Hi! I'm new to this forum, but not to rollercoasters. (Proud coasterbuzzer and an original GTTPer)
Well, I believe that European parks and coasters should be updated to this site. If anyone is not familiar with European parks- check out rcdb- great rides, great parks.
I was really surprised when I found out that there are only US parks on the site, I was surprised, some of my favorite coasaters are in Europe.
If you do decide to add some European coasters, I do have plenty of quality pics, I'll be willing to upload.
Anyone with me?

Two Points
The first, I agree with you, Six Flags Holland, Six Flags Belgium and other great European Parks do exist! We Need a Europe Sub Category.
Second, There are non US Parks on the site, Edmonton has Galaxy Land, an indoor park. But I have a quibble withthis, it should not be listed under Edmonton, thats the city name, change the listing to either Canada or ALberta (the province Edmonton is in)
So yes, European and Canadian Sub categories and listings Please!

Although the site says, "Welcome to the Internet's premier guide to America's theme parks and attractions."
TPC is a North American park site, so you won't be seeing any Eurpeon parks on the site, and I don't think we need them. Why have them if most people here will not visit them, and why have them if not many people will actually write reviews for the rides there?

I just noticed that though, Galaxy Land should be listed in Alberta. However, this site is for North American Parks, the site would become too big if there was every park in the world listed on it. That would be like rcdb with reviews and forums.

Plus it would be a waste of space if they were added.

I dont mind imput from our friends overseas, but I dont think an international section would be good since so few of us visit parks overseas.
Also, y'all referred to it as a North American site, but parks in Mexico and Central America arent included, so we should basically call it a US-only site with bonus parks in Canada. But the TRs are a good idea, and if the members from other nations want to start a thread in the Coaster Critics forum, thats cool too.

I'm going overseas next month and plan on visiting some parks over there. Maybe I'll be able to convince some of you to sign up for a passprot, making an int'l section more relevant

I did. It sounds like a great park with a good mix of modern and classic rides. Hopefully I'll be able to visit it.
