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.

I know many absolutely love the Halloween events but I'm curious if there's anything else specifically that people love? For me, this time of year is great at parks because of the weather and days shorter (night rides!).

I live in NYC, and so my local Six Flags can source freaks from the excellent Coney Island freak shows. So our Fright Fest has amazing performances. I love that.

I get scared easily so haunt events don’t quite do it for me lol. I definitely like that night rides are easier to get at this time of year though! I’m looking forward to Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood this year. I really enjoyed the Christmas event at Silver Dollar City so I have high expectations for this one.

That's always my dilemma..... I love the atmosphere of haunts but I hate Jump Scares 😂
