Joel, shown wearing a Cedar Point shirt during a visit to the White
House, started flying at age 16. He presently is flying Airbus A-330s for the world's
largest airline. His earlier assignments were to the A-319, A-320, A-321, DC-9 and Boeing 727. 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

University. Mr. Rogers is active in amateur radio, is a trained storm spotter, and served several years as Assistant Coordinator for Skywarn Operations for the National Weather Service Twin Cities office in Minnesota. Amateur Radio operators call him KC0NHX, his FCC "ham" callsign. Joel's hobbies include playing carillons, sailing, and driving his Tesla Model S and Model X. He is an expert in the early history of the U.S. Space Program and has an extensive collection of historical NASA items. He also enjoys introducing his two young daughters to roller coasters!

Joel's brother Jeff, shown here in the front seat while having his first
coaster ride at age 3, resides in Florida with his coaster-loving
wife and young sons. He is a professional musician, specializing in classical guitar. He previously was 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. |
Joel started this site as "Joel's Roller Coaster Gallery" in 1999. In 2000, Jeff and Joel teamed up to create CoasterGallery.com. Their goal is to document all permanently installed roller coasters they can find. 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!
Joel Life List: I have been on over 900 coasters. That may seem like a big number, but I am being very conservative on how I add up my
Life List. If a coaster is relocated and I ride it again, I don't count it a second time. If a ride is dueling or racing, I still count it a just one ride.
Jeff Life List: I just rode my 400th coaster.

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 the 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 may required before commercial use of my pictures, but will most likely not be required for editorial use.
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.
