Thrill Ride: The Science of Fun

Thrill Ride botches its one interesting
subject – amusement park roller coasters – before moving on to an extremely tedious examination of “ride films,” which combine motion simulation and moviemaking. Despite some predictably stimulating first-person shots, most of the technology on display is sadly dated.
