Great artwork and pretty fun to play..Cool features with having the rollercoaster habitrails and spinner in middle of playfield..Game has lasting ability and doesn't get boring..A keeper for sure

This was my first game to own. I fell in love with the early habitrails and the spinner in the center. It makes every game unique and adds a lot to multiplayer games. Great game.

I had the opportunity to play this machine at the Pinball Expo Sydney Nov 2014. It appears a simple game but it really is fun to play and I kept coming back for more. I think the overhead tracks on an EM has a lot to with its attraction. I just wish it was a single rather than two player otherwise it would be on my wishlist.

Rollercoaster is a game that will surprise you a few times...

The Pros:
The wireforms are really nicely done. Consider this game came about in 1971 and remind yourself that this feature (ramps) is about 10 years ahead of it's time. Krynski is the MAN! Morrison's BG artwork is spot on for this theme. The spinner in the middle of the table makes for some interesting and chaotic gameplay. Super simple upper PF has good action and lots of room for the ball to fly around.

The Cons:
Drainy would be an understatement. The outlanes on this game are some of the most vicious ever put on a PF. Add the side lanes above them that don't always clear the top of the slings... ouch! Since you can't nudge into the inlane... ouch. When the eeety beeety score spinner doesn't work, the game dies.

The Takeaway:
A good game to play because it's different. Expect your skills to be challenged and 5 ball games to be less than a minute long.

One of my favorite EMs. Roller Coaster has that great 70's Gottlieb feel to it when you play. On top of that it has some nifty extras.

First is the spinning pointer found in the middle of the playfield. This goes from 50 points all the way up to 500 points. Controlling this feature is the key to having a bad game or a great, rollover game. When the ball moves the pointer it scores the pointed to value. There are also other targets and rollovers on the playfield that will score this value.

Next we have the "roller coaster" tracks found on either side of the playfield. If you get the ball in the kick out hole it will shoot them up the habitrail and send the ball to your flipper. It's a neat gimmick and a lot of fun as the ball will move quite fast and is a challenge to hit at that speed.

There's also a sequence of 1-2-3-4 that you can light which lights playfield targets for maximum value. It will also give a one time bonus of 500 on a 50 point pointer score value and then reset.

Roller Coaster is a very fun game -- especially when playing two player. Controlling the pointer score makes it a blast in competition.
