I watched this on TV with my grandmother in the 80s and it began a series of wonderful memories of a little boy and his very old nana watching these sorts of films, which I still enjoy when I watch all these years later. So many of them were not what a grandmother would usually sit and watch, let alone with her grandchild, but that was the war generation and I doubt she thought of them as in any way disturbing. On a side note this film's carnival theme music is absolutely perfect.

RIP George Segal...his brilliant work as Harry Calder gave this movie a lot of credibility.

I was an extra in the scenes at King's Dominion. I was with my friend's young daughter. We had a blast. Every day I would bring a car load of helium balloons home.

Can't believe it's on Blu-ray, hooray! Really enjoy this movie. No one else would appreciate this, but I met Helen Hunt briefly and mentioned it was one of my favorites, she smiled sweetly and laughed, I bet not a lot of folks remember that she was in it. To make it complete, my acting teacher (yes, I'm an actor/LA cliche) ran into George Segal at the gym and told him that it was one of his student's (me) favorite films...he gave the same response as Helen. :-). My life is complete, hehe.

I love this just for the high quality vintage coaster footage of some absolutely classic coasters

One of hidden 💎 thrillers of the 1970s. RIP George Segal. He will be miss.

[FishKepr]

One of my favorite movies. It really needs to be available on a streaming platform.

The opening sequence with the coaster crash is one of the greatest practical VFX sequences in history.

Saw it in 77 as a little kid, I liked it.

My parents took me to see this in theater when I was 8 years old. I loved it! I realize the cars turned upside-down, but there's no gore, just a bunch of drama. I will always relish this movie.

[Hansprivate]

Oh, the disaster films of the 1970’s!!! God, I love those!

[christophermarzian]

I remember this always playing as the late movie on Friday nights back in the eighties.
