Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my roller coaster obsessed 9 year old son. He loved it! There a lots of excellent pictures and he also manages to find most of the text understandable, despite only being 9. However I think older readers would find this an interesting book.
Format:Paperback
This book contains lots of useful information, however it does have some very obvious omissions in its coaster census, notably smaller and seemingly unimportant steel rides. Also within are some informational errors in the ride descriptions, as well as a typo here and there. But there are many nice full color pictures and enough content to give you idea where the nation's most well known parks and coasters are; but for the hard-core enthusiast, this book can be somewhat of a disapointment, and rather than reading it for what it has, you begin to look for the next error.

Hello, to all of you roller coaster fans! Well, you don't have to be a coaster fan like me to enjoy this book. It has really good COLOR pictures, (I love the one on page 48!) Not only does it have great clor pics in it, but it provides exellent info on where the best coasters are, and what they are like. Also, if you need to find a book where it locates just about every coaster in the world, I would reccomend: The Roller Coaster Lover's Companion, by Steven J. Urbanowicz. (You'll find that I have written a review for that book too.) That one's really good also. By the way, if anyone loves roller coasters like I do, and they've been to Cedar Point, EMAIL ME!
