I recently updated my map that I created for planning amusement park roadtrips. It has every park in the USA, Canada, and Mexico listed on the RCDB as operating and having at least one existing roller coaster. Each marker has a link to its RCDB page for reference. I figured I'd share it with you all in case you want to plan roadtrips too, or just to see what parks are near you that you may not have heard of or considered before.

Sorry if it is hindering efficiency or clarity using green markers for parks that I have personally been to. Let me know of any additions or mistakes that need fixing, or if you think I should change the green markers if you're truly going to use it enough to make that worth my while. My next project is some form of international map...that will be a while. Hope y'all enjoy!

I think it's really cool and could be very useful! Though what would be nice is if you did one color for cedar fair parks, and one color for six flags parks, etc. Nice job though
It's been a long time

Dayum, I have not seen one of these in a long time.

It is nice to see a fresh up to date version.

I love how they just kind of make a box around Wyoming.

This is neat and although its not an important thing but since you have parks with an alpine coaster as an option I would like to point a ski resort a couple miles away from where I live has one http://www.camelbackmountainadventures.com/
What are these for?

Colorful markers on this map look like buttons for a ride operator. Need special switches for defunct parks you wanted to visit, if possible! :D

@Coaster Hero: Why would that be of use? So one could more easily determine if a Six Flags Season Pass or a Cedar Fair Platinum Pass is worth getting on a roadtrip? They don't have that many properties, just work on memorizing them all ;)

@CKidd: I have just added all the alpine coasters I found on alpineslidedirectory.com and the one you said. I need more though, I know more exist.

@lol240: I will not be adding defunct parks. The purpose of the map is to see exactly where every operating roller coaster is in North America.

I don't see how this is any different than this? It's great and all but this is always up to date with RCDB and functions the same way.
1.Boulder Dash | 2.Legend(HW) | 3.Beast | 4.Ravine Flyer II | 5.Intimdator 305 | 6.Phoenix | 7.Twisted Timbers | 8.Wicked Cyclone | 9.Thunderhead | 10.Storm Chaser
