Must have for coaster enthusiasts

This is a great book. An absolute must have for coaster enthusiasts. Even for the casual coaster fan there is a wealth of information and great unbiased comparisons of roller coasters the world over. The only catch is that it current up to 1997, and there have been so many incredible coasters built since then. Regardless, this is still a wonderful point of reference.This book includes a history of roller coasters, lists of the top ten steel and wood coasters (as of 1997), a very full list of all the coasters in the world as of the printing, a top ten list of great amusement parks, and a trip planner that allows you to maximize your coaster experience anywhere in the United States.

The complete guide to rollercoasters as of 1997.

A absolute must have for any coaster enthusiast The detailed descriptions of how a rollercoaster works and of the rides themselves are amazing. This is definitly one of the difinitive sources for rollercoaster information and rewiews of our time.

Overall it has everything a coaster enthusiasts wants in a book, a MUST for any coaster enthusiasts

A great book that is all inclusive up to 1997

I enjoyed this book and it helped me plan my vacation. I last week took a midwest tour. I went to Great America in Gurnee Ill. Then I was at King's Island near Cincinatti. I then went to Kentucky kingdom. I then went to 6 Flags St Louis. This book really inspired the tour. I enjoyed king's Island and Great America the most.This book helped me in terms of where to go first and the negative aspects of each park. I made the most of my vacxation thanks to this book. Still the tour I chose was more a Midwest tour combining the best of several tours. I was doing this for 7 days. But in a 9 day period Ceder Point and the 6 Flags park near Cleveland could be added.

An awesome guide for any coaster lover!

This comprehensive guide is the best book of roller coaster information that I have ever seen. It includes everything from every single roller coaster in operation today, to perfect coastering trips. This guide includes tips for each amusement park that's out there that contains roller coasters. The author did a fantastic job of researching the topic, and the results are wonderful. I am a young coaster enthusiast, and this book has given me all the coaster information I would ever need. In short, it's the perfect book for a roller coaster rider!
