Midwest Coaster Madness

coastermadnes05 · #1 01-29-2005, 11:53 PM

Guys, I just started a new site, I do have a link to ThrillNetwork on it in the links page and as I get going ill be posting banners of the better sites, including this one, throughout my site. I am going to be contacting American Coaster Enthusiasts as to see if I can make it a regional site also since we do not have one. But anyways, post up on it and check it out and let me know what you think. Im trying to make this a site for everyone in the midwest to connect to and keep up to the date info and events going on out here posted. Let me know what you think!
Thanks

I like it. The web site is fun. You have added some really nice touches that make stand out. Nice work.

Thanks for the feedback, it just went up this weekend so I have to get more content up there, but I want it to look fun and not overloaded. Once the forums and galleries get going it should be all good!

Indiana Beach but no Holiday World? C'mon now.

coastermadnes05 · #8 02-02-2005, 02:26 PM

:eek: yes I did forget about them, I will make sure to add them to the forums and park pages within the next week. That is one of my goals once I get everything situated on the site, to get more attention to the smaller parks. But thanks for the info, I looked over them.

coastermadnes05 · #9 02-02-2005, 10:08 PM

I have just added Holiday Worlds info to the parks section.. I still havent been there though, hopefully this summer I can make my way down!

coastermadnes05 · #10 02-03-2005, 10:46 PM

I just added a new section on the front page called featured park ride.
Every week or two I will feature a park ride with a description and pics of the ride I took.. Let me know what you think or post about it in our forums under the site feedback section. Thanks!

I like the look. I stay in the midwest so this site will definently be nice. Great Job, I will probably become a member later. :)

coastermadnes05 · #12 02-04-2005, 06:27 PM

Well thats my intent, to promote what coasters the midwest has to offer and to keep everyone in touch on the forums... so keep us bookmarked ill be updating it constantly.

Thanks

coastermadnes05 · #14 02-07-2005, 09:22 AM

I apologize for that, im trying as fast as I can to do the gallery section.. Theres a lot of pic editing and script to put in for flash to do that.. but I will try to get a couple more up tonight.. thanks for checking it out though!!

coastermadnes05 · #15 02-08-2005, 12:57 AM

I added some more pics tonight and coverage on the ACE No Coaster Con this past January on the Top Story area of the front page

TDMAMBA · #16 02-08-2005, 10:12 PM

**Brian F** · #18 02-09-2005, 06:07 AM

Nick,

I like your site, but ACE does have a midwest website

[url]http://www.acemidwest.org/[/url]

Don't let that slow or stop you on yours, though. It's really pretty cool.

coastermadnes05 · #19 02-09-2005, 09:25 AM

Im an ACE member and I didnt even see that on the links board of the main site.. But thanks for the compliment on my site.. I do plan on to keep going with the site. It looks like on theirs they cover Indiana, WV and Kentucky..kind of an odd combo but I will send an email to them to link up and see if we can help each other out.
Thanks!

coastermadnes05 · #20 02-10-2005, 09:19 PM

It may be a little while before I get some more galleries up. I have to do some work on things inside the site. I will keep the news, events and pic of the week updated though.

coastermadnes05 · #21 02-15-2005, 01:07 AM

More news and picture of the week added!

coastermadnes05 · #22 02-16-2005, 08:34 PM

I have talked with ace midwest and we will be adding each other on our sites.. New links have been added and more photos will be coming in the next few weeks. Everything else will be constantly updated. I have also changed the style of the forums with different colors.

coastermadnes05 · #23 02-18-2005, 06:43 PM

Hey everyone, im posting this in my site area because the information is located in my forums. If you live near Six Flags Great America please check this out. They are sponsoring the polar plunge for the Special Olympics and will be having people dressed up as mr. six jumping in Lake Michigan. This is to benefit the special olympics. There are more details in the fourms... plus they are offering people who jump a great incentive.
Check it out or email me [email="nick@midwestcoastermadness.com"]nick@midwestcoastermadness.com[/email] if your interested and ill get you more information!

coastermadnes05 · #24 02-21-2005, 07:34 PM

We just bought new canon rebel digital cams and dv recorders.. the galleries will have tons of pics as soon as the parks open. I believe the first on will be opening March 25th which is Six Flags St. Louis. We will have everything posted as soon as we get back!

coastermadnes05 · #25 02-26-2005, 08:24 PM

We have added more topics to the forums area including an anything goes to talk about off topic non coaster news and games.

coastermadnes05 · #26 02-27-2005, 09:55 PM

I posted pics of Superman Ultimate Flight that I took today in the galleries section and also made it the new featured ride on the front page.

coastermadnes05 · #27 03-03-2005, 12:58 AM

I was able to make it out to SFGA saturday and have gotten a few pics to start getting the galleries up. Check them out when you have time. Once the season opens, ill fill the galleries as fast as possible.

coastermadnes05 · #28 03-06-2005, 06:02 PM

We have added a new top story. There was a special olympics charity held through out Illinois yesterday. One of the locations had Six Flags Mr Six look a likes that ran into Lake Michigan for a good cause. Check it out at the site and see the photos!
