      <title>With Realscreen West in Full Swing, YouTubers Keep on Keeping On</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Content Development, Instant Viewer Feedback And Detailed Demographics Raise The Stakes For Reality TV</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/05/2014 --  The all important Sizzle Reel, a time honored  video presentation format designed to pitch characters and concepts to television networks, may be going the way of the movieola, as so-called YouTubers continue to break the code for the immensely successful unscripted television genera.<br />
<br />
In Santa Monica this week, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Real Screen West" href="http://west.realscreen.com/2014/index/">Real Screen West</a> is the hot topic, as the West Coast&apos;s most important and valuable unscripted entertainment conference is in full swing. Reality TV Superstars including Cee Lo Green and Howie Mandel were among headliners on opening day of the event.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, everywhere else on Earth, YouTubers continue to democratize the unscripted entertainment industry through their online exploits and deep connection with  viewers on YouTube, the world&apos;s fourth most popular website. Virtually anyone can create and publish content on any topic. Reality Entertainment is no exception.<br />
<br />
Among  more successful, up-and-coming YouTubers is <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title=""CoasterDad" Will Pemble" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">"CoasterDad" Will Pemble</a>, the now-famous "World&apos;s Coolest Dad." Pemble built a roller coaster in the backyard for his kids, and documented the process on <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="his YouTube Channel" href="http://www.youtube.com/willpemble">his YouTube Channel</a> and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="website" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">website</a>. Through his videos, blog, and worldwide news coverage, The CoasterDad Project has been seen by millions. "Everyone I know personally loves The CoasterDad Project," says Pemble, "I had no idea so many people I never met would love it too."<br />
<br />
Pemble&apos;s rise to fame has been sudden, and he&apos;s using his newfound celebrity to teach science and math to kids. "When things started to take off,  I worked more on standardizing format and delivering content on a more professional schedule. That has paid off bigtime," stated Pemble. "How cool would it be to bring Physics, Family and Fun to Kids Everywhere through an actual TV Show!"<br />
<br />
"YouTube is an amazing way for reality talent to grow, develop, be discovered, and make the jump to television," says Ife Okwuldili, Vice President of Development at WAG TV, which produces shows for various U.S. and international broadcasters. "YouTubers like CoasterDad Will Pemble are building brands online, analysing performance, and honing character and storyline like never before. Improvements in analytics over the last year have taken even much more of the guesswork out of the process."<br />

      <title>Reality TV Tunes in to YouTube for Ideas, Characters, Content</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Reality TV Producers and Network Executives Cherry Pick Trending YouTubers For New Shows</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/04/2014 --  Everybody who&apos;s anybody in the Reality  TV Business is in Santa Monica, California this week, attending <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Real Screen West" href="http://west.realscreen.com/2014/index/">Real Screen West</a>,  a leading reality TV industry conference. In it&apos;s sixth year, the conference is expected to bring together over 1,000 reality television creators, producers and service providers along with network executives and buyers, essentially deciding what the reality television viewing public will be watching in the year to come.<br />
<br />
Or, perhaps these decisions have already been made by real people watching successful characters, or YouTubers, on the world&apos;s <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="fourth most popular website" href="https://siteanalytics.compete.com/youtube.com#.U43-EZRdWCp">fourth most popular website</a>.<br />
<br />
One such YouTuber is <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title=""CoasterDad" Will Pemble" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">"CoasterDad" Will Pemble</a>, the now-famous "World&apos;s Coolest Dad," who built a roller coaster in the backyard for his kids. Pemble documented the process on <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="his YouTube Channel" href="http://www.youtube.com/willpemble">his YouTube Channel</a> and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="website" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">website</a>. Through his videos, blog, and worldwide news coverage, The CoasterDad Project has been enjoyed by millions. "The success of CoasterDad is a thrill ride all it&apos;s own," says Pemble. "I made the videos and the website as professionally as I could, and I try to follow a format that keeps  viewers engaged. Basically, I try to do what I see on television."<br />
<br />
YouTubers, as they&apos;re called, not only have instant access to broadcast facilities, but are also able to see realtime analytics, including viewer demographics, geographics, as well as the viewership numbers. The combination of artistic freedom and scientific analysis of a video&apos;s performance gives the YouTuber nearly all the tools required to build a successful "show." It&apos;s no surprise that the Reality TV Industry has turned it&apos;s eye to up and coming YouTubers like Pemble for development of their next big hits. "It&apos;s incredible to think my project could turn into a TV show," says Pemble.<br />
<br />
"The digital space is a tool that we use to develop and test reality talent and concepts," says <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Eric Schotz" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0774967/">Eric Schotz</a>, President and CEO of LMNO Productions, a leading producer of reality television programming. "Our team at LMNO continually scours the web looking for raw talent, amazing stories, and ideas which allow us to be more nimble and efficient in our reality TV development process." Mr. Schotz further pointed out that while YouTube success may be one indicator of potential, it is by no means a sure-fire way of predicting a hit on TV. "Based on extensive research, views online do not automatically translate to ratings. At least not yet," said Schotz.<br />

