What
is your Privacy Policy?
We
collect statistical information such as what pages you're
visiting in order for us to provide targeted and
interesting content. Information such as your name and
Email address is surrendered only voluntarily when you
fill in a form on the site, such as Your Reviews.
Information is never sold on or used for any untoward
reason.
How
come Loggers Leap has the same rating as The Flume?
You
shouldn't use our ratings to compare rides head-to-head,
as they rate each ride according to their criteria at
their individual park. Read more about our ratings here.
Who
do you think you are telling me [ride] is bad?
It's
called critique. Our reviews are comprehensive enough that
you can form your own opinion based on the facts and
argument we provide. Much like people review films, cars
and food, we review roller coasters. If you disagree, we
give you the opportunity to add your own review here.
Can
you add my link, please?
Well,
as you asked so nicely. Please make sure that your site is
of a high quality, relevant and devoid of dead links and
under construction pages. Read our guidelines on the Links
page, then fill in the form.
Can
I use your photos on my website?
You
must get in touch with us before using our content. We are
getting increasingly tired of having content stolen with
little or no credit. We will name and shame sites that
steal our content and contact their providers. If you do
use our photos, and we give you the OK, you must credit
the photo to Coaster Kingdom with a return link, and keep
the watermark intact.
Do
you respect park policies?
In
the rare circumstance we take onride photography, we will
always get permission from a supervisor, and only after we
have ridden and know what forces we can expect on the
ride. We always make sure camera equipment is secure.
On
dark rides, we will not use the flash as a courtesy. If
rules state that you cannot take photography, we will
respect this.
Photos
are always taken from publicly accessible areas.
Information
on Coaster Kingdom is given in best interests, and is factual and
correct to the best of our knowledge.
All content is
copyright. No material from this site cannot be used without the
explicit written consent of Coaster Kingdom.
Opinions
expressed on our discussion lists and reader feedback pages are of
the respective authors, and not of Coaster Kingdom.
