December 29, 2012 - The pictures from Denmark's F�rup Sommerland have been posted.  Now to work on adding some more from my European trip...

December 15, 2012 - Be sure to look at the CoasterGallery.com YouTube Channel for lots of videos, including a few from Silverwood Theme Park.  Episode 1212 of the CoasterGallery.com Podcast was recorded live at Silverwood and gives some great details about this cool amusement park in Idaho.

November 27, 2012 - Here are some new pictures from Idaho's Silverwood Theme Park. Check back later this week for videos and a podcast recorded live at the park!

November 1, 2012 - Episode #1211 is a special broadcast covering Hurricane Sandy and the Disney's purchase of Lucas Films.  Several oceanside coasters were destroyed by the Hurricane... Please listen for details.

In case you missed it, here is Episode #1210 where I stepped away from roller coasters and ranted mostly about photography.  There is a tip you can use on every camera to look, and sound, more professional, as well as a talk about the importance of megapixel counts on cameras.  We get the megapixel talk started by covering the 17 cameras on the new Mars Rover.  Full show notes are here.

October 1, 2012 - Episode #1209 of the CoasterGallery.com podcast comes to you live from Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.  Be sure to check out the pictures and videos from this unique mountain park!

September 7, 2012 - On Episode #1208 of the CoasterGallery.com Podcast, I talk about the scarriest ride I have been on!  I give a few hints about this ride... Do you know which ride I described?  If you recognize what I am talking about, let me now and I will give you a preview of this new park.   And if you don't know, I will release the pictures here in a few weeks. (Please listen to the podcast for more details)

August 14, 2012 - Still releasing some Australia parks, so here is Luna Park Sydney.  Sitting in the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this small park has one of only five wooden Wild Mouse coasters still left running.

July 11, 2012 - I have been busy traveling in the past few months which means the Gallery Updates are a little slow.  But the good news is I have a ton of new roller coasters coming to the Gallery as soon as I catch up!

Today's big update is Dorney Park.  There are a ton of new pictures from all of the coasters, including the new Stinger ride that just opened a few weeks before I visited the park. And if you listen to the new Podcast #1207, you can hear my interview live from Dorney Park!   If you follow me on the Facebook CoasterGallery.com page, you have seen some of the first CoasterGallery.com videos from Dorney Park.  (Don't worry... The videos will be added here eventually!)

May 17, 2012 - Last fall, I visited Six Flags New England, and I finally added those pictures.  I now have covered the coaster that might have the worst name ever: Gotham City Gauntlet Escape from Arkham Asylum.

There have been a few more episodes of the CoasterGallery.com Podcast in the past few weeks.  The show notes have links to the songs we talk about, photographic examples of the camera techniques we discuss, and links to the roller coasters we cover.

April 12, 2012 - I have been on about 600 coasters, but I have never seen "coasters under glass" like these.   Denmark's Tivoli Friheden has four coasters surrounded by mostly transparent walls, but I had no idea why.

In other news, since you went through the trouble to click through to this page, I will give you a little preview of the new CoasterGallery.com Podcast! Here you can listen to the first five episodes:

    March 15, 2012 - Ever wonder what roller coaster is farther north than all other coasters?  The answer is at PowerLand at the PowerPark in Alah�rm�, Vaasa, Finland.  This new park has five great coasters including the amazing Thunderbird.

    February 20, 2012 - Our latest park started as Nellie Bly, but is now the Adventurer's Family Entertainment Center.   It is home to the TL*3 coaster, the ride with a strange name that I just can't explain.

    January 18, 2012 - Here is the first of 12 Scandanavian parks I visited: Finland's Linnanm�ki park in Helsinki has some cool rides, including a 60 year-old ride with a brakeman!  How would you like to stand up in the back seat of a roller coaster?  The brakemen on Vuoristorata wear a shirt and tie while controlling the train from the back seat!

    January 1, 2012 - I am kicking off the new year with my last major US update before publishing the Scandinavia parks.  I am not sure what to call my lastest update... Coney Island is home to three side-by-side amusement parks plus one historic coaster owned by the city of New York.  Currently, Luna Park, Scream Zone, and Dino's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park sit on this spot of land that was once home to some of the most famous rides and amusement parks at the turn of the last century.  And while Astroland has closed, the famous Coney Island Cyclone is still thrilling riders after more than 80 years of operation!  Be sure to check out my behind the scenes Cyclone pictures!