      <title>"CoasterDad" Will Pemble Expands Science Education Program Beyond Roller Coasters</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Physics, Family and Fun Take Many New Forms As Parents and Kids Flock To CoasterDad</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/20/2014 --  What began as a father-son backyard project has grown into a worldwide  education and parenting phenomenon. The well known story of how Will Pemble created <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a> after his son asked him to build a backyard roller coaster, looks to be just the beginning of Pemble&apos;s journey into the world of "Physics, Family and Fun." The man named "An early favorite for father of the year," by Good Morning America&apos;s George Stephanopoulos, is  stepping up his already impressive game.<br />
<br />
With the release of his <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="latest video" href="http://youtu.be/2rxvtJtzwtE">latest video</a>  on YouTube, and the accompanying <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="blog post on the CoasterDad.com website" href="http://www.coasterdad.com/happy-memorial-day.html/">blog post on the CoasterDad.com website</a>, the now-famous Will Pemble has further established himself and The CoasterDad Project as a driving force in Project Based Learning, and Education Technology worldwide.<br />
<br />
Pemble&apos;s  YouTube video, entitled "<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Star Spangled Banner On Fire" href="http://youtu.be/2rxvtJtzwtE">Star Spangled Banner On Fire</a>," features "CoasterDad" Will Pemble playing Francis Scott Key&apos;s Star Spangled Banner on a keyboard  wired to his latest physics experiment. Pemble calls the device a SoundFire Tube. More commonly known as a Rubens Tube, the device combines hundreds of propane flames, and the sound waves generated by the keyboard, to demonstrate what standing waves actually look like. While Pemble&apos;s keyboard performance of the National Anthem may want for musical talent, his clever mix of patriotism, science, and fun make for a compelling educational experience.<br />

      <title>Entrepreneur Takes Reality TV Approach to Teaching Science &amp; Math</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">While many reality tv programs exploit weaknesses and unhealthy traits, CoasterDad.com Online Videos celebrate creativity and collaboration while teaching "Physics, Family, and Fun"</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/19/2014 --  Will Pemble&apos;s science education website <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> has gone viral. Pemble&apos;s <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="YouTube Channel" href="http://www.youtube.com/willpemble">YouTube Channel</a> and website chronicle the adventures of the now-famous backyard roller coaster builder Will Pemble, who designs and builds these privately owned amusement rides. While Pemble is the anchor, or host, of the show, the cast of characters varies from one episode to the next. Pemble&apos;s son, Lyle, an avid roller coaster fan and veritable encyclopedia of theme park trivia, contributes his expertise, leading site walks with other kids, and making design recommendations to his dad. "CoasterDad.com started when Lyle asked me to build a roller coaster in our back yard. I loved the challenge and the adventure of the project. Even more, I was amazed at the endless fascination kids had about the project. We turned our backyard into a worldwide physics classroom with kids lining up for learning," said Pemble about the genesis of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Seen online at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="www.CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">www.CoasterDad.com</a>, The CoasterDad Project provides entertaining and engaging episodes, with viewer counts growing steadily from week to week.<br />
<br />
Looking deeper, Pemble&apos;s creation has also struck a chord with proponents of #EdTech (Education Technology), and #PBL (Project Based Learning) organizations worldwide. As more and more education becomes available online, opportunities to apply those learnings in the real world are increasingly valuable to parents, teachers, and students.<br />

