Reviews...

I thoroughly enjoyed both of these programmes. Step back a few decades to marvel at various US parks and roller coasters - many long-lost, and some all but forgotten - as they appeared at that time! My personal highlights were witnessing the coasters (POVs) of Euclid Beach Park (Cleveland, Ohio) which closed for good on Sunday 28 September 1969, and Coney Island's Thunderbolt and Tornado (POVs). A wonderful piece of Americana!
