US Roller coaster map

Has anyone ever seen a US map with all theme parks and or roller coasters pinpointed? I'd like to have something like that to help plan a trip this summer.
That's sounds awfuly ambitious (if someone already hasn't done it). It would be tough proportionally to map some areas like Pennsylvania, which is littered with parks. I would recommend Tim Melago's Amusement Park and Roller Coaster Links, which list every single park (with a website) in the US, on one page.

The word "definitely" is definitely the most misspelled word on the buzz.
Your best bet is to check RCDB.com. They have a search engine that will help you find the next closest park to the ones you want to visit. It will also give you an approximate, in miles, of how far the next several parks are from your point of origin. By linking on the nest park you want, you can do the same and map out your trip with semi-ease.
Actually I have found one of them on www.coasterforce.com but it wasnt done very well. They had Holiday World in Minnesota and Kings Island in Indianapolis and SFMW and PGA too close to SFMM and KBF and DLR but they had the popular parks in the right place. I made one myself I bought a map and looked at parks on rcdb and found their address and then went to mapquest and typed it in and zoomed out to see where it was in the state. Hope that helps any.

If you can limit yourself to just a few states, you can start with ACE's "Guide to Ride," which has the parks organized by state. Then for each park listed, map the address using a mapping software such as Microsoft's Streets and Trips 2002. Unfortunately you can't print big maps using this software, but you can certainly zoom and pan the map on your monitor to get an idea of park locations relative to one another.

Easy enough to find.

All you need is... RCDB, a map of the area you are interested in, a marker or pen and a whole lot of patience.

Yeah. I think I'm going to make a bulletin board with push pins and some kind of index at some point...

I forgot about the Guide to Ride. My friend has it and it is excellent.

This subject comes up a lot on these boards. I guess there'd be interest in something like this. So who's going to take advantage of the opportunity?

It's not a whole US map, but rather state by state maps. Pretty useful.

There's this one for woodies: http://www.cox-internet.com/punchbug/wooden.htm

It's not exactly what you were asking about, but it's still pretty cool.
