It auto changed it to fix all the deadlines that used to point to the founding site, wws. So whenever you type it out, it replaces with coastercrazy.

As for that site, it went to become something else more representative of the name [lol]

It was 2003 when a young Mexican working in a liquor store in the barrios came up with the idea for CoasterCrazy.com. Between the random acts of gunfire and trying not to drop bottles of wine onto his feet, Oscar built and evolved CoasterCrazy.com over the next decade into what it is today.

Of course he had some help from friends along the way. And a community of users who contributed their wonderful creations to his site.

As we enter the final few weeks of operations for the old site, I figure its time we paid tribute to times gone by. From now until the new site comes online we will be using the "Coaster Legacy" theme.

Back in the day, WWS was blue, and CC was red. We always joke that Oscar wasn't sure which gang colors he wanted to represent. So to keep the peace, he chose both.

One thing in common I don't think you'll be able to find a better coaster site then coastercrazy. This is the site I always go to for posting or maybe hang out. Anyway I happen to come across one of my favorate NL track. What ever happen to Space Mountain 2005? Here at: http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail/11736 I don't think you can download it anymore but If anything I still have it[:)] This use to be one of my favorates.

I didn't notice the background change, but that's because I'm stuck in the Matrix.

Wow... I can't believe that I've been on this site for 11 years now. Thanks for making me feel old, Oscar. :p

Does this mean that we can call you WWS again until the new site is up?

I remember always going to WWS and CC being "that other site" and almost feeling sad when they merged. It's crazy to think it's been 11 years...

coasterbum, I think its one or 2 og the graphic files acting funny. Should fix itself shortly xD

Yeah, that otherwise was totally nuts. While I'm on here, I'd like to give a shout out to Matt from NLE. Nice job bro! (no I'm not being sarcastic we used to chat on IM before but then he like disappeared)

Back ontopic, the throwback brings so back so many member memories such as Master of Puppets, G Force Addict Symbiotic and many more. We need to have an irl reunion sometime xD

I wish that bockzilla or barone would show up. I knew that there was once wws, but why was it called like that again? I'm not sure if I've ever heard that story.

Uh, BTW, I can't open the chat. Maybe it has something to do with the layout change.
