A Nation of Thrills: A Collaborative Timeline

Introduction
  • File:Cyclone_Roller_Coaster_(Coney_Island,_New_York)_001.jpg

    Welcome to my first timeline! In this timeline, we will change the history of the American Theme Park after 1995. A few quick posting rules. First, no post will be made canon unless it is approved by me first. After I open up posting to everyone, please send me a direct message with a link to a Google Doc so I can approve it first. After it is approved, you can type it up here and post it. Second, this is only changing ownership, rides, and names, all after 1995. NO changes to technology will be permitted. Company changes are possible (Cough Arrow Dynamics Cough). Finally, don't be discouraged if I don't get back to you immediately. I usually will be on during the afternoon and periodically through the day. These are Eastern Time (US). I will send you my response after I have seen the addition.
