I have been curious about these DVDs for some time and finally got them all for Christmas. I was impressed with the preview on the website (Extinct-Attractions-Club.Com) and was looking forward to seeing the DVDs. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, they are compiled by a "professional film editor" and culled from vacation footage, archival footage, stills, etc. Many of the more recent DVDs have "bonus audio". I have to say that across the board, the DVDs are mediocre. I'm sure it's due to the fact that he must use the best available footage and usually that means someone's shaky vacation video. The Adventure Thru Inner Space "ride thru" is almost all dark...nothing visible, just the soundtrack playing over a black screen. The earlier ones have some interesting footage...ie. The Mine Train, Rocket to the Moon, etc. But the later ones, despite more features, seem pretty slapped together. The audio extras are of rather poor quality with drop outs throughout. This seems strange in light of the fact that these are files that we've all heard and exist everywhere in better quality. Don't buy them for the audio extras! Of course this is probably a venture that will improve as more people become aware of it and submit better (and more varied) footage. You can console yourself in the fact that the money goes to charity, unless you buy them on ebay, where they're popping up with more frequency. Don't look for that great theme park re-experience here. Just my two cents.
