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:

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:

Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
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.
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
No posting personal information.
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Do y'all have any memories of being at parks before you were tall enough to ride? (lemm.ee)

This might not apply to everyone as I've talked to people that have no memories of before they were like 10, but, I have memories of going to astroworld in the early 90s when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I specifically remember ultratwister as looking insane and just having my mind blown watching it. I also remember Texas Cyclone as being just huge and loud. I was reassured by my parents that next year I would be tall enough to ride, but alas, we moved out califori-way and I never got any of the creds. Oh well, still lives on in my memory as a fun time.

I was 5 and remember my brothers mentioning our uncle was gonna come by and take us to Six Flags. I spent the whole week prior to his arrival daydreaming how much fun it would be, I'd even lost some sleep because of it. The day finally arrived and my uncle put me aside and said I couldn't go because most of the rides were not appropriate for my height so it would be best to stay home with my grandmother. That day helped me realize it's best not to have expectations to spare yourself from disappointment.
