Hi ! I'm Samuel, I come from France. My local parc is ... the amazing antibesland ! No, more seriously the nearest "real" park is OK Corral, which has this quite nice gerstlauer world first shuttle coaster :

And the nearest big park is Gardaland, and a bit further Mirabilandia.

I've only been on 9 coasters but theses include the amazings Katun and Ispeed ! (and the mild Divertical ). I'm obviously into rollercoasters (you don't say !), in nolimits but also into ropeways (btw did you know that b&m invert were first inspired by 4-seat chairlifts ?), and some other stuff like skiing and sailing.

Hey all! I used to be on here but it's been years. I'm Scott, 28, from Chicago, IL. I've been a roller coaster enthusiast for 15 years and have ridden over 500 different roller coasters. I'm also really into videography so expect some exciting roller coaster related videos to be posted in the future. Cheers!

Hey, I'm EricaKaese and I'm a newly registered British member of TPR. I've been lurking here a bit but I've seen that the community is absolutely amazing (seen all of Robb's videos!) and hope I get to join a Tour someday!

Hi! My name is Luis. Im from San Antonio and I'm an ride operator for one of the many B&M batman clones that does not have the word "bat" or "man" in it. That ride is The Great white in SeaWorld Texas and not Goliath at SFFT. If I counted correctly, I've been on a total of 74 coasters in the U.S and maybe one in Mexico. My favorite Steel coaster is has to be Maverick at Cedar point and for the woodie, it has to be Mean Streak. I'm also very good with NL and newton 2 and I know how to build a Good Hand build track with out newton. Trust me! And for those of ya'll going to the Mid/west tour, I'll being seeing ya'll there at SWSA.

Hey all,

 

I am Brandi, I have been riding different coasters from several different parks for over 20 years. I participated in the Coasting for Kids charity in 2012 with my husband Mike (mikeykaise). He convinced me to join TPR for myself this year since we plan on going on a few road trips. I am happy I did.

Hi, my name is rodney. I am 23 and from Donalds, SC. I live between Carowinds and SFOG so I have two local parks less than 3 hours from me. I am originally from Myrtle Beach, SC and my favorite park was then Hard Rock Park and then Freestyle Amusement Park. I went almost everyday they were open after I got off work. I love theme parks and coasters and am so happy to be joining the TPR family.

Howdy everybody, my name is Adrianne, and I live in Houston, TX. Currently, I am "homeparkless", as AstroWorld was taken from us all too soon.

 

But, my first true coaster haven was KD, since Wild World (SFA) was the inferior choice for rides when I was living in PG County (waaay back when ;p).

 

Now that some time has passed, and I've totally recovered from my back surgery in '06, it's time to "get back in the saddle again!"

 

Nice to meet all y'all! ><

Hey I'm Palmer! I live in SC and my home park is Carowinds! My coaster count is 79 and my favorite steel coaster is i305. Wooden coaster would have to be Thunderhead at Dollywood. I'm fourteen and don't get to travel much. Oh and as you can tell I am a huge UNC fan. GO HEELS!!!

Hi all,

 

I'm Brett and I'm from Michigan. My home park is Michigan's Adventure though sometimes I say Cedar Point is as well (I'm not far from either). I've been an enthusiast for many years now and I have no clue why I never joined Theme Park Review. At any rate, I post on many other sites in my free-time as well, though my name varies from site-to-site.

 

I am very into the business side of park operations. I enjoy everything that makes the park run. Business just interests me. If it weren't for business, parks wouldn't be operating as they are today (I know, everyone knows this). I am also interested in park planning and what thoughts go into planning for the future (once again, related to business). This just makes visiting parks all the more fun for me. I'm one to respect parks wishes, if something is leaked (say a future design plan), I do not "spread it" though if someone else posts, I may engage in some sort of conversation. I do engage in rumor talk because it is fun to speculate but I do not want to infringe on anything the park is doing. I just want to be able to respectable to them because they are running a business.

 

At any rate, I'm glad to be here and I look forward to talking to many of you in the forums. Site is amazing Robb and I enjoy your videos thoroughly. I hope I can settle in here and become a regular. Thanks for having me.

Hi all,

 

My name is Matt and I'm 24yrs old, from London, UK. I've been browsing TPR and watching TPR POVs on Youtube for years now but never thought to join before!

 

My coaster count is a cute 33 (UK only) but I have big ambitions . My local park is Thorpe Park. My favourite coaster is Nemesis (Alton Towers) and my 'guilty pleasure', in a close second is Grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

 

I've been an enthusiast since I was about 10yrs old when I rode my first looping coaster (a super rough Pinfari Zyklon 42 called Looping Star). My 'thing' for coasters is how they look. I think when they are designed well and have a good theme and colour they look like a piece of artwork. For this reason Nemesis is a treasured coaster for me. I enjoy watching them nearly as much as I enjoy riding them. I'm petrified of heights so the only coasters that really scare me are ones that are 200ft + in height but that just adds to the thrill.

 

'In real life' I work as a network admin and my main hobbies are snowboarding, gaming and playing bass guitar.

Hey! My name is Noah and i'm new! I never really thought about joining the forum, but have loved coasters since the beginning of time. My first big coaster was the pepsi ripsaw coaster (now pepsi orange streak) at MOA. My home park is either mt. olympus or six flags great america! My count is 22 wood and 75 steel, but i'm heading to SFMM and Silver Dollar City this summer so that will skyrocket!

 

Thanks for welcoming me!

Hi,

I'm James but my friends call me J.T. I live in Ocala, FL which is only an hour away from Orlando so I vist theme parks often. I like to call myself a Theme Park Geek because I know a lot and hope to work as an Imagineer For Disney or a ride designer for Universal. I have a wild imagination so I can come up with great ideas, I just need some time. I also like Classic Rock music and RCT3. The best game ever in my opinion.

Hi, my name is Nick, I'm from Illinois, my home park is Six Flags Great America. I have been visiting this park for 25 years since the Marriott days when Tidal Wave was there. Roller Coasters and Theme Parks are my main interest, I wish I could visit every theme park.

Hey Guys!

 

I created my Account today and thought I should introduce myself. So that's what I'm gonna do now.

 

My Name is Marcel, I'm 14 years old an I live in Munich in Gemany. I have always been kind of interested in roller coasters and stuff, but after my visit to Europa Park in May/June 2012 I became obsessed with coasters. I found a german forum called Coasterfriends which I am very active on. Maybe some of you know this forum. I actually recognized some CF-users here on TPR.

 

My coaster count is currently 52 because I didn't really get to visit many parks outside of Germany. One of them was Disneyland in Paris, which was GREAT.

 

So that's my introduction and I hope to have a great time here.

 

P.S.: My favorite roller coaster right now is the Silver Star at Europa Park because it has a lot of

Hey everybody! I guess i just wanted to say HI! ^-^

 

I'm really excited and happy that i found this page! For a girl from California, I'm a really big THRLL SEEKER and would probably get on many coasters without even thinking about it! Well I just found this page on facebook and loved it so much that i thought to myself... "self, this is my kind of website and i know it for a fact!"

 

But for my first post i guess im just here to say hi!

Similar thing here. Fairly new around these parts, but I've been on similar forums with the same sort of environment. I'll try and stick around for once!
