Happy New Year!

Welcome to CoasterWarriors.com AKA CW3 project.  It is exciting new year since I finally had times to rebuild all the framework and clean up the coding to produce quick result and add more features.   We are still behind on schedule with CW3 due to various reasons, no reason to spill the beans here.  But I’m open for feedback and suggestion as well.  Many of the things will be up and running in full gear before the end of the month.  Be sure to check our update weekly to see what’s being add/change/updated/removed…. It is located in our about section which will be kept in Blog Format and we will have more of the “Help” section as well after each features is revealed.

Let talk about the new feature and sections:

News Section:
We have our new news section, which is pretty much completed. There are few more features that I will be adding this month such as RSS feeds, ReTweet Feature, Images Gallery, Video Gallery that connect with the stories.  We have other ideas that we would like to add but that will happen in future date.

Park Section:
We have redesigned our Park Database but it is not finish since it is a big task with many features that I would like but I have narrowed it down to less features that I will reveal this month.   You will be able to post review, comment, and more on the park database.  And you will see the selected park with their twitter feeds show on the site which is a neat feature along with other features which will appear in a week or so.

Roller Coaster:
Our main attraction of Coaster Warriors.com!  Roller Coasters!  There quite bit of errors in our database due to configuration which the CW staff and I will go back to the database and fix up all the errors before we add any new data in our database.  But the neat feature that is available now is that you can submit your recent wait time on any of the roller coaster in our database and post your review on the database!

Rides Database:
More database? Yes!  We are loaded with data!  We have over 700 rides in our database! So I thought there are a lot of flat rides fans out there and would like to contribute or learn more about the different flat rides so we want to make this available to our fans.

Haunt Zone:
Another Database!  Yes!  I’m also a HUGE fan of haunted houses so we will have database for 3 different categories for Haunt Zones (Theme Park Halloween Events, Year-Round Haunted House, and “local haunted house”.  We will have exclusive details for several MEGA haunt “temple” such as HHN, HOS, and a few other famous haunted house.

Extra Section:
This is exciting section and it will be a surprise which I will not reveal at this time but it will be live on Feburary 1, 2010!

Video Section:
We have totally revamp the video section as a “Remix of YouTube/Yahoo Video Design”  and it works!  You now can post comment on the video!  And also this year we will be producing videos as well… ahem It is about time right?  I thought so.

Event Section:
Event Section will happen but it is last section of our priority list.  But we will include ACE, TPR, Coasterfusion, other coaster enthusiasts club and park main events in the Event Section and it will appear in the park database as well.

Store:
We will be opening our store in Spring 2010 where we will launch 5 new shirts designs and it will be available for you to buy.  The money that we earns will go back to CoasterWarriors.com funding and future expansion in the future date.

About Section:
It is revamped and store with some information that you would like to know more about CoasterWarriors and staff and so forth.

That was a lot of text… let get busy!  Enjoy and see the new features adding on CoasterWarriors.com throughout this month!

As always,

I am always open for feedback and suggestion!

Happy New Year!
