Mike
Collins- Mike is a television producer in the Washington, DC area. But secretly, he wishes he was a Disney Imagineer. Mike has produced TV shows at parks like Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Paramount's Kings Dominion, Six Flags Over Georgia and others. Mike has worked in radio and TV since 1993 and is really excited to combine his two hobbies - theme parks and broadcasting.

Flava- Flava is the most critical of the CoasterRadio.com crew. Along with his love of thrill rides, Flava pays attention to the smallest details, namely a theme park's aesthetic appeal. His favorites are Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Islands of Adventure and Disney's Animal Kingdom. When he's not evaluating parks, Flava works as an Associate Producer at a television station in Washington, DC. Flava also produces and hosts a weekly music video show. He enjoys music, eating out and movies.

Mario Williams- Mario identifies a trip to
theme parks as a planned mission, not a day to “play it by
ear.” He
likes to strategically plan out his time at the park and
maximize the amount of time he can ride all of the coasters
during a visit. He
finds the shows and long meals in park restaurants a waste
of his time. Mario
appreciates a park that incorporates good themeing into its
rides and events - making
the trip into an experience, not a visit. When
Mario isn't offering Flava a Dramamine or an Advil pill at
the park, he works as a marketing manager for a software
company in
- Favorite Theme Park - Six Flags Over Texas-Dallas
- Favorite Roller Coaster - Medusa (GADV)
Greg K
Greg K. is excited about joining the crew of CoasterRadio.com. Since Greg was a little kid, he has been on a quest to find the ultimate coaster. Greg will be a great addition to the show with his deep insights and opinions. He has also been known to be sarcastic with the park staff after experiencing "cheap thrills" such as Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls at Islands of Adventure. Greg works in Fairfax, VA for an event management company but in his spare time plans which coasters he will tackle during the summer (after getting permission from his wife).
- Favorite Theme Park - Islands of Adventure

E.B.
You'll find E.B. at a petting zoo holding a baby raccoon before you'll find him waiting in line for two hours - no matter how exciting the ride is. The cynic of the group, E.B. doesn't expect much from your average, poorly maintained, over-crowded theme park. E.B. isn't satisfied with an "okay" park experience. He's looking for the best fun vs. dollars vs. time ratio. It doesn't matter whether it's an adrenaline rush, a good theme, or funky scenery that keeps E.B. smiling, as long as he has a good time. The easy-going outdoors-y type, E.B. is the one who'll skip the new gimmick-driven rides and go for the proven classics when he's at a park.
- Favorite Theme Park - Dinosaur Land
- Favorite Roller Coaster - Toboggan
