Rollercoaster (1977 film)

Rollercoaster is a 1977 disaster-suspense film starring George Segal, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Timothy Bottoms. It was directed by James Goldstone; the film's musical score was written by Lalo Schifrin. It was originally shown in Sensurround which caused audience seats to vibrate during certain periods during the "thrill scenes" on the rides. Despite having been released in the summer of 1977, and being overlooked in favor of the smash hit Star Wars, it went on to be a moderate success at the box office.
