I see you're right on top of it. Wow, do you think so? About all I find is broken links. Ohio Coasterfreak 36 is such a genuis, has such an knack for stating the obvious. Most other sites might try to find another WORKING url, but here, you're told that it's an old link. Brilliant, Eienstien

A new forums that I just discovered, has a brand new feature, member's albums. As long as the images have to do with coasters, parks or any of the amusement park or coaster designer games, (as well as classic television shows) you can create up to three unlimited content albums. Simply by downloading from one of your PCs drives.

Here's a link...

It's a great new forums and a small number of members. (Not to drag away members from here,) but if you want to post images, for free, that would be the place to do it. You could always link it up here, easily.

That looks like a good site since I take a lot of pictures of roller coasters.

I live in Southern California so I have a lot of coasters to chose from. I used to have season passes for Disneyland/California Adventure and we went there a lot. Now I have passes for Knotts and I have been there 3 or 4 times I think, including 2 ACE events. I also usually visit SFMM once a year during the summer.

I live near Toronto, so I'm about 45 mins from Canada's Wonderland. My first coaster ever was Dragon Fire, which scared the hell out of me as I was about 8 or so. Of course back then I thought it was a huge ride, now I think of it as a waste of space in the park that severely needs a paint job.

I haven't been to any other theme park besides Wonderland, which is kindof sad. If I had a way of getting to Ohio, I would in a heartbeat, believe me. Thing is, I only have my G1 liscence, and not enough money for a car, my guitars, amp, girlfriend, and then college in about 2 years.

My favourite coaster would have to be Vortex (Arrow Suspended Swinging Coaster), and my favourite flat ride is defeinitly Shockwave (Mondial Top Scan).

Woops! New favorite at Busch Gardens, Tampa. Shei Kra! Any other Floridians been on it? I like the stadium seating. The back seat is the highest, the front seat is lowest. I sat in the back and my feet didn't touch the floor and I'm 6 ft. tall!Dropping into the tower ruins, and a great roaring turn-around then the splash, The "wait-&-drop" is excruciating! But a riot! the Emmelman is exquisite, theres a helix & stuff, (but I don't really remember anything like high Gs.) Loading two cars/trains at once really moved the lines along. I couldn't get out there on opening day, but that following Sunday, the line was long, but it was quicker than others.
