TeknoScorpion Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here, but I'm currently working on a new site, entitled "Paramount Parks Guide & Forums". Currently, the forums are open and accepting new members as of right now. The site will be an over view of all paramount parks, with links to sites such as these that focus on a specific park or attraction in the paramount chain. The main site isn't up yet, but I've opened the forums up to test the waters. I encourage all to check it out, tell me what you think, and make suggestions. Again, I'm sorry if this is against this site's TOS, and I hope I posted this in the correct forum. Edit: Ooopps. I guess I should provide the address http://paramountguide.proboards41.com Thanks again, clint b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I'll have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Cool I will check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeknoScorpion Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Thanks. Its definitly something I think that the fanboy community has been lacking, a central Hub for all Paramount Parks. The site will contain History, timelines, pix, etc for all parks, and each park section will have links to more indepth sites like this. I will be asking for help once both the site and forums get off the ground when it comes to moderators, writers, etc. I hope to see continued support, and thanks!

Vortexlover2 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I tried ot sign up, but there was not a password box to sign up, and apparently, you need a password. I suggest you change that. But other than that, COOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I do believe a site like this is bad for everyone as not only can a site like this drain the Kings Island, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds fansites, but it can't cover the parks the same way our sites can as we know more about our parks than one person could about them.

TeknoScorpion Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 If you had read, you would know that the point of the site is to have just a little bit of information about each and every site, and then to direct visitors to the appropriate fan site. And are you that worried about something becoming more popular than this or that site? That isn't the point. And why do you not think each park could be covered? I have people (myself included) at each park so far, except Terra Mitica that will be helping me update. Relax, no one is here to steal your thunder.

I agree. I mean PKI is one of the least covered parks! We really gotta be concerned about this new site taking the thunder from the PKD and Carowinds fansites! That's where all the action is at! Actually its kind of a good idea, kind of a bad idea. Anybody remember XPP - eXtreme Paramount Parks - a subdomain of Coasterbuzz? It went under because even with contributors from each park - its simply too much for one person to manage. What is needed is a sort of webring or network of Paramount Parks that work together and all feed into a central site that covers all of them.

RollerNut Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Yes, I remember XPP. I was mainly a Carowinds site. Most of what they had was Carowinds. I just dropped into the middle of nowhere. I wish the PPG best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Oh man, you beat me to it I was going to make a site devoted to all the Paramount Parks (especially for parks like PCW and PGA that don't really have a large fansite like PKICentral) Anyway, good luck on the site TeknoScorpion!

Captain Nemo Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Very good site. Good luck to you. I'm sure many paramount park fans will be happy with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Yeah, the Carowinds sites do indeed need work! hopefully this will help them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I hope youre talking about Carowinds Connection! The other site is AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Well, both sites are down, but Carowinds Zone is returning Tuesday afternoon. Carowinds Connection it appears is just a forum site now as the mainsite hasn't been updated in almost a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeknoScorpion Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 As for XPN, I plan on not being the only person managing the site. Once it is up and ready, the site won't be something that is constatnly updated with alot of new content. I want basic content and of course the latest park news, but then the ability to point to all the other great Paramount sites out there that have the best content. Kinda like a webring, yes. I hope that it will be up before I go to Solace, but if not, it will be up soon after. It takes alot of work, and I'm working every nite. So far, in 2 days, the site has 15 participants. I really do want to make this site a success, and hope to bring all the Paramount Sites together so that all parks can be covered to the best of everyone's ability. And with parks like Terra Mitica, Bonfonte, PGA, and PCW, it can offer the most information about those parks until a time comes when someone decides to make a fan site. Thanks again! c.b.

RollerNut Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 PGA and PCW used to one or more, after Boomerang and Tomb Raider was annouced they all died for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
