The European Coaster Club is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the enjoyment of riding roller coasters, as well as visiting amusement and theme parks. The Club was formed in 1996 and the First Drop magazine dates back to 1988. We have over 2,000 members from around Europe and the world, including corporate members that represent almost every major theme park operator and roller-coaster manufacturer. The Club was founded by Justin Garvanovic, and although UK-based, is run by a World-wide team.
