RollerCoasters

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

According to TEA/AECOM Six Flags is suffering when it comes to attendance and was the only major chain to have less attendance in 2022 than 2021.

Meanwhile, Universal was 1% under 2019 levels.

The ad thing really stood out, I was at Great America a few weeks ago and there are ads EVERYWHERE. Portable signs placed all over, posters on nearly every surface. They could halve it and I think it would give the parks a better feel, some of the architecture and areas are quite nice.

Yea it's crazy to pay the new higher prices and still be bombed with all of that. Even with the old pricing it got old but at least I could say those ads paid the other half of my season pass.

The ads are certainly not building the premium experience Selim thinks he has.
