Hey there CoasterCrazies!

We need your help, seriously. CoasterCrazy.com has not had a site coder for months due to complications with our old one. We really need a site coder to create new features for you, the users, as well as to keep the site running smoothly and reliably. This is where you, our fans/site users come in. We had the idea of creating a Kickstarter to fund a new coder for the site! We have many features planned and already partially developed, and we would love to see them become reality. While there is nothing I would love more than to tell you about these new features, I cannot. I promise though, that funding a new coder would be worth it for these new site features!

So I ask you, the members of our community, would you be willing to donate to us, either on PayPal or Kickstarter, to help fund a new coder for CoasterCrazy.com?

Please note: 100% of donated funds will go towards a new coder for the site, and nothing else!

The donation period will be from May 29, 2015- June 30, 2015!

If you do decide to donate, we have decided on some perks that you would get for donating! These are subject to change.

$1 - Personal thank you

$5 - Mention in thanks video (includes $1 reward)

------------------------------------------------------------
Every Donation below receives the above two incentives
------------------------------------------------------------

$10 - Hang with Staff on Skype and a keychain

$15 - Premium membership for 1 year

$25 - Premium membership for 2 years (includes $10 rewards)

$35 - Hang out on Skype with staff and guests (includes $10 rewards)

$50 - CoasterCrazy Shirt (includes $10 rewards)

$75 - 3 year premium membership (includes entirety of $50 and $35 rewards)

$80 - We will send you a video of us, the staff, dancing to the song of your choice!

$100 - CoasterCrazy Shirt signed by all the Staff

$150 - Mega Bundle! (Includes $35, $75, $100 rewards)

$1000- Turbo will personally fly out to your local park at your convenience and ride coasters and do a trip report with you! In addition, get a Flash drive full of all the NoLimits 1 and NoLimits 2 tracks uploaded to the site up until about July 2015! (US Only) (includes $150 reward)

$2000- Turbo will personally fly out to your local park at your convenience and ride coasters and do a trip report with you! In addition, get a Flash drive full of all the NoLimits 1 and NoLimits 2 tracks uploaded to the site up until about July 2015!(Europe or US) (includes $150 reward)

The goal price is set to $5 on Kickstarter, but that is only to guarentee that whatever money is pledged to us, we get so that we can fund a coder. Our real goal is $2000!

Our Kickstarter is LIVE and you can now begin donating a bit earlier than planned! Please donate if you can, we appreciate it more than you can imagine! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/14 ... undraising

Thank You,
CoasterCrazy Staff

dear god what have you volunteered me for?


although i can guarantee that no matter what happens if there's a photo or video of me, there will probably something rather illegal in the background (depending on which state you live in).

The main point of this topic guys is to advertise the fundraiser and also to ask one question:

What would you like to see added to the prize list?

Free tickets to park of choice would be an interesting idea.

We can't offer free tickets or anything because of Kickstarter's policies.

$2k+ to get some nice things put in and fixed. $5k will get us a lot of stuff done that I am sure you guys will like. We'll set the goal ridiculously low so that we get at least some monies :)
