How did you end up here???

[Movieguy]

I don't fully remember...I think I'd heard about it through Thrillnetwork.com's message board, and googled it thereafter.

 

I was looking for a new place to talk about coasters anyway, because I just didn't like the kind of discussions that were going on in Thrillnetwork...I won't elaborate, because I don't want to sound like I'm bashing it. It just wasn't my kind of place.

 

Anyway, I looked through the videos, and was instantly hooked.

[VegasCoaster]

I found this via Westcoster, though I lurked in the shadows for quite a while and then joined, and immediately returned to poster obscurity.

[rcoasters]

I found the website through Google by typing coaster videos and all the other sites were bad and I finaly came upon this one and I loved it. I then started to read the forum a bit and I thought the people were very friendly so I joined ! A couple of months later, I was in need for some more coaster videos and typed it through google again because I had lost the URL so I found it again, then remembered that I had an account, so after that I started to post .

[BrownStreak]

The CoasterRadio.com episode that dealt with European parks. A friend told me about that site and then you guys were on it, and then I found pics of Dan and now I am hooked

i was on TN and i was listening to In The Loop and heard somthing about the site so i then just clicked the link and made my way over here.

I was Googling for pictures of Tatsu construction

[arlen23]

I Googled Tatsu and needed information because i knew it was out there, im that kind of person that finds the best and top #1 sites and this is the best site ever. So i got my information from here.

[hyyyper]

saw some links to the tatsu and trip reports on weeweeslap.com, after ghosting around for some time, i eventually joined

[coasterman7]

I was just bored so I started surfing the internet and I somehow found you guys!

[Tömmioh]

Actually I found this site about 1,5 year ago, when randomly clicking on coaster links on the internet that led here and there.

 

After that I visited this site a few times a year, looking and laughing at the photos and their captions.

I finally decided to join this site as late as the end of January this year.

I don't remember how I found it and I haven't even been here long. I'm thinking I probably started at intercot (closet mouse freak and I admit it, okay? LOL) and got curious about a ride and did a google for photos and ended up here. I liked the personalities, the knowledge and the humor and have been checking in every day since, like watching a favorite show. I also love the coaster videos and plan on asking for some for Mother's Day. I ride down the road now listening to a CD or the radio and think, hey, that would make a good sound track for a ride video! (the soundtrack to the movie Driven is a good one if you haven't discovered it yet, btw )

uuhm.

 

I used to frequent ACN, and then realized everyone [EVERYONE] there were, without fail, a bunch of C U Next Tuesdays. So I kind of gave up. Then, one day at SFMM, while waiting in line for X, I noticed a guy in front of me wearing a TPR hoodie. And it had a donkey on it, and anything combining beasts of burden with roller coasters has to be A OK. So I came home and signed up.The captions on the reviews were hilarious, and the fact that SOMEONE had a sense of humor about Coaster Enthusiasm was truly refreshing.

 

The end!

[gmoney422]

I think I was searching on Yahoo for coaster photos or videos. Hey, I got both!!!

 

You guys rock! So glad I found ya!

 

Ordered my t-shirt yesterday for my 5/15 trip to SFGA. Gotta represent and fly the colors proudly!!!

I first found your site in Sept 2004. I was looking for POV's on google and there TPR was. As I was still fairly 'new' to being 'in' to coasters it was a while before I began posting on the forums.

[SpeedMonster]

Google is my best friend!

 

I remember being a very new enthusiast, and was looking for a good roller coaster video site. I really wasn't expecting much, since I hadn't found many good videos yet, as my searches were unsuccessful. I typed in Storm Runner video, and it gave me a link to your video downloads page.

 

I was literally drooling. It was like I had struck gold. And from then on, TPR is my favorite roller coaster web site.

 

Actually, it was technically Yahoo.

[CycloneMan]

I don't remember. I wandered aimlessly around the internet and landed here!

 

I believe I was visiting the site, before Elissa was around, and Robb and Sarah were selling the video tapes . And I was 10. I think Themeparkreview was with yahoo.com at one point. I just now Iv'e been visiting since Elementary School, and I am now a Sophmore in High School.

[maliboomer]

I remember visiting this site when it was hosted by geocities and had guess the neon coaster.

 

[Mystery]

I don't remember. I wandered aimlessly around the internet and landed here!

 

I think there was a link to a tr or something

[The Riddler]

I've found Themeparkreview from another site (Themeparkvision ore pretparken.be), A Belgium coaster/themepark club.

 

First a saw all that wonderfull photo's of you're big trips arround the world, later I discovered the forum.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I was really bored one day and I was playing around on RCDB and I noticed a lot of the pics that I was looking at were taken by Theme Park Review. So I wanted to check it out, and I was amazed to find an awsome site with all sorts of cool stuff. But the one thing tht made me join was that i found a POV of the Soad Box Derby Racers at KBF! From there i was hooked, I had never been on a forum before and I feel that TPR was the best place to start. Thankyou Robb and Elissa!

[SFOGdude25]

I was looking for pics of a coaster on Google and I stumbled across a pic from here.

[Billy Hill]

I was looking for some info on Bonfante Gardens theme park and found a video of a TPR trip to the park on this site. The forum was up and running a while after that, so I joined. I've picked up quite a bit about coasters and parks from the site. I think this site is a great resource for anyone planning a trip to a park. Thanks Robb and Elissa, and to the many other members that have shared their experience and/or answered questions for me.

It still amazes me how many people find the site via google. The things people search for and find our site always amazes me!

[JamesMC]

Through Screamscape. I had been on and off visiting after that, and espcially after you started posting photos of the Tatsu construction. Ironically, even tho I was lurking, I didn't join until like two days before all TPR members got invited to Media Day for Tatsu. Good timing on my part, but I am certainly glad to be here.

[pete4winds]

I think it was either through RCDB or Google. I'd been a CoasterBuzz member but got tired of the Message Board Gestapo there (I still have a membership, but I don't visit anymore - for exactly those reasons). I went wandering around looking for a better place to get my coaster fix (other than actually on a coaster), and so here I am...
