Another continent, more theme parks, more
roller coasters, and more freedom? Alvey and his crew have gone and done it
again with their newest brainchild called European Extravaganza! This new
coaster DVD, number 6 in the collection, is packed with more great shots, funny
moments, and more freedom in parks than America would ever allow.
This season Alvey and his gang take off to Europe to cover 26 parks, including
some of the biggest and baddest coasters that Europe has to offer, such as the
famous Expedition Ge-force. But that's not all, as it also highlights those
lesser-known parks and coasters as well. Each park segment is cleverly edited
like only Theme Park Review knows how: Crazy scenes, amazing angles, and silly
pop music.
As we all know, American amusement laws and policies are very
limiting. On this European adventure, we get an education on the ride policies
in countries less strict than our own. Before watching this DVD, the phrase
"Self Operated Ride," was not in my coaster vocabulary. After a glance at all of
the fun and interesting rides Europe boasts, it really made me want to take a
trip across the pond to check it out for myself. European humor is also in a
league of its own, and sure enough, TPR captures this in each and every segment.
And this is only disc 1!
Disc 2 includes Point-of-view (POV) and on-ride footage of more than 50 roller
coasters and rides throughout Europe. These shots are very hard to find, yet TPR
manages to give you a one of a kind look at each and every ride.
The final disc includes homemade amateur videos from the
Theme Park Review 2nd annual video competition 2005. Each of these videos were
made by contestants in parks or on rides of their choice. 19 Entries are
included on this disc. If your video is not on this disc, the other entries will
be included on Coaster Expedition Volume 7. Volume 7 will include an East Coast
Coaster production made by our very own Brian Shinsec, who offers a view of Six
Flags Marine World.
With over 3 hours of roller coaster shots, TPR antics, music
that makes you want to get up and dance, and so much Europeanness, what more
could you possibly ask for? I know. A ride on The Michael Jackson Coaster of
course!
