weird..i was just on their earlier today and it was the same old layout it used to be, now in just probably 5 hours or so they've changed it..must be masters at HTML.

It now looks like crap to me... oh well.

uh... it looks the same only orange.. i must be missing something

I don't see the problem like already stated it's the same only orange i don't see the problem.

I also think it is cool!

There's a lot of new features and info added as well.

Wow. And to think I didn't think it could get any better the last 2 times they updated.

I don't know if I like the colors... but as long as it functions like the old RCDB. I liked the last layout, with blue, kept the loading time down, which I really enjoyed.

Here's one of the new features that I really like:

Type a city name into the quick search box and look at the results you get.

This should make the greenest of trip planners into pros.

Couple that with the direct links to relevant maps at both Google and MSN on each park page and there should never be another trip planning question thread around here again. ;)

Looks great....

If only it would report the status of any roller coaster over 400'. ;)

A day at the park is what you make it!

Keith, changing the colors of the page isn't going to increase the loading time.

You've always been able to do that.

But it never gave a list of parks nearby. It just gave a list of parks with an address in that city. Also, it was not very efficient as many parks are in metro areas, but don't actually have that city's name in their postal address - like SFGAm wouldn't pop up for "Chicago" and KW wouldn't show for "Pittsburgh"

In addition, to find nearby parks you then had to click on a park in the city you searched and then choose 'parks nearby' from there.

Now you can just type a city name and get a full list of parks within a 50 mile radius. Much more accurate and efficient this way.

I really like the logo. And I like the orange.

I was actually browsing the site and as I went to a different page, it changed on me. It was pretty cool.
