Improvements between the sites :)

[TTD]

Hello everybody,

 

Theme Park Review seems like a really nice site, not only because of the riche community, but also because of the constant updates day in and day out that are produced. Sometimes I like to come on here just to read some of your guy's Photo Trip Reports, just to see whats going on at those parks that I dont get a chance to travel to. Im really kind of amazed that this site is updated as much as it is, so props to you all for making this site fantastic.

 

I, like everybody else on this site, am a roller coaster enthusiast. Like many of the younger members, I aspire to become a Roller Coaster engineer, which is my main prupose for reading Forums like this. As of right now, I am fairly confident that many of you will be enjoying my productions in the near future, so look out for me .

 

I dont know if any of you know this or not, but I am a member of the site Roller Coaster Pro. I have been for 2 years now and I really enjoy the atmosphere that is provided over there, much as I like the fun filled, upbeat attitude of this site. I understand that there has been a "troubling" past between this site and Roller Coaster Pro, so I hope that this thread does not get deleted because of that sensative issue. To me, I think sites like Roller Coaster Pro and Theme Park Review have functioned the best with help from the 'second wheel'. One of the reasons I joined this site was in hopes to be refreshed everynow and then on the constant things that are happening in the industry. Roller Coaster Pro struggles to get updates sometimes, so having this second party will really be useful.

 

I have created this discussion in order for members to give their honest critique about both sites. I think what I have provided above pretty much wraps up my thoughts about the two sites, and their comparison between each other. Because I am now a member of both sites, I would like to hear your honest opinions on what could be done to improve. I for one (for example) feel that RcPro lacks the lively hood of this site, but at the same time, it manages to have a great array of people conversing throughout the boards. And on the other side, although I like the fun and joking atmosphere of Theme Park Review, sometimes for me, it goes a little overboard.

 

Different people have different thoughts, which is why Ive created this thread. I for one am a person who likes to listen to other people, because that in my opinion, is the best way to learn. Thank you for complying, and I hope that you all can respond in a mature and non-aggressive tone!

 

By the Way, my name is Mike. If have any questions regarding me or the industry, I would be more than willing to help you out! My user name on Roller Coaster Pro is "Mike" so if you see me over there, send me a pm...I dont bite

I don't really see a point to this post. There's no 'bad blood' between the two sites. Robb and I have always encouraged sites working together and we do this with several other sites out there.
