Hi Joylanders.
I found the book much ruder than the film! Eddie Parnassus (Young Man) clearly is a guy with 'issues' in the book that are not portrayed in the film - thankfully.
To view a catalogue (with images) of 700+ amusement park/coaster/rides books and VHSs/DVDs, including "Rollercoaster" the movie [DVD#2] and Burton Wohl's book "Rollercoaster - The High-Roller To Terror" [Book#12]. Visit:

And, you may like to try your luck with Andy Shine's Quizzes too, all about the amusement industry, parks, coasters, rides, etc...
