What does the future hold?
In the next few months, Roller-Coaster.com.au turns three years old. With it come some changes - probably among the biggest in the five years since Total Thrills launched.
A few key points about what the future will entail:
- Roller-Coaster.com.au will be changing directions. No, we’re not turning into a field hockey, model trains or Klingon fansite. It’ll still be theme parks, but in a different way. Yes, we’ll still be bringing nothing but top-notch reporting and quality photographs.
- The changes will warrant a new design. I’m very happy with the current design for Roller-Coaster.com.au, it works quite well and with the many changes to the articles system over the past year I think that graphically we display the best theme park news on the Internet. The change isn’t about limitations of the current design, it’s to reflect the direction change.
- The scope of the site will be expanding. The strengths of Roller-Coaster.com.au currently lie in our reportage. Statistically, people visit our site for the news and construction updates. Construction updates have been difficult for a while because it’s hard for me to find time to visit the parks (most updates in the past year or so attributed to me have been taken on my way down the coast for a surf), but whenever possible I do publish them because they are a huge draw. So with that said, we will still maintain our focus on breaking Australian theme park news. It’s the rest that may (or may not…) change! Expect everything that is good and much, much more. This also means that certain things will be removed as they’ve been deemed clutter and unpopular.
Sometimes things just click. Ideas that come to fruition exactly how they’ve been planned. That’s how I feel about the future here.
