Your first roller coaster site?

[quickey]

Probably http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/ but that is more of a fan site so it was probably RCDB or something like that.

 

The sight I visit most is http://www.tbppbguideforums.info/bpb/index.php

I started reading RRC in '99, and found coasterfanatic.com just slightly before I found TPR.

Mines RCDB, which led me to coasterforce, then onto TPR!!! Wooooo!

[spaminacan11]

Mine was www.coaster-net.com

[trcg721]

Americacoasters was my first site that I visit.

[Masked_Maverick]

Pointbuzz.

 

*runs*

 

That one was one of my first sites too but it was guide to the point back then and this was before I found out what kind of person it's head moderator really is. Other than that www.thrillride.com and www.cedarpoint.com.

[bulldog5466]

For me It was rcdb or rcpro

[Golfie]

www.rcdb.com

 

I would surf that place for HOURS.

[the sound]

The one that springs into my mind is: www.coasterforce.com . Back in the days when it had a blue background. Ahhh, those were the days.

[doublex98]

www.RollerCoasterPro.com

[arrowfanman]

www.coasterforce.com was actually my first site. I remember registering for that site when I was probably about 13 with a Discovery Channel special's worth of knowledge (which isn't very much). I think one of my first posts was me "explaining" airtime to a bunch of teenagers and 20-year-olds.

 

 

Dont much has changed.

I used to go to discovery.com, and find a thing they had about roller coasters and watch the POV of Millenium Force, this was before I even knew what it was.

 

That's the exact same thing for me! But then I discovered this RCDB copy called Ultimaterollercoaster.com, and years later I found TPR.

[Angry_Gumball]

Ah yes...definitely a trip down Memory Lane. Actually, my first coaster sim (Excluding Sim Theme Park and RCT) was Ultimate Ride to fill the void until I got NL. I registered on the Ultimate Ride website on Thanksgiving back in 2001 I believe and submitted my Mantis recreation, and got awesome feedback. Still remember my Screen Name, "KoasterGod." I then registered for the old Coastergames.net or whatever the name was until that went down, then I moved onto Weeweeslap. Finally, along came TPR's forums. (I visited TPR since 1997 shortly after my Socal trip. Ok...I'm done sharing my coaster site life story. Definitely brought back memories as I typed this up.

www.ultimaterollercoaster.com

 

I lived off that until I found Theme Park Review back in 2000...

[Dorneypark_fan]

Themeparkreview

[Scaparri]

Mine was thrillride.com back in the late 90's. rcdb.com and ultimaterollercoaster.com were also sites I discovered early on. I think I found them all through an altavista search.

[jten11]

Being that I'm a reborn coaster enthusiast (last year was the first year I EVER rode a woodie...now I'm love them!) I didnt get into any of the other coaster sites in the past. YouTube kinda got the me going with the different videos people post, even though technically its not a coaster-specific site. Theme Park Review has the honor of being my first REAL coaster site(besides RCDB.com). I've been following this site for a couple of years now and just recently started to become active in the forums. . .

[KrakenKing]

Rollercoaster.com

then: RCDB

then: Danimation

then: TPR

[nyanko]

Does rec.rollercoaster count? I think I discovered it in 1995.

 

Was going to ask the same question. Started there in 1999.

[CoasterExpert13]

Mine weeweeslap.com.....back in like 2003 is when I became a memeber of that site....I usually would just visit different coaster sites for the pictures...but then decide to join wws.com...soon after I sign to TPR.com after browsing the sites coaster videos.

[SFNE Dude]

Coasterbuzz... until I realized how much it stunk.

[Carnage]

I followed Thrillride daily until it shut down.

 

Then ended up at Rideworld which got me into traveling, and becoming an enthusiast.

 

I also had very brief stays at Thrillnetwork and Coastebuzz before ending up at TPR.

Gooses Realm of Insantity/SFMM Y2K.

 

[jeff moment] It's kind of ridiculous to think that some of the people posting in this thread were in elementary school when that site was in its heyday. [/jeff moment]

 

Yup, same here. Man, those were the days. It is hard to believe that was over 7 years ago! All those rumors about Goliath before it opened. Darn ... good times. Seems like that was only yesterday.

 

When I opened this thread I expected to see more people answering "Gooses Realm of Insantity/SFMM Y2K." I guess most of those people are gone. And as you pointed out, most people answering here were barley out of diapers when we were on those forums.

[bigstevet07]

Mine was Screamscape and RCDB. Screamscape led me to here and I can't remember last time I looked at Screamscape.

[mike541x]

I think it was Americanmidway or something like that. But Coastergallery.com was one of my first and favorite.
