Hey guys, our brand new home page just went live today, January 10th! It has been a work in progress as a part of the new Coastercrazy.com.

To provide ya'll with as much coaster information as possible without going too crazy, we have decided to add much more cool stuff on the front page! We still feature coaster news stories and site news, but we will now add a section for coaster construction updates and links to the lastest photo trip reports for your viewing pleasure! That's right, if you post a really solid photo trip report, there's a good chance it will be posted on the front page! Lastly, as a new addition, under the lastest story in each secion we will link you to the last 2 news stories before the top one so it is still available to you, as there are updates posted almost daily in some sections.

I hope ya'll enjoy all the new info! If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here!

The only thing I don't like is that the very first line is "You are not a VIP or a Premium Member so you cannot change skin themes."

I know that for a long time already, you can put it on the bottom of the page now [;)]

hmmm, imo there should be a way to make them smaller of sorts, because the contruction updates and PTR's are a whole screen below site and coaster news.
Perhaps it would be better to combine coaster news and construction, and then make a top row of three.

I'm not wild on it to be honest. There is no intro whatsoever to the site. I know people who visit the site each day don't read it, but for new people it just looks a bit vague and non user friendly

You really think people coming here don't have a clue what the site is about until they read a description?

I see what Edge means. Actually, didn't this site used to have some type of intro text? I mean, it's obvious that it's a coaster site, but it's nice to see paragraph that explains what the site is all about.

I agree that a short intro is needed...I'll talk with the slap man. Any suggestions are welcome guys, we are just trying to be as much "in" with the coaster world as possible.

It does look different without the 'welcome paragraph', but IMO it looks great. Nice job guys.
