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.

Holiday World just announced that they have permanently retired their rapids ride. There's been rumors of construction around the old Pilgrim's Plunge site as well. It'll be interesting to see what the next few years bring us.

Great update, it's close enough to the Plunge area that it could be used for a larger ride. Maybe the next coaster? It's been a while since Thunderbird.

They really are due for a new coaster so I'm hoping that's what it is. I could easily see an out and back design going over the employee parking lot. It's also possible that there are 2 different projects currently in progress....... or maybe nothing (but I suspect they've got at least something up their sleeve).

That's a great idea, hope they can do that.
