Alternative forum suggestions.

[The Master]

Just as the title says, does anyone have any suggestions for park forums or other sites similar 5o the GAH forums? There won't be a replacement for this forum but perhaps an alternative place would help alleviate the sting a little.

I lurk on Themeparkreview, but I have my own personal issues of how that site is ran and how some members are treated. It was mentioned in a previous thread, but this website really did feel very nonjudgmental and inclusive, and most alternatives (Facebook, Themeparkreview) do not feel that way. I am in a couple of Discord chats which I enjoy and frequent a lot. I use it for the OpenRCT group discussion, my local pinball club, and my friends groupchat. I feel as though Discord would be the most inclusive option, as different channels can be created, and then you can have sub- threads within those channels for discussion on specific topics (such as Rides -> Carousel, or Rollercoasters -> KingdaKa, or 2024 season -> The Flash).

 

I know Discord was thrown around as an option in a previous thread too, and some people were averse to it, but I honestly don't know what the best alternative is.

Parkfans.net has a main focus on Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Kings Dominion, but they do cover all parks on their forums and are well moderated.

The rollercoasters subreddit on reddit is great for keeping up with the latest information and trip reports.

The Inside Universal forums mainly focuses on Universal, Seaworld, and Disney parks.  They have some discussion on other parks, but that is a bit limited.  The Six Flags Magic Mountain topic is pretty active.

The Coliwood Studios youtube channel posts often about Great Adventure news.
