June 15, 2005 is when it all began — for Coaster101, at least.
When I started the website as an incoming high school freshman, I saw it as an outlet to share my passion for roller coasters with an audience, however small that audience was. High school isn’t exactly the place to share your niche interests.
Coaster101 Through the Years
Never did I think it would become what it is today. And I have so many to thank for that — first and foremost, you, our reader. You make all of our hard work worth the effort. And secondly, the talented group of writers who continue to bring you the content you know and love. I couldn’t do it without them.

Happy Birthday Coaster101! My wife and I love roller coasters. When we go on vacations, we try to make sure where ever we go, there’s an amusement park there. Here’s to many more years for you all!
Happy b-day, C101! Keep on coastin’!
Wow, where did the years go? Happy Birthday and keep up the great work!

Happy birthday to coaster 101. I’m gonna be honest, without Coaster101 I would’ve never been into coasters like I am today. This place is kind of like the building blocks of my trip into becoming a coaster enthusiast, so way to go on making it to 14 years!
Happy Birthday and many more to come
Thank you for sharing your story. I too in high school wished I had someone to discuss my RC interests with instead of just showing my mom what I designed on RCT and all the new rides being built. Happy birthday! Keep up the awesome work! Much love!
