 August 8, 2016 - Another summer, and my backlog of pictures keeps growing as I visit parks.  Last month, I returned to Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, so it was a lot of fun returning to these great parks so I could ride (and photograph) some amazing coasters.  And in order to keep adding parks, I also made my first visit to two parks in Ontario.  In the next three weeks, I am planning to ride coasters in Texas and Florida, so I'll be racking up a lot of miles and taking a bunch of pictures and videos.

In the mean time, some of the new Magic Mountain pictures have shown up in the gallery, and more will be posted in the next few days... including coverage of the fantastic Wicked Colossus, a ride that went from a rough, boring wood coaster to a wonderful, world-class steel coaster that races, goes upside-down, and provides some intense airtime.

May 27, 2016 - It's been a while since I added a new park, but I have been busy working on the Gallery.  Some of my activities have been fun, like my recent trip to Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Castle Amusement Park, and LegoLand California.  Other activities weren't as much fun... I've been working on redoing the HTML architecture of CoasterGallery.com.  I am not a computer expert, and the structure of my website really hasn't changed in the past 15 years.  However, I have been hard at work developing a new, responsive site, one that even scales and changes itself when viewed on a mobile device. (If you want a preview of the new design, and would like to give some feedback as I change the site, please join the CoasterGallery.com Facebook page.

February 28, 2016 - There have been a few new parks added to the Gallery so far in 2016.   Kemah Boardwalk in Texas sits on Galveston Bay and is home to one wood coaster, the Boardwalk Bullet.

Another new park I recently added sits in the Texas Panhanle.   Wonderland Amusement Park is in Amarillo and is home to five roller coasters.  The most notable rides are the 1960 Cyclone Wild Mouse, a neat old steel coaster built by Miler, and the strange 1985 Texas Tornado, a looping steel coaster built by O.D. Hopkins.

I also had the chance to visit Six Flags Fiesta Texas to see how Rocky Mountain Construction changed Rattler into Iron Rattler.  It is a fantastic improvement over the original!  And as a little added bonus, I got a ride on the first S&S Worldwide "Free Spin" coaster, Batman: The Ride.
