Joel, shown wearing a Cedar Point shirt during a visit to the White House,
started flying at age 16. He presently is flying DC-9s for the world's fourth
largest airline. Previously Joel served as Chief Pilot for Aspen
Flying Club near Denver, Colorado, as Chief Flight Instructor of three large
flight training schools in Minnesota, as Assistant Professor in the Aviation Department of
Minnesota State University, and as a teacher of Aviation Management classes for Metropolitan State
University. Mr. Rogers is active in amateur radio, is a trained storm spotter, and is an instructor for the Skywarn severe weather network. In 2005, he was named Assistant Coordinator for Skywarn Operations for the National Weather Service Twin Cities office. Amateur Radio operators call him KC0NHX, his FCC "ham" callsign. Joel's hobbies include singing, playing handbells, and watching MST3K. He is an expert in the early history of the U.S. Space Program and has an extensive collection of historical NASA items.

Joel's brother Jeff, shown here in the front seat while having his first
coaster ride at age 3, resides in New Orleans with his coaster-loving
wife. He is a professional musician, specializing in classical guitar, and
is on the faculty at Southeastern Louisiana University. He earned his
Bachelor of Music degree in 2003 and Masters of Music in Guitar Performance
in 2004 from the Peabody Conservatory of Music. He
has played as a soloist and in ensembles in many venues.
Jeff's non-music hobbies include watching the Simpsons, juggling, and running a large coral reef aquarium. His reef hobby is nearly as important to him as his love of coasters! More details and pictures can be found on Jeff's homepage: JeffRogersGuitar.com |
Joel started this site as "Joel's Roller Coaster Gallery" in 1999. In 2000, Jeff and Joel teamed up to create CoasterGallery.com. Joel does most of the operation of the site, but Jeff contributes some pictures. Although they live thousands of miles apart, their lives involve LOTS of travel which means lots of coasters!

Can I use your pictures on my website? (top)
Image Use Policy:
My pictures are great for desk-top wallpaper or screen savers. Go right
ahead! You can print out my pictures for your personal viewing pleasure.
If you have a high-quality, non-commercial website and would like to use some of my photography, you can request use of a limited number of my pictures. First, you must request my permission and send me your website's address for inspection. If I grant permission, you can not crop, resize, or otherwise alter the photos. You cannot remove my copyright notice from them. You cannot link directly to my server, but must save the pictures elsewhere. I also require that you put a link to CoasterGallery.com next to every one of my pictures. Permission can be revoked at any time.
I take Copyright infringement very seriously. In the past I have taken legal action against offenders, and I will continue do so in the future.
I do not have Model Releases from most riders, so if faces are recognizable in the picture, I might not be able to sell the picture. Obtaining a Property Release is required before commercial use of my pictures.
All commercial use of my photographs is strictly forbidden without my prior written permission. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: using these photos on any commercial website, selling reproductions of these photos in any form or using these photos in any book, magazine, newsletter, calendar, advertisement, or brochure.
