National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, building a museum for the preservation of our incredible #rollercoaster and #amusementpark history!

A love of coasters connects all of us.

Don’t ever lose sight of that. ❤️ 🎢

@kbrewFL @bobbysabi Not the tweet we were expecting to like on Memorial Day Weekend ����

@bobbysabi Have you checked out our FAQ or annual report? They answer a lot of these types of questions about us: https://t.co/888QjSVYGz

Or if reading isn’t your thing, watch this video from @zooderloopers which goes in-depth on our challenges and future: https://t.co/D1kBZX2TGM

@bobbysabi Might need a new Dippin Dots guy…don’t believe everything you see on Reddit!

We have two bathrooms, along with a 20,000 sq. ft. facility that’s been built in segments as funds allow.

With the corkscrew complete, our next project is interior electrical, which is around $225k.

@bobbysabi Plus we’re totally dependent on donations as we didn’t start with an endowment. Might we see you at our next construction preview event? https://t.co/MweIrfIyXN

@bobbysabi Sorry we’re so far away but when you get the land donated under you (and the building built too) it’s hard to say no. We’re still only about an hour from Wonderland in Amarillo with several “bucket list” credits.

TIL: B&M has their own, branded shipping boxes. What would you want to see them deliver to your house in one?

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@EPFan68000 Spare parts!

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@TharinWhite That’s gonna be a big box…

@kbrewFL Welcome to Texas! It can swing 50+ degrees some days.

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@kbrewFL Thanks for stopping by and checking us out! Looking forward to hopefully seeing you again sometime soon!

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

Thanks to the 65 of you that came out to see our progress in-person after @aceonlineorg Spring Con…our biggest event EVER! (Did you get enough pizza?!?)

Join us in July for our next construction preview event - all are welcome!

@clebyherris @kbrewFL Depends on our fundraising efforts. We’re entirely dependent on donors as we didn’t have an endowment to start.

We do host several construction preview events throughout the year though so people can see our efforts in person.

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@w0nderdawg Not sure, but we can think of just three times it was widely reported.

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

27 years ago today, the world of roller coasters, aviary and male fashion models collided (literally)...and our lives were never quite the same.

@KBobTech @kbrewFL If you have a few acres you’re willing to donate and the funds to cover the labor to put a building up on it, let’s chat.

It might be a pilgrimage but we have a great group next door that knows how to handle large coaster cars and low humidity to preserve everything.

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@TheThrillDude @kbrewFL That’s the dream! But we gotta finish our construction first before we start looking at potential credit opportunities.

[National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives @coastermuseum]

@clebyherris @kbrewFL We have several construction preview events scheduled throughout the year so you can see our progress for yourself! https://t.co/MweIrfIyXN

@kbrewFL So after it was carefully sliced out the night it closed, it was put (intact) on a flatbed and shipped to Plainview for storage (thanks to Larson International) for eventual display.

This video shows how we squeezed it in with just inches to spare: https://t.co/5yppbmkhTZ
