My favorite is probably Coaster101. But then, I enjoy my sites too! http://myblogaboutrollercoasters.blogspot.com, http://pointblog-cpnews.blogspot.com

Great job on that site! Tons of coaster information there. I tried something similar with my roller coaster wiki project, but I didn't really have the structure for a real full-fledged wiki like Coasterpedia does. Keep up the good work.

I was just scrolling through the comments here, and then I noticed this one. Thanks for the shoutout for Coasterpedia! A year ago, I would have never expected the wiki to get a mention anywhere but from myself. (If you haven't guessed yet, I'm one of the administrators of the wiki)

Well, I have to say Theme Park Review as I currently have over 2000 posts on there. I would like to say that Screamscape & RCDB are also very good websites.

Thanks Matt. I'm glad that people appreciate the friendly atmosphere. I've made that a focus and I hope to continue to do so with other projects. And the site wouldn't have such a good commenter community without great contributions to the discussions like yours and others.

This site is my favorite! I'm particularly fond of the friendly atmosphere in the comments, in no small part due to our host.

I also read CoasterForce a lot, but I don't comment there. The forums are dominated by snarky people who can be hostile to newcomers, but they often break and discuss new information early (though because most of them are in the UK, the focus is more on British and European parks than North American ones).

NewsPlusNotes is fun. There's not much of a commenter community there, but the aerial and nostalgic features are great.

Roller Coaster Database is definitely one of my favourites. I use it to check stats before writing coaster reviews and posting them on my blog. However, I should point out that it's not 100% accurate. It gives the ride duration of Intimidator 105 as 3 minutes. This is absolutely false. The ride lasts just over a minute. Thus far, this is the only inaccuracy I have come across. Coaster Buzz is not bad for news but someone should tell the webmaster that the track on Bizarro Six Flags Great Adventure is not green but purple. OK, it probably WAS green when the ride was called Medusa but it certainly isn't green now and I'm pissed off that the webmaster rejected my photograph showing the cobra roll in all its purple glory in favour of their own pic showing it in green. I don't want to raise the issue with him because he did publish my photograph of Skyrush and I don't want it removed. Coaster Image is excellent and I appreciate their allowing me to use two of their pix of The Beast – I gave them due credit for this – because I couldn't get a decent photo of the thing, which was hiding in the woods and refused to cooperate with me.

I check here and screamscape every morning for updates these days. TPR and pointbuzz I frequent often as well. But as far as reading, I really appreciate your ride reviews, insight & opinions, and topical "question" posts. cheers!
