Insane Coaster Wars was a Travel Channel show that premiered in 2012 and ran for two seasons. The show was hosted by roller coaster enthusiasts Andrew Morgado, Robb Alvey, and Mark Rose, as they traveled across the United States in search of the most thrilling and exciting coasters.

Each episode of the show featured four different coasters from around the country, with each coaster being ranked in categories such as speed, height, and inversions. Morgado, Alvey, and Rose would ride each coaster multiple times to get a full experience of the ride, and then would discuss their thoughts on the coaster and rank it against the others in the episode.

One of the unique aspects of Insane Coaster Wars was the use of POV (point of view) cameras, which were mounted on the roller coasters and gave the viewers a first-person perspective of the ride. This added an immersive element to the show, as the viewers could experience the same thrills as the hosts, and also allowed for a more accurate representation of the ride's features.

Another highlight of the show was the variety of coasters that were featured. From traditional wooden coasters to the latest steel behemoths, Insane Coaster Wars showcased a range of different rides and styles. The hosts also visited different parks and destinations, from some of the biggest amusement parks in the country to lesser-known gems. This allowed for a diverse and entertaining viewing experience, as viewers could learn about different roller coasters and parks that they may not have known about otherwise.

In addition to covering the coasters themselves, Insane Coaster Wars also delved into the science and engineering behind roller coasters. The show would often include interviews with engineers and designers, who would explain the physics and mechanics of the rides, and how they were able to create such thrilling experiences. This added an educational component to the show, as viewers could learn about the science behind the rides they love.

Overall, Insane Coaster Wars was a fun and exciting show for both coaster enthusiasts and casual viewers alike. The combination of the hosts' personalities, the use of POV cameras, and the informative segments about roller coaster design made for an entertaining and educational viewing experience. The show may have only run for two seasons, but it left a lasting impression on fans of roller coasters and amusement parks.

Insane Coaster Wars is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (21 episodes). The series first aired on July 8, 2012.
