CoasterBuzz celebrates four years on the Internet

Posted Thursday, January 29, 2004 1:05 AM | Contributed by Jeff

CoasterBuzz turns four years young on January 30, 2004, after serving well over 30 million pages to more than 10 million visitors.

With the help of amusement industry professionals and the enthusiast community, more than 2,800 news headlines have been served. While the site's databases have been rounded out, members contributed more than 1,100 photos in the last year. CoasterBuzz Club has grown to 350 members and will host the official Beast 25th anniversary event at Paramount's Kings Island on June 26, 2004.

Here's a look back at the many faces of CoasterBuzz...

Ahh yes. The days of the yellow.

Great work Jeff. Easily my favorite site on the net and more for the people than the coasters.

Indeed - by far the best coaster site out there. It 'll be collecting my dues for many years to come.

Congratulations on the first four.

....have to admit getting a little misty looking into the time warp that way....Coasterbuzz actually has its OWN history....cool "community".

Congrats to Jeff, the mods, and us. And I guess I'll just second everything Tina said....(me too!)...:)

Great Job, Jeff.

I hope to see many more improvments and added features to the coasterbuzz.com website. I hope to see you guys at WOF, SDC, CC, or wherever I am going to this year.
