This is a cool little article about why the Pacific Northwest of the US has limited amusement parks and how it's not just because of the weather.

I still gotta get out there at some point too. Too many coasters everywhere 😅

Aftershock is especially interesting to me because it’s the one that was relocated from my home park, Six Flags Great America. I was never tall enough to ride it while it operated there (or maybe it was plagued with maintenance problems by the time I was).

I honestly considered a career change to be a long haul truck driver just so I could end up in places closer to roller coasters that I want to ride 😉

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.
