December 31 - Since this is the last 2003 entry, I am going to reveal the next parks that will be added to CoasterGallery.com.  Here they are in no particular order:  DelGrosso's Amusement Park, Astroland/Coney Island, Celebration City, Old Town, Sea World Orlando, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Silverwood Theme Park, Wild Waves and Enchanted Village, Vancouver's Playland, and the Washington Fair.  And if that is not enough, I also have new pictures from Cedar Point, Disneyworld, and Knott's Camp Snoopy.  I have taken pictures from those parks already, but I just need some time to edit the pictures and make the pages.  And as always, I am hoping to travel and visit even more parks, so these updates will continue!  Happy 2004!

December 14 - The Williams Grove pages are done.  I also placed more new items on the Merchandise Page.  In addition, I updated a ton of pages all over the Gallery... lots of details on defunct, renamed, or relocated coasters.

November 30 - The Williams Grove pictures are not quite ready, so I will unveil some other items this week.  To help you search for holiday gifts, be sure to check out my Merchandise Page.  I have added lots of new items on that page for your enjoyment.  Also, I am revealing one of the CoasterGallery.com 'easter eggs' that I have hidden around the Gallery.  The Double Loop has been on the Manufacturer Search page for a few years, but I bet most of you have never even noticed it!

November 23 - The Playland pictures are ready.  Now I only have nine more parks to add... this will definitely keep me busy in the next few months!

November 14 - I haven't finished the Playland pages yet, so you will have to settle for other coaster news this weekend.  Here are the biggest news items among all of the new details that have been recently added:  Thunder Eagle is moving from Tennessee to Quebec, Mall of America is adding the spinning coaster Timberland Twister, and Worlds of Fun is removing Orient Express to make room for another spinning coaster called Spinning Dragons.

October 27 -  Dutch Wonderland has been unveiled as the newest park.  However, careful fans of the site have noticed that it has been on the Search Pages for about two weeks.  I typically do this to give some people the chance to preview the pictures before they are officially released.  Also, I ask them to proof the pages to help spot errors.  So in the next few months, keep your eyes on those pages and you just might get to see the next parks before they appear on the home page!

October 17 -  Wow!  Has it really been three weeks since I added new pictures?  Besides being occupied with my new teaching job, I have been busy traveling... and of course I visited some amusement parks!  If you look carefully at my Search pages, you will get some hints of what parks are going to be added to the Gallery in the next few months.  And if you search around the site very carefully, you will find links to a park that has not even been added to my home page!

September 27 -  The new Hersheypark pictures are done.  

September 5 - As I finish my Dorney Park pictures, the announcement comes out that Hercules is being removed.  To be honest, I am not too upset.  Age has not been very kind to it, and it gives an extremely rough ride these days.  But the really exciting news is that it will be replaced by a B&M floorless coaster in 2005.   I also updated the site to reflect the fact that Stealth is moving from Paramount's Great America to Carowinds.  Meanwhile... enjoy my Talon pictures.  

August 22 - The Indiana Beach Pages are done.  Now I can move on to the pictures from my early August trip.  I will be adding new pictures from Cedar Point, Lakemont, Hersheypark, and Dorney Park.  And if that is not enough, I will be adding the following parks:  William's Grove, Dutch Wonderland, Playland, and Coney Island.  And once those are done, CoasterGallery.com will be adding another country to its coverage!  But since I begin teaching next week, it is going to be a little while until the new parks are added... so please don't email and ask when they are going to be done.  I will get to them as quickly as I can!

August 17 - I know I promised Indiana Beach would be the next park... but I am surprising you with new Superman Ultimate Flight pictures from Six Flags Great America.  Also, there are a couple of new pictures of older coasters.  Check out what is left of Shockwave!  But don't worry... Just a few more days before the new Indiana Beach pages are made public.

August 14 - The Kiddieland pictures are released.  As for other pictures... I just returned home from visiting ten amusement parks!  The majority of places I have never been to before, so CoasterGallery.com is going to be adding a lot of new locations and some great historic coasters.

August 13 - Added details about coasters coming in 2004 to Hersheypark and Dollywood.

August 6 - If you are visiting amusement parks in the next two weeks, keep your eyes open.  Look for Joel and Jeff.  (Need help?  Click here for a picture of Joel on the left, and Jeff on the right.)  They might even have on their CoasterGallery.com T-shirts.  If you do see them, be sure to stop and say hello.  Joel and Jeff will visiting numerous parks in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

June 24 -- Now that the film is back from the developer, I can announce where I went on my coaster trip.  Indiana Beach and Kiddieland are going to be the next two parks added to the Gallery.  In addition, there are going to be loads of new pictures from Valleyfair, Six Flags Great America, Cedar Point, and Kings Island.

June 4 - Several updates... Made various changes to reflect new, relocated, and modified coasters.  Highlights include:  moving Viper from Six Flags Over Georgia to Kentucky Kingdom (renamed Greezed Lightnin'), moving Texas Tornado from AstroWorld to Marine World (renamed Zonga), and Joker's Revenge going to Six Flags New Orleans.  Also changed a few things on the FAQ page.
