in DVD, not sure if World's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills is on DVD yet, last time I checked I couldn't find it on DVD, but oh well, we'll see.

Ya that one is good, I have it. By the way (in case the pic doesnt show) I'm talking about America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills.
Its a little outdated though, and to save time it cuts a piece out of RRv and speeds up Medusa East but actually speeding it up makes it really fun lol. Also Superman @ SFDL's camera is in a horrible position and they only show one side of Dueling Dragons (Fire). What else...oh yeah sometimes the music selections make a coaster seem more boring but meh thats no biggie. Im making it sound bad its a great DVD and you can see 3 views:

@ 1st person
@ Different view points
@ Looking back on the riders so you can see their faces

And it also has some interesting features. Hmmm anything else I can say. Oh yes...does anyone know a DVD that has an on-ride of Millenium Force?

I think that I am going to get a couple DVD's this year. Um, are there any others that are really good, and at least kind of up to date?

I love that DVD. I love the view of the girl on Volcano, just the expression on her face while on the ride. To me that's what riding a coaster is all about. At first she is nervous as they are about to launch. After the launch, you can tell how excited and happy she is on the ride. She kicks her legs and throws her arms up inot the air wildly and screams out of excitement. That's riding coasters to me!

i have both of these and they dont really seem that 3 d to me

Andy Rathe, I see that you live in Eng. so you might like "world's greatest roller coasters" because they are more mostly from Europe. But then you might want to have the one with coasters that you haven't ridden very much and if thats the case, I would chose "America's greatest rollercoasters, volume 2". Still you will be happy with which ever one you get.

I have this one (Ultimate Scream Machines), but it's got an error on it. It locks up on Ghostrider, Superman, and Steel Phantom. I can't watch them.. I've returned it three times and they all have errors in the same place. I gave up.
