Theme Park Discussion / Vertical Horizons

    Hey all

    As a lot of you know I do quite a bit of research for the RCDB and try and keep abreast of news in the coaster scene all over the world. This leads me to do quite a bit of random Googling and I often find interesting tid bits and images I think people would like but don't really need a full forum topic.

    So I decided to make a small blog where I can post my results from my online rambles and collect some of my more interesting pictures in one place. As you guys are already interested in the industry I was hoping you may be able to give me some thoughts and Ideas on what would improve it.

    There really isn't much there at the moment though so just some visits would be nice :p

    I only started this morning but I've put up 2 posts to get it going.

    Here's your reminder.

    I've actually not got off to a bad start with about 70-100 views a day and over 2000 views on Tuesday last week.
    I even added a proper .com address :p

    I've been quite active with my hunting of rides in Asia so got a few good stories up.

    However I think the logo may need a bit of work. :S

    Here's a couple of taster shots of the new rides I've been researching and posting on.

    that log flume is amazing, looks like something out of a fantasy rct2 park.

    Great start, Roomie. I really like the name and the photos of the flume ride look spectacular! I'll be watching your progress on this. :)

    This is a brilliant site roomie. Your logo does indeed need a little bit of work, perhaps someone from our prep team could help you out with that lol, but fantastic site, it's great to see information on areas of the world we don't get too much info on!

    This is very cool, the idea and the site as well as the updates. I'm a big coaster nerd, a Nazi kinda like JDP, I'm actually setting up to meet with GCI about an internship, so I could contribute to the site if you needed the help.

    That's an impressive site you have there. Have you considered placing ads on the page, or is this is strictly for fun?

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Yeah the logo certainly needs work. But not had the time recently. Anyone have ideas on a better one.
    I do try and focus on rides out of the way, Its sort of my passion in the industry

    This is very cool, the idea and the site as well as the updates. I'm a big coaster nerd, a Nazi kinda like JDP, I'm actually setting up to meet with GCI about an internship, so I could contribute to the site if you needed the help.

    Thanks very much. Currently it really is just a place to post findings during my rcdb research. But in the future its possible I may expand and need more help :)

    That's an impressive site you have there. Have you considered placing ads on the page, or is this is strictly for fun?

    Thanks. It's really just for fun. Its not expensive to run and I enjoy finding new stuff and i find some pretty random crap :) . Maybe in the distant future it may require adverts but for now its all good.

    Alright dude, let me know if you ever need the help.
  • Roomie%s's Photo
    Been a little while since I made some updates.

    The new gravity group woodie at the new Happy Valley Wuhan in China has made startling progress though.
