Austin

Hey Guys! To start things off, I'm glad to be the head administrator of Amusement Park Authority. I got the idea for the site after planning a full theme park site, but a friend told me I should target Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom instead since it had no fan site. We ran as Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Online until the park closed and Shayne found us and asked to merge with him. Since then we have become Amusement Park Authority, which officially launched on June 1st 2010.

My name is Austin and I live in Louisville, Kentucky. Kentucky Kingdom has been my home park for 18 years. It's not much but it was a really good park when I was growing up. I am currently enrolled in Jefferson Community & Technical College with a major in Web Site Development & Administration. In my free time I play video games, and tweak the site to make it better. I'm a devout Patriots fan and that doesn't make me a bandwagon fan, if I was I would have jumped off when Brady got injured. This site has been one of my crowning achievements, and I'm very happy with the progress I've made with it. If you have any suggestions for the site please message me or send it to us by e-mail by clicking contact us at the bottom of the page or on the navigation bar above. If you would like to know more about me add me on Facebook.

Hope you all love the site and stick around!

Jp

Hey, this is Jerry from the heart of Texas. People call me Jp or Jerry, I don't care what you call me. I LOVE roller coasters, I don't know, what kind of person I would of been without them. I play football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, kickball and much more! When I am not on the computer, I am hanging with my friends and family, if not that then you can find me and my room watching reality TV. Every month, I go to Fiesta Texas and have a good time there. My first roller coaster was Romp Bomp A Stomp at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and my first looping coaster was Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas.

I get to go on the computer and visit this wonderful site mostly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So if you want to private message, e-mail or whatever you kids do now days. Please do so!

Nitrofan

Hello, I'm Nitrofan. I have been a Lead Moderator since the site was founded in August 2009 (as Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Online), and I have been an administrator of Amusement Park Authority since July 2010. I am very excited to be a part of Amusement Park Authority!

Obviously, I love roller coasters. My theme park trips have slowed down, but I have been to many parks in the past and I have acquired 105 credits. I have been to most parks in the Six Flags chain, Carowinds, Freestyle Music Park, and all of the Orlando parks, so don't be afraid to send me a private message with questions or requesting trip advice. I would be more than willing to help you. I am very knowledgeable on most American theme parks too, so if you have any questions and don't feel like looking it up, consider me your walking coaster dictionary!

I want to have fun discussing coasters, so please just follow the site rules and use proper grammar, and hopefully we can stay to the fun discussions! Once again, if you have any questions or need help with anything on the site, don't be afraid to send me a private message!

Shayne

Well to start with, my name is Shayne and I'm a coaster geek out of Rhode Island. I luckily have the most amazing girlfriend who happens to be a coaster geek herself. We tend to do quite a bit of traveling together and have seen most of the east coast. My next coaster goal is to conquer a good chunk of the west coast. If I ever happen to be in "your neck of the woods" then by all means feel free to say hey, let's meet up in the park for a couple rides. I believe my coaster count is ranked second on this site which is my newest pet peeve and will not rest until that is resolved. I have a few winter surprises planned for the site so we'll just have to wait and see what happens... Enjoy!
