Coaster Draft 2007

The 2007 draft is now underway!

Here are the rules:

Players will have 24 hours to make their pick; once the player as made the pick or 24 hours has passed, the next player may then start making their pick, although the member before will still have the chance to draft if the next person has not picked yet. If the member after you has already picked, then you cannot make your pick.

IMPORTANT NOTE -- PLEASE NOTICE: There will be NO emergency make-up picks this time unlike last year, so if you miss your chance to pick, you will forfeit that pick.

If an alternate does replace an active player who has missed their picks, then the alternate is allowed to make the pick up.

All coasters selected must be in the US.

All coasters must be open or scheduled to be open this year.

Coasters that are no longer standing or not running this year are not eligible.

A coaster can only be picked once; once it is selected, no one else may select it again.

I will also ask that nobody makes suggestions for coasters people should pick. It's not fair to other members and such posts will be deleted.

When making a pick, a post should contain the full name of the coaster. Abbreviations for parks will be allowed as long as they are exact. Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Great America can be easily confused if you only write SFGA. Remember to make it SFGAd or SFGAm.

About making trades: For trades to be official, both sides need to officially agree to the trade by posting here saying that you either announce or confirm the trade in question.

This thread is only for making draft picks, announcing/confirming trades, and important announcements made by Andrew, coasterlove, or myself. All questions/comments and trade poposals should be directed here.

Since we already have a master draft board, there will be no posting updated draft boards here or anywhere else. Always check the master board thread for updates to the draft board.

Once again, here is the official roster list:

1. Dan G
2. Andrew Polcyn
3. Marcus
4. sfft_2108
5. Katie
6. steel
7. WildeFyre
8. apsterling
9. DisGardeVersal
10. Brian F
11. James
12. Jimmy B
13. RidePhoto101
14. Martin
15. Wes
16. CHILLERLC1
17. Jerry S
18. coasterlove -- 2006 Coaster Draft champion
19. DEJA-VU RULES
20. Worm


Andrew Polcyn, coasterlove, and I will be coordinating the draft this year. If you have any questions, it is recommended that you ask them here. If you need to contact any one of us directly, Andrew and I are better reached through PM and coasterlove prefers to be e-mailed at coasterlove@tmail.com. Also I can be contacted through AIM my screen name is found in my TN profile.

Now then, let's get it started. Dan G is the first one up; he has 24 hours to make his pick and his clock starts now.

To see a list of the current picks go here.

Picking 3rd Overall, but really 4th, I select none other than "El Toro" ("El Toro" is Spanish for "The Bull") from the Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey in the United States Of America.

Katie, my friend, your 24 hour block begins now!!

I'm doing a double-header on this post, selecting on behalf of the next two players:

With the fifth overall pick in the 2007 ThrillNetwork's annual Coaster Draft, Katie selects:

Kumba from Busch Gardens Africa in Tampa, Florida.


With the sixth overall pick, steel selects:

Millennium Force from Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.


Due to the trade at the beginning of the draft, the next player up now is former #1 pick holder Dan G, your clock starts now.....unless you're in the process of making yet another trade, in which case that player's clock starts now.

Exclamation Breaking News: Player Change Alert!

We interrupt this broadcast to announce a change in the draft lineup:

Marcus has decided to drop out of the draft, citing his work load at Cedar Point as his reason. Coasterb will be the next alternate to fill in and he will have the #20 spot in the draft and everyone before him will move up a spot -- effective immediately.

So here is the updated draft board.

Thank you for your attention; we now take you back to your regularly scheduled program. James is still on the clock and has less than five hours left in his 24-hour window.
