Editor note

This game optionally used a Laserdisc of the movie Rollercoaster. As the text adventure was played, an interface (?) with an Apple II would play clips from the movie that went along with the text of story being displayed. The text adventure story differs from the movie. If no Laserdisc interface is available, the player can view still captures of the movie on their Apple II monitor.

This game is sometimes mistakenly listed as being published in 1977. That is when the movie, Rollercoaster, was released. Laserdisc hadn't even been invented yet (Not even CED was in production).
