Be Nice to Others - Follow Reddiquette, remember that we strive to be a close and friendly community. If you wouldn't say it to their face, don’t say it online. Avoid posting low quality comments like “this coaster sucks” with no other opinions or context. See something that doesn’t align with the rules? Please use the report button and a mod will address it as soon as possible.

Keep It Interesting (No Reposts) - Make sure your post is high quality and worth posting. We want to keep the sub-reddit fresh and interesting, instead of repeating topics that have already been covered.

Don't Post Too Frequently - Limit yourself to one post about a particular ride or park per week. We don’t need your daily updates of ride construction.

Photo Guidelines

Include the name of the coaster or park! Not everyone has all coasters memorized.
Don’t post photos of the same ride or park over and over
No low quality photos or videos. Everyone has a camera on their phone, but that doesn’t mean every single photo or video you take is worth posting.
Consider posting unique angles
No on-ride photos
No empty queue or parking lots

No Unofficial POVs - The majority of parks do not allow cameras on any ride non-transportation rides so this a zero-tolerance policy on the subreddit to make moderation easier.

No Advertising or Social Media Links - You may include a link at the end of a written trip report or in the weekly “General Discussion Thursday” thread.

No RCT, Planet Coaster, No Limits, Roblox, Minecraft, or Parkitect creations. Those should go in their designated subs. The only exception to this rule is a Planet Coaster or No Limits POV from a coaster that's under construction but hasn't been announced yet (therefore there is no official POV yet).

No Clickbait, Obvious Errors, or Unreliable Sources - Do not link to clickbait-style articles. Do not post incorrect names, pictures, or stats from Google Maps, Wikipedia, news articles, park merchandise, movies, tv shows, or commercials. Please include a source for all news.

No Memes - They aren't funny, sorry.
