How did you end up here???

[FLIPDUDE]

I found the site when I was 11 or so. Probably looking for coaster videos.

Didn't actually sign up and became active in the forums untill the registered cool people video section opened though, I think.

[sfmmrules!]

I don't even remember how I got here. But I'm so glad I found TPR! Its a great site - the best fan site out there well along with screamscape, wdwig, & rcdb. I visit TPR every day. I like the forum & pictures from trip reports. The pictures of Robb are always the funniest! TPR rules!

I rode Montezuma's Revenge at Knott's, searched roller coasters on Google, and BAM! I found myself here at TPR. Such a great site.

I don't remember, but I was here before the forums. I just didn't sign up for 14 months for some reason. Great website though.

I was researching coaster pics and found one of your early PTRs (Space World) around February or March 2007. This led to others, downloading some videos, and eventually I joined the site.

 

My first thought was "These people have a "unique" sense of humor like me and have a really good time. I'd love to hang out with them." Laughed quite a bit at the inside jokes, inuendos, etc. Very cool.

Some guy who worked for this company that wasn't a real company sent me this picture which was really just part of a picture. Then I heard that others like me who had incomplete pictures were gathering at this site from coaster sites all over. So I came here and added my piece to the mix.

I was searching information about theme parks in japan and i found your web ^_^

 

Is really great and thanks to you i found really interesting places to go in japan ^_^

[Purplepills]

I'm pretty sure I found out about it after someone from southparks.org (Thorpe and Chessington forum) posted a link to an awesome PTR of some death trap theme park in India or somewhere. I started posting on TPR after we planned our honeymoon to the US and I needed some trip planning info!

 

Thats how shallow I am.

[rydercup]

I found your site through Screamscape.

[Axman]

I was doing some research on early SFMM. I ended up here on one of my searches, and I've been hoocked ever since.

[airforcekid]

I Typed in themeparkreview.com cause it was in a dream of mine!

Im not kidding!

[Team Thriller]

I typed in Theme Parks on google and TPR came up.

 

I was looking around then got hooked to the website!

[Moose]

I ended up here via a Voldemort site, but ended up there because of England 06.

[FRD714]

Well I was typing in extremely explicit things into the address bar on my browser, and what do you know! There is a coasterporn.com!!!

 

Ok that's not how I found it. I think I googled something about coasters and I found this great site.

Time to hear some of the new peoples stories.

 

I know I posted here about 4 years ago but here is my story. Back around 2003/2004 I was looking for coaster videos. I had some DVDs from a company I think was called Horse Creek Productions. The POVs were awful. The shaking was so bad they are pretty much unwatchable. Searching I found R&E's Japan report. Ordered a few DVDs and found they were far superior to the others I had. Joined them on the first UK in 2006 trip and have taken a TPR trip every year since.

[Skycoastin Steve]

I had heard of TPR, but never joined until they came to Alabama Adventure this year and got their Rampage on all night long.

[angryemobeaver]

I was searching something about Six Flags many years ago and saw a photo of Mega Zeph. I clicked it and it was a 2001 (I think) TPR SFNO Trip report. Than I read a PKI one and and Geuaga Lake one. I didn't join for a few years later though. Not sure why it too me so long...

[Speeddeamon128]

I was browsing google one day for roller coaster websites & saw this site. As I was looking threw the forums I wanted to join in on the conversations because I like to talk coasters so I joined & since then have met a lot of awesome people who share my interest & have been on 3 AMAZING TPR trips!

[CorkscrewFoley]

If my memory serves me...and I am in my thirties so I'm getting old...I remember on satellite seeing an advert for KBF when Xcelerator came out back in '02. I remember wanting to see more of it, this was before I joined forums, and I found a video here. Also, if my memory is right, Elissa had an Xcelerator belt she was showing...

 

I've been a member since '05, but only starting posting here during the summer.

[Mr. Starr]

Started out at SFGAmworld.com, after aimlessly wandering around sixflags.com for a fascination of roller coasters. Eventually, I was googling random theme park terms, and themeparkreview.com came up. After spending about three straight days reading every single P:TR, TPR became a daily thing.

[PKI Jizzman]

There was a party in my tummy, so I jumped in too.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I didn't find TPR. It found me. Robb forced me to join at gunpoint.

[TYTL]

I searched "Roller Coaster Forum" in google and this website's banner was nice and I liked all of the topics, so I joined.

[atem122]

The oldest memory I have of TPR was years ago (back when my older brother was a mild coaster nerd) when my brother was browsing some trip report on Parque Espana. I joined the forum when one of my nerd buddies told me to, hell, before that, I didn't know TPR extended beyond the featured articles.

[CreditCrazy]

I voted for I don't remember, because I don't remember. I know I've been reading the Trip Reports on this site since at least 2007, but it wasn't until sometime in 2008 that I discovered "forums". I still didn't join for a while, but then on November 11, 2008 (the day I joined) there was a front page update on the TPR Trip Chat, and I wanted to see it, so I joined that day.

 

I probably found TPR for the very first time on Youtube...but that's too long ago to remember.
