Roller Coaster DataBase (RCDB) is a US American website created in 1996, on which all stationary roller coasters worldwide (see also review ) are listed. The site was created by Duane Marden. The site offers an extensive search function to search for manufacturers, amusement parks and roller coasters yourself. In addition, record lists are created with speed, altitude, length, departure and inversions. With these, the visitor can individually adjust from which regions of the world or which types are displayed.
team
In addition to the founder, owner and webmaster Duane Marden, who lives in Wisconsin , USA, two other people are behind the success of the website. Derek Sailors from Charlotte , USA, was the main researcher at the beginning of the database and now manages the Facebook page. Rik Engelen, resident in the Netherlands , is a photo editor and database administrator as well as a Facebook moderator. Jean-Marc Toussaint has also been responsible for the similar graphics for years.
statistics
To date, over 8,000 roller coasters and nearly 4,000 amusement parks have been listed. There are also over 60,000 images and almost 6,000 linked videos.
languages
The website is available in ten languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. Andrea Civitarese, Benoît De Groote, Dr. Yulai Wang, Jean-Baptiste Pingault, Joel Hettinger, Lucas Ferraz, Matthias Mauracher, Michael Pantenburg, Rik Engelen, Tommy Jakobsson and Xing Fu were involved.
criticism
In fan circles, criticism is often expressed in connection with mobile roller coaster. There are various traveling systems in the database (including the Olympia Looping , Höllenblitz , Black Hole or Cobra ) if they have a long guest performance at an amusement park-like facility, such as the Vienna Prater , or for a (partial) season in one Amusement park. Other traveling roller coasters, mainly found in Central Europe, are not taken into account in the Roller Coaster DataBase and therefore the database has missing entries, even if it only refers to stationary systems.
