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.

Twister III is scheduled to open this weekend at Elitch Gardens. This is a renovated version of Twister II which was a recreation of Mr. Twister at the former site of the park (and also the inspiration for Twister at Knoebels).

Aaaaand I just noticed that your original comment was a reply to someone bringing up the Lakeside Cyclone... I thought that you thought that Twister III and Cyclone were the same ride (sorry lol). Naturally I'd make an ass of myself with my first comment on Lemmy 😂

lol that makes sense..... I was so confused lol. We're all figuring out this new land so no worries. I nearly made the same exact mistake on another thread 😂
