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.

If you've never checked out DefunctLand on Youtube, what are you waiting for? By far one of my favorite channels.... Actually one of the few that I regularly watch.

This article takes a dive in Kevin's work on the channel and highlights a lot of interesting things.

yes, they sound long and boring at first, but one quickly get's sucked in to the stories he tells. This is truly one of the few relatively unknown gems on youtube. Another one is Technology Connections BTW

Now that we got 2 of the 5 channels on Youtube that I watch (Defunctland and Technology Connections) I might as well mention CoasterBot, Aging Wheels, and El Toro Ryan
