(2. Not sure exactly how long, I think both tapes are a little over an hour.
(3. POVs are very good; Robb handles the camera well.

I just got them a couple weeks ago, OMG!!!! They are so good. The povs are usually always a complete Pov from the point of the crest of the lift hill to the brake run, and they are a tad bit shaky, but not too much. There are usually a couple off ride shots of each coaster as well. That is "Robb Alvey's Coaster Footage 2001".
As far as "Robb Alvey's coaster season", that is okay, but doesn't feature near as much POV footage and does have some points were him and his wife and friends will cut in for like two seconds to say a couple words.
If oyu like amusment parks as well as coasters, buy both. If you just like coasters, buy the coaster one. Either way, well worth the money.

Six Flags Marine World..... Wild Life AND Wild Rides!
I bought both videos months ago, and i LOVE them both. You should definitely pay the $15 to get both videos. The season is great, i've watched it 20+ times, and the footage video is amazing, not shaky. Robb Alvey's tapes are masterpieces, and well worth the money. You'd be foolish not to buy them. Great Job Robb, can't wait to see next year's tapes.
I forgot, the season tape is 1 hr, and 20 minutes.
The footage tape is 1 hr.
Buy them, today!

CoastaPlaya,Robb hasn't confirmed my e-mail yet either.I keep checking my mailbox in hopes that the tapes show up.
Great photo of you and your daughter in your profile,CoastaPlaya! I know who your riding partner is going to be when they get a little older.I have a grand daughter who is about the same age.I have taken her on some kiddy coasters.While the kiddy coasters aren't much of a thrill for me,the joy and laughter that comes over her while riding is my thrill.She usually says at the end of the ride"Papa,lets' go again!"

Actually, that's an old photo. CoastaMidget is 5 years old now and I'm not sure if she's over 46" or inching dangerously close to 48". She just boarded her first looper (BGT's Scorpion) three weeks ago.
But she'll be her mommie's riding partner. Her big sister (CoastaBaby) has always been my partner since she was 2 1/2. During the same said trip, she boarded her first 3 B&Ms. What a trip.

I didn't think it was his wife?
Robb's videos are very good. They're shot w/ a Digital Video camera. But after watching it the first time, I have to have my own music playing now. ;) I guess I'm too old to enjoy a lot of the music used. I can't get that cheezy Around The World (La La La La La) by ATC (so I was told by my girlfriend's 11yo daughter) song out of my head. Seems I remember a Britany Spears song too. Yes, some of the music kind of fits the ride in a small way. But so does mine. :)

It isn't. ding ding.,
But who cares? The "Coaster Season" video has always been about *family* and *friends* rather than just POV and shots of coasters. The new one for this past season was for the POV, and I hear it's good, even though I have no copy of it. I do, however, have a copy of "Coaster Season" and would recommend it to anyone. My recommendation is even on Robb's webpage! I make an appearance in the video for about 2 seconds total in the CP segment, in uniform working on Mine Ride! Single-train operation ahoy!
