Actually I'm thinking they're either grabbing them from personal sites or from RCDB, since that's the only 2 places that you'll find my pictures at all. And the only way I got mine on RCDB was because they were a couple of obscure coasters. :)

Sometimes it's up. Sometimes it's down.
But with God, life is one thrill ride that you'll never regret being on.

... out of what's already a joke is just a total joke.

Oh come on...you think that a group like this is going to sit back and not add its 2 cents? Should we have all replied with "Ha Ha...that was funny." and "Me too."??? It's a conversation. Yah, we're regressing sure, but what the heck, we regress each time we scream like a kid on a coaster. We're having fun here...whether or not it is approved of.

$3000 for a lifetime pass to "all the parks", huh? I'll see your bluff, and raise you.
If you can GUARANTEE me that NO park will EVER turn me away with your little cardboard cutout produced-on-an-inkjet "pass", I'll buy one. If any park EVER turns me away, you refund my money twice over. And I mean ANY park with a gated admission or ride-all-day option -- ...Castles & Coasters.

And you know what's sad? even Castle's and Coasters would not accept it....

Also, was the site hacked? http://www.freewebs.com/coasterpreservation/information.htm

1) The logo, 2) They say they have secured funds (hint, monopoly money doesnt count) 3) My gay friend says that the little CPO logo with a rainbow in the background, well the rainbow with the purple triangle is also the logo for gay pride YAY!

I'm not sure what to think. It looks like the same information as the original site for the most part except that one page. It could've been hacked or an attempt to make a better webpage in their eyes. But then again the "gay rights" looking logo may give it away.

What is this? Pick on Themedesigner day? Come on, guys.... Brian is on your side. Perhaps you aren't getting the wink? ;)

"It's not a Too-mah!" - Arnold after riding Batman the Ride

Quoted from
http://www.freewebs.com/coasterpreservation/coasterstosave.htm

"Its unfortunate that rides need to sufur. Whats worse is that peopklet that should care like ACN and Coasterbuzz don't. I bet if you saw a bunny in trouble, youd help. Well coasters are in trouible. AND you can help. Dont be like the bad guy when it comes to bunnys, if you know what i mean"

In my best Homer Simpson voice.....

Mmmmmm......Hasenpfeffer....

(for those unfamiliar with strange German cooking, Hasenpfeffer is peppered rabbit stew)

...and from The Last Boy Scout....

See now, Eric.... If you have to explain the joke, then what fun is the joke? ;)

But, it's so fun to pick on little kids. ;)

Oh well, I grew out of pulling wings off flies...I guess I don't really need to pick on wacky teens anymore to feel good about myself.

So, let's pick on the drummer instead!!!! ;) You know how wiley they all are. Just look at Keith Moon for goodness sake. There's a reason they put them as far away from the audience as possible ya know. ;)

What is with this particular thread? Sheesh..... Janfrederick, I wasn't referring to you, my friend, although I can see certainly how you would have assumed that. (I am a drummer, after all) I was speaking to our pal EV up there. Why... his name is Eric too!!!! ;)

Hmmm. Could someone point me in the direction of said photos?

If I find a single pic of mine on there with the site ID edited off, this kid's going to learn about the workings of the law real fastlike...and not imaginary ones either.

Then again maybe I should be honored that such a fine organization would choose my photos...

What about people who are not only drummers, but also percussionists?

The only way to get us to slow down when playing is to put music in front of us. If you want us to stop, put notes on the music.
