RollerCoaster been after this one for 20 years! Glad I got it now its so appealing to me, I like the story the dialogue and the rumbles even if its not Sensurround its still cool film, and the scope 2.35:1 is good I would have seen this at the cinema many times if I had the chance in 1977 in Sensurround not sure if it played at the local ABC screen 1 in Sensurrond only seen two films Earthquake and Battlestar the first one! Use of colours in the film is nice and the mono soundtrack is easy to listen too I can’t understand why many can’t hear dialogue in their home cinema theatre, mono mixes are often more complex to blend effects music and dialogue together for an even realistic balance , personally I prefer mono mixes and plenty of them can have good lows. Why not 1.1 mixes with 20 subs surrounding you!

Similar to Rollercoaster in that it's a mish mosh of supposed has been actors or those desperate for work pulling out all the stops.

I forget what happened to Richard Wilmark no don't tell me no doubt the bees got him at the base. Its like the The Towering Inferno as its got a bit fire in it and the poseidon adventure as it has bit of water in it, but sadly no bees attacking a Rollercoaster. http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/09301/126 ... -The-(1978)  It was also released with 4 track mag so maybe there's a DVD out there in 4.0?

It was actually encoded from the 4 track mag in Shure's Stereosurround process, but the Dolby logo was used instead. Not that it matters as they encode the same way with quadrature phase shifts. The DVD also has the making of promo film on it. It's a hoot. Don't you mean Dolbee  I would prefer if they could have released it in 4 channel discrete. Guess we can't have it all can we?  well at least its in, I gather with matrix surround effects of swarming millions of bees.
