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.

After a lot of turmoil it looks like Zambezi Zinger is finally going to open to the public next week. The winners of the first rider auction were given rides this morning (despite the coaster already having been soft-opened previously).

This honestly looks like a seriously fun ride. I hope I can make it out to ride it sometime soon.

Me too. It looks great. I could never have predicted that someone would rebuild a ride similar to Whizzer at SFGAm except as a wood coaster.

I still need to get on Whizzer too..... between the love for the OG Zambezi and for Whizzer I'm really looking forward to getting to SFGAm as soon as I can.

Glad they're finally getting it open. I was at the ACE event a couple weeks ago where we were supposed to get ERT, but that obviously didn't happen lol. Good reason to get back out to WoF one day.
