Nice site coastermadnes05, great content. I just sent you an email to submit my link to your site. Let me know so I can put you up on my site.

Later man. :p

coastermadnes05 · #32 03-22-2005, 07:12 PM

No problem, thanks for the compliment. Weve only been up for 2 months so we will be adding lots more once the season gets going. Keep in touch!

CoastersRule · #33 03-23-2005, 05:47 PM

Looks like your web site is coming along nicely.
I know you are planning to add the smaller parks later, but I just wanted to plug Adventureland in Altoona, IA - Silver Dollar City - Celebration City in Branson, MO. :)

coastermadnes05 · #34 03-23-2005, 08:11 PM

Wdwmania, I will be adding your site this weekend. Coasters rule.. no problem, smaller parks will be coming later this year. But thanks for the parks to include. I will do my best to get them all.

coastermadnes05 · #35 03-28-2005, 11:09 PM

The links have been added and we have also just started a kennywood forum in the forums area.

coastermadnes05 · #36 03-30-2005, 08:21 PM

We have just added a chat room to the site, it can be found on the main page under chat. We prefer to have you register as a forum member first then use that name to register in the chat section. We will be using it to discuss outings and park events!!

coastermadnes05 · #37 04-08-2005, 11:07 PM

We have just added a "coaster traxx" section in the forums for everyone to discuss no limits and rct. There will be a coaster traxx section on the site itself soon where we will have members projects posted for download.
Enjoy!

coastermadnes05 · #38 04-15-2005, 07:22 PM

Coaster Traxx is up in the forums, we have added a section on the main site, it will be completed in the next few days. You will be able to submit tracks and rides and we will post them for you.

Halo-Man · #39 04-20-2005, 04:11 PM

Ok well umm can you try and have it so that the uploading is in zip format because for us mac users the other types don't work. thx :D nice site.

coastermadnes05 · #40 04-22-2005, 09:56 PM

Thanks for the compliment. I hear ya on the mac stuff.. Im actually having it where you email the file and info to my site email and I post the link and file and description, so there would be no uploading involved for you except sending the email. There would be too much database build right now to have the users upload their own files and creations, so im going to manage that myself until the site gets larger. But check it out, and put your info in the forums if you have questions!
Enjoy!

Coaster Traxx is complete and we are ready to start accepting creations to put up on the site. All we ask is that you become a forum member before submitting your creation!

We have just added coverage to the site on opening day at Six Flags Great America.. pictures for the galleries will be up in the next couple of days.. plenty of trip reports in the forums.

coastermadnes05 · #42 05-10-2005, 08:11 PM

Trip reports are up in the forums and we have started added pics of rides at SFGA in the galleries.. Deja Vu is also the new featured ride.

coastermadnes05 · #43 05-22-2005, 12:31 PM

We have just posted pictures of the new Hurricane Harbor at Six Flags Great America. Check it out in the Top Story section of the site. This was a behind the scenes tour while still in the construction process.

coastermadnes05 · #44 05-25-2005, 07:20 PM

Just wanted to give a quick site update.. we were at the Six Flags Great America Media Day today for the new Hurricane Harbor. We have a top story section on it with plenty of pics. Check it out when you have a chance.

coastermadnes05 · #45 06-08-2005, 08:55 PM

Well we just got back from CoasterMania and had a great time at Cedar Point. Dragster even showed up for some ert time. We have coverage of it on the site as well as a new featured ride. Check it out!

coastermadnes05 · #46 06-21-2005, 10:06 PM

We have just released version 2.0 of the site.. a total makeover. We felt we needed to step things up a bit and this proves to be where we would like it. Most of the site is live, there are still a few pages that are in active and have bugs and we are working on that. We plan to have the site completely updated by the end of next week. Enjoy!

coasterfreak14 · #47 07-05-2005, 02:37 AM

The site looks really good. Great job!

coastermadnes05 · #48 07-15-2005, 09:40 PM

thanks.. theres still a lot going on behind the scenes. We just had to switch boards for security issues, but were up and around that. We should be adding video and a lot more pictures shortly.

coastermadnes05 · #49 07-16-2005, 04:09 PM

we have just posted a new top story a fellow board member of ours did. He was at the Hades walkthrough and got some really cool pics. We have some of them posted to check out!

coastermadnes05 · #50 09-12-2005, 09:15 PM

We are changing some of our forums around and getting rid of old ones and adding new ones. If you havent already registered, check it out and the polls will be up tomorrow to vote on the new ones we would like to add.

coastermadnes05 · #51 09-14-2005, 09:36 PM

We have added new forums today.. Six Flags St Louis, Worlds Of Fun and a Welcome Forum to introduce yourself. Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great America is the new featured ride. More Pics and Videos to come in the upcoming weeks.

coastermadnes05 · #52 09-26-2005, 07:20 PM

Weve gone up to the PHPBB forums today. We switched from SMF due to lack of support. Unfortunately, we had to take the forums from where they originally left off on the old switch over in July so we lost everything from July until today.. Check them out and let us know what you think.

cata1yst · #53 09-27-2005, 11:38 PM

nice work.

coastermadnes05 · #54 10-05-2005, 10:01 PM

We have added 2 new videos to the video section of the site.. one is of the typhoon at Santas Village and the other is just a quick Cedar Point one I put together that I had some extra footage of.. more to come!! Enjoy. :D

coastermadnes05 · #55 11-06-2005, 04:33 PM

New events for the midwest have been added for the offseason and a new featured ride with a video from santas village has been added today.

CoasterLisa · #56 11-08-2005, 01:34 AM

Nick, nice site. I like the colors, layout and easy navigation. The font you used is cool, but I had a hard time in reading some items. Not sure I like the graphic letters you used for the logo. They seemed a bit juvenile for the sophisticated look you have going. But overall, everything is well organized. Just curious did you use an editor to build the site or just notepad?

I may submit a link exchange to my site if you are interested.

Keep up the good hard work.

Lisa

PS - Coding can be a b*tch at times.

coastermadnes05 · #57 11-08-2005, 08:42 PM

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. The whole site aside from the gallery pictures is done in flash. To me its easy to use, most people have told me they have a hard time with it, but it make it easy to move things where you want them. The fonts are a little different because I use a mac to design the whole site. The main font you see is called Bank Gothic on the mac. It just looked clean and sharp to me. As for exchanging links, Id be glad to list you. Even though I am a midwest site, I have no problems learning about other parks around the U.S.

Tanks4me05 · #58 11-11-2005, 05:30 PM

For some reason I can't view the Cedar Point video.

coastermadnes05 · #59 11-11-2005, 10:16 PM

You may need Quicktime 7. I have a link for it on the site to get it. I made some of the videos in the new h264 format which has better quality.

coastermadnes05 · #60 11-20-2005, 10:31 AM

Just a few updates on the site. We have updated and cleaned up our links section, organized the parks section and added a new feature on the main page where you can go and get live weather and travel information for any midwest park you are visiting. Enjoy!
