A safety inspector (George Segal) and a government agent (Richard Widmark) try to stop a terrorist who's planting bombs on rollercoasters. As disaster movies go, this is a literal carnival ride, but the would-be thrills are unexciting and the actors can't help looking like they'd rather be somewhere else. 3-D might've helped, but not enough. (It was originally released in the wall-rattling process of "Sensurround".) A young Helen Hunt plays Segal's teenaged daughter, and Steve Guttenberg turns up uncredited as a delivery boy.
