6,112 visitors yesterday... holy crap!

I don't generally like to share visitor counts with people (unless they're advertisers), but I can't help but mention that the world set a CoasterBuzz record yesterday by gathering more than 6,000 visitors to the site. That's crazy, considering that I haven't posted any news! I'm guessing it had something to do with the recent TV and print coverage lately.

In any case, I'd like to thank you for your support. Hopefully the popularity won't be too much to afford!

And given all this exposure, would you believe there is a park PR rep out there who thinks their park is too good to bother with us? Any guesses which one it is? :)

Well Jeff I personally want to thank you for providing us with such an interactive web-site where we can express our coaster opinions. And if at some point, you do need to charge for membership to the site, just tell me where to sign.

Yeah, same here man. Great forum, great news great everything. I give you my full congrats with honors. :)

Yeah, what they said! :)

I'd be very suprised by that, and I have my reasons....

If it's SFWoA, they get enough free advertisement on here as it is. Same goes with CP, PKI, IOA,... Any park. Unless it's a horrible park, I wouldn't be surprised if many didn't want to on a coaster site. It doesn't make much sense that way.

Way to go Jeff...Love the site and keep up the great work...Do any of you think an all FLASH site would be interesting? It would be totally different from CB.

Thats a very high number and it dont think it would be SFWOA but you never know. If you need money I would send you some money.

Congratulations Jeff! I'm glad to see that you were recognized on CP's site as well. That's some credibility right there and should help you as well as them out. Also, the number of people surfing Coasterbuzz numbers seem to be gorwing steadily.

Well, after awhile, PKIs PR directors sorta get mad at you for asking a lot of detailed questions and they stop responding to your emails. Personal experience.

Congrats, and raise your advertising rates!

PKI Freak,

It's people like you that give enthusiasts (read: enthusiasses) a bad name with parks. STOP
HASSLING the park's PR & Marketing Departments
asking what their next coaster is gonna be, etc,
etc, ad nauseum.

It's none of your business, and parks, ESPECIALLY
PKI, do enough for us as it is. Just let them do
their jobs, and leave the questions/concerns for
the forums.
