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.

I enjoy collecting pins mostly, here is the current state of my pinboard. Mostly coaster related, and the non coaster ones will probably have to soon be relegated to a secondary one!

Park maps are priority one. I've got a workbench area that has all my ski and theme park maps. I'll buy a shirt if I find one that isn't awful. I always look but probably only buy one every third park I go to. And then always get a pic of me and whoever I was on the trip with.

That's awesome! It somehow never occurred to me to keep the park maps, but that makes so much sense as a collection and they already look great on your wall.

My problem is I think about it but never execute it lol..... It's so hard to get them home for me without creasing them.
