Probably most people how are pretty regular here at TPR have seen the large amount of classic amusement park information that has been posted here. Including pictures, post cards, park maps, videos, links to youtube video, the list can go on.
One thing that has hit me though is while there is all this great information its hard to search, and if you are new you might not see it at all.
This gave me an idea, what about creating an on line archive / database of classic amusement park information. We can use text information, pics, home made videos, (not sure about footage from tv shows cause of copy write problems. Rob would you know more abbot this?) We could link to youtube videos of interest.
Now my question is what do you guys think about the idea? Also would those of you with the history, would you be interested in submitting it to an amusement park history database?
I cant provide information to the database, since I really don't have any to share, but I can provide the resources to make the database a reality, coding it, hosting it, running it, and whatever else is needed.
I am really interested on hearing what you all think about this idea. I think its somthing many coaster enthusiast will find interesting and enjoy. Also please don't take this as advertising. Nothing has been created for this yet, its all ideas at this point.
