How much does it cost?
The annual cost is $20. You can pay by credit card or check.

What do I get for $20?
Your annual membership fee will get you these perks:

• Access to the premium functions of CoasterBuzz. As a club member, you'll enjoy absolutely zero advertisements (aside from promotional and public service announcements on the home page). No pop-ups, no banners, just all the content you can stand. It also includes the track record function and a totally customized home page with just the information you want, plus a bookmark list stored on the site. Even better, you can change the color scheme of CoasterBuzz to whatever you like in one single click! Get more information on our club site function page. Your membership helps keep the site alive and kicking, and removes its dependence on advertising.
• Upload, comment on and rate files at CoasterBuzz Games, also ad-free. 
• A CoasterBuzz Club membership card.
• Discounted admission to park events held for general enthusiast clubs.
• Park discounts, where offered to enthusiast clubs or CoasterBuzz Club members.
• Club-sponsored events.

What do I get for a corporate membership?
Several types of corporate memberships are available. Please download the form below for more information.

Do I get any magazines or newsletters?
No. After looking carefully at that option, we decided that print magazines and newsletters create the majority of overhead in running a club. To keep the annual membership fee reasonable, we will not likely produce any print publications. Generally speaking, the information that appears on CoasterBuzz is more immediate and current, and not limited to what the staff can produce.

What events are planned?
Our second annual convention was at Six Flags Great America near Chicago in 2003. We will return to Paramount's Kings Island for BeastBuzz 2004, our third year at PKI! Also, as members we can attend general enthusiast events like CoasterMania at Cedar Point. We're also looking for members that have strong ties to their local parks, perhaps to organize events there. Any member who can help facilitate a West Coast event in particular would be appreciated.

What perks can I expect?
These will vary by park, and will likely grow in number as the club ages. We hope to foster a club culture that isn't one of expectations (I'm in the club and deserve...), but one that graciously accepts the offerings from the parks and people that fuel our obsession.

What else do I need to know?
CoasterBuzz Club has a strict code of conduct for its members and attendees of its events. If a park takes any action against you for any kind of safety issue, you will be removed from the club without refund and banned from all future CoasterBuzz Club events. This is a zero-tolerance policy and there are no second chances. CoasterBuzz reserves the right to add or remove site features at any time.

Where does the $20 go?
A little more than half goes to support the CoasterBuzz site. As advertising is no longer a viable way to pay for expenses, this offers members an opportunity to help out. It's almost an "honor system" of helping defray the cost of the site. The rest goes to getting your membership card printed, mailing it and dealing with the administrative costs of setting up events.

Who runs the club?
The club is operated by POP World Media, LLC, the company that produces CoasterBuzz.

Are there club officers? How can I get more involved?
The club will not have elected officials, but we will accept help in various regions. If you have a good relationship with a particular park, we appreciate your volunteer work in organizing an event for the club.

How much will it cost to renew my membership?
We hope to keep costs at $20, period. Cost seems to be one of the biggest barriers in getting people to join a club. We don't want that! You can renew any time to have another year added to your membership and a new membership card issued. Use the options below to renew. They're the same as those for first-time members.
