Northwest Region (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, CA

Hello everyone I'm John Niehaus one of the assistant reps in the Northwest Region. I thought perhaps to gauge interest in these discussion forums on the new website, I would start one for introductions. If you are a member of this region (even if you don't live in the region), feel free to introduce yourself with your name, location, and home park and/or favorite rollercoaster. This forum again is just to get to know members better and if you would like to discuss Northwest parks or coaster news in depth let's start separate topic threads for those discussions. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

So I'll go first, 

I moved to Seattle from Cincinnati Ohio. Technically my home park was Stricker's Grove but always claimed Kings Island. Now my home park is Wild Waves soon to become Remlinger Farms and the Washington State Fair since we all know Wild Waves is closing at the end of the 2026 season 😢

My favorite rollercoaster is I-305 (Pantherian) at Kings Dominion.

Hi everyone, I'm Christian Poppe, and I'm living in Seattle, which makes Wild Waves my home park, although growing up, I went to Silverwood pretty often.  Since becoming an enthusiast, and really starting to seek out the coasters, I would rate the Wood Coaster up at PNE Playland in Vancouver, B.C. as the as the best coaster in the Northwest region.  PNE Playland as a whole is also an amazing and underrated little amusement park in my opinion . 

Overall, I currently rank Iron Gwazi as my number 1.

I didn't know that this forum existed until I saw the email notification (5 days later it seems... I should probably read through my emails more frequently lol), but I'll try to check in more frequently.  Admittedly, I am more active in the Discord server.  You can find me there under the username "TheArcaneWhisper".
