Have you ever been at a park and wondered how fast a particular coaster travels? Or maybe you wanted to know which rides work with Disney’s FastPass? Whatever information you are seeking, the Thrill Seeker app (for the iPhone/iPod Touch) will most likely hold the answer — as long as the park is in their ever-growing database.
The app was first launched on August 19, 2009, and already has a number of parks listed (with an ever-growing database). You can look at a particular park’s profile and view the full list of rides and attractions 
that the park has to offer. Each ride and attraction has a detailed page with statistics, minimum rider height requirements, services (disabled access, on-ride photos, single rider line etc.), history, and of course, a direct link to the official website.
Alternatively, you might need some extra help… like guided instructions to a particular ride! That’s right, this thing doubles as a park map. The best thing about this feature is that you can even manually select your location if your iPod doesn’t have a built-in GPS chip.
The app works flawlessly, with most data stored on the device to allow for total mobility. However, the app will update each time it connects to the internet (depending on the settings), allowing you to always have the latest information — even when you’re offline.
Wondering what my opinion is on buying this application? Well, it’s a yes, as long as you know you will use the features on hand. I know I certainly will be using this app for a long time to come.
Thrill Seeker is available in the App Store for just (UK: £2.99), (US: $4.99), (Mexico: $50), (Canada: $4.99), (Europe: €3,99), (Norway: 29Kr), (Sweden: 38Kr), (Denmark: 30Kr), (Switzerland: 5.50Fr), (Australia: $5.99), (New Zealand: $6.49), (Japan: ¥600).

This is definitely a cool app. I wish they’d do more U.S. parks than just Disney. It’s without a doubt a must have if you live overseas though. More theme park owners should jump onto this idea. The only one I know of for sure that has an official app is Freestyle Music Park. Do any other parks have their own apps?
I have to agree with Austin. If this had more US parks then I would definitely consider getting it. As far as other parks having apps, there may possibly be more than just FMP, but I haven’t seen too many. I saw a Worlds of Discovery app, but it’s just a “find the difference in the pictures” app.
I’m waiting patiently for a Busch Gardens app.
it`s a cool app but seriously, why buy it. i mean, you get the internet app free, an RCDB`s database is already complete. i just don`t think it`s all that worth it. amnyone dissagree whithe me?
I also have to agree with Austin and Cris. I would want it to have more than just disney parks before I would want to buy it. Yes, Quil does have a good point, but RCDB dosn’t have park maps on most of the parks and I hate to go to all the different websites to get all the imformation this sounds like it has.
i just pick up a map at the enmtrance.
Yes, but I mean to see it before you go to the park so I can plan things like What to do first? or Should I go on this ride before or after this ride?
try google earth
i just got it… it works really well! and im in my house right now, too!
good to here.
I’m hoping to review version 2.0 of this app soon. So, stay tuned for more…
