Hello and thanks for checking out the site. It's almost 7 years after the "Coast2coaster 2000" trip. Man time flies. I hope to work on the site a bit this year to fix broken links and perhaps give it a face-lift in order to learn more about some of the new web technology. We'll see if I can really get motivated. Click the contact link on the left and tell me what you think. |

At the end of this season, Kennywood will close their popular and infamous steel coaster for good. They simply have run out of room! Next year they will replace it with a major coaster installation (they are currently in negotiations with 2 different designers). |

Welcome to our website! We initially created this site to document our summer coaster road trip that we dubbed Eastcoaster ‘99. We traveled to six states over seven days and rode 44 coasters in 11 parks. We uploaded pictures and info as we traveled and assembled the page that you can now find on our site. The site has progressed into what you see now -- a
rollercoaster destination that will offer news, rumors, links,
ratings, photos, multimedia and a look into the future of
rollercoasters.
Construction on the site should be complete by
mid-November. Next summer we are preparing a trip that we are calling “Coast2Coaster 2000” that will zigzag us across the country while we will attempt to ride 100 coasters! Not only will we hit most of the major new coasters, we plan to document the trip with daily updates, chat sessions, photos and even video! Stay tuned for more details. |
