Winner, Service Journalism: Independent, Online Journalism Awards 2001. A guide to safety at amusment parks across the U.S. The judges said: Relying on a community of users and the drive of a single journalist working in his spare time, this site offers theme park enthusiasts hard information about safety – information that the government probably should provide, but doesn’t. Accidents are reported simply and factually, and the site makes a clear distinction between rumor and confirmed reports – especially important when users are the reporters. The judges called it “morbidly fascinating? and really useful.”
