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 didn't mean to imply that they didn't go over it and that it's not safe.... They absolutely have gone over that thing to make it safe and the redundancies are still in place. I'm speaking more from a long term perspective. There is safe rectification and there is truly identifying root causes and stresses over time.

To be even extra clear, the fact that B&M is directly involved gives me a lot of peace of mind that this is being done safely. They aren't going to let things run in an unsafe state but B&M's history is also very very methodical and engineering based and that's what makes me think that the opening of the coaster in a couple weeks may very well not be the end of the investigation and inspecting. I don't know if/when they close it again but I just think it's a likely possibility.
