-Do anything else I might want you to do

If you are interested in joining the team, leave a response in this thread and I will contact you if you are deemed worthy of such privileges.

deemed worthy should be underlined as were are the elite group, any flaging and you will feel the boot of oscar in your butt and it hurts. trust me i know

I could help update with the new roller coaster at California's Great America, and anything else nearby.

I am eligible for it (maybe be a mod for grammar stuff)

I've done news before on other sites and am on daily, a lot, and usually find any new news quickly.

You forgot your period.


Anyways, I'm up for the job.

I think Austin's a valid pick. A lot of the news reports seem to be by him.

Wnenever a coaster gets Dismantled I might be a good choice! I already broke the news about The Chiller and Deja Vu.

Do note that we are looking for a person who covers the entire globe and every park/coaster related news.
Of course we support people who are into their local park and provide news, but that's not what the position is for.

I could do it...

But, yeah, therwise I think Austin would be a nice pick.

Sorry Austin, my vote goes to PKIDelirium.

I don't believe they asked for voters.

Maybe not. But I think PKI would be good for that spot.

Indeed, we didn't, but we appreciate member input in every way. Wether its voluteering yourself or letting us know who you seem fit.

My bad.

Maybe you guys should submit a sample of what your news reports would typically be like.

KANSAS CITY, MO ????????? Deep in the woods of Worlds of Fun a dangerous predator lurks, ready to shred those fighting to escape the claws of the new PROWLER roller coaster. Beginning in spring 2009, guests at Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri, become prey to PROWLER, a beast of a wooden coaster tangled within the park?????????s forested terrain.



The two-and-a-half minute high speed chase begins with the ride?????????s only feature above the trees????????? cover, a swooping 85 foot plummet into a ravine. After the spiral plunge, the train rips through a seemingly endless amount of high speed hills and sharply banked turns that hug the wooded land below. With a top speed of 51 MPH, riders grasped in the clutches of PROWLER carve a path with powerful but smooth changes of direction, speed, and elevation.

Prowler is an $8 million investment and is located in the Africa section of the park near the Zulu thrill ride. The classic wood structure blends through a forest of unique terrain, creating a total elevation change of 102 feet throughout the course of the 3,074 foot ride.

?????????PROWLER reinforces our dedication to being the region?????????s leading thrill park and family entertainment destination,????????? said Frank Wilburn, Vice President and General Manager at Worlds of Fun. ?????????This wild roller coaster will attract both families and thrill-seekers when it opens this spring.?????????

PROWLER is custom designed and built for the topography of Worlds of Fun by Great Coasters International, Inc. (GCI) of Sunbury, Pennsylvania. The adventure begins when riders board one of two custom 12 row, 24 passenger GCI Millennium Flyer trains. These extremely comfortable trains feature a metallic blue, green, and copper color scheme with black seats and accommodate approximately 850 riders per hour.

PROWLER is the seventh roller coaster at Worlds of Fun and is scheduled to open spring 2009. Construction is currently underway, but those who cannot wait until spring may take a virtual ride on PROWLER at [url]worldsoffun.com[/url]. Visitors to worldsoffun.com may also access exclusive PROWLER updates and features, like a live construction Web cam, virtual renderings, ride statistics, construction photos, blog, and online fun.