Top Teaching Team based in New York explains, "Students are naturally curious about their world. When they&apos;re able to engage with projects that interest them, the learning becomes so much more than a task.  It becomes a memorable experience!"<br />
<br />
Worldwide  attention from Good Morning America, LATimes.com, DailyNews.com, and countless other Internet and television media have more than validated Pemble&apos;s concept. "I never thought I&apos;d be a science teacher, especially on this scale. It&apos;s the most rewarding work I&apos;ve ever done," said Pemble.<br />

<br />
"<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a> appeals to Education Technology and Project Based Learning advocates because we&apos;ve made it easy and fun for kids to learn the physics of roller coasters. Those science and math skills transfer nicely to everyday life. We also appeal to reality tv audiences because building backyard roller coasters is just plain crazy. We have a lot of doing it, the videos show ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and that makes for great viewing," says Will Pemble.<br />
<br />
Following on the success of their <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Website" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">Website</a> and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Youtube Videos" href="http://www.youtube.com/willpemble">Youtube Videos</a>, Pemble and his son will visit theme parks in Southern California, and publish a video episode every day from March 31 through April 5, 2014. "We know not every kid can go to five theme parks in a week. So, we&apos;re going to do everything we can to take them with us through the videos," says Pemble.<br />

      <title>Backyard Roller Coaster Project Stays on Track</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Supporting Science and Math Education, CoasterDad.com Gains Popularity, Expands Project</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/27/2014 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a>, an organization that teaches kids math and science by building backyard roller coasters has its latest project well underway in Northern California. The company&apos;s latest backyard roller coaster is being built for the family of local business owner Jeff Jerge. "When my son found the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad videos online" href="http://www.youtube.com/willpemble">CoasterDad videos online</a>, he couldn&apos;t talk about anything else," said Mr. Jerge. "Abraham watched the videos over and over, and started drawing pictures what his roller coaster would look like. <br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad</a>. founder Will Pemble, along with his son Lyle, met with the Jerges and began to plan Abraham&apos;s backyard roller coaster. "We let the kids do planning. They bring amazing creativity and excitement to the project, and that excitement translates into passion for learning," said Pemble. "If there&apos;s nothing more than a few math problems between you and your own backyard roller coaster, you&apos;re going to do the math. Every time. That&apos;s the secret of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a>. We give kids good, immediate reasons for learning." <br />
<br />
"When Will asked Abraham to help figure out what materials we&apos;d need to build the coaster, I didn&apos;t think he&apos;d go for it. Math isn&apos;t his favorite subject at school. So, I was amazed to see him and Will doing multiplication and division problems for a full hour," said Abraham&apos;s mother Kim Jerge. "It was the first time Abraham used math for something he wanted, and he had fun doing it. It was a beautiful moment, and I can&apos;t thank Will enough."<br />
<br />
Abraham&apos;s Roller Coaster, as <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a> calls it, is taking shape in the Jerge&apos;s backyard. The ride will start in a custom treehouse, make several twists and turns, and then return to the treehouse at the completion of its 250 foot circuit. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">The CoasterDad Project</a> provides construction and design assistance, as well as taking time to teach the family and neighbors about the physics involved in backyard roller coasters. "Once the word is out that a roller coaster is going up in somebody&apos;s backyard, the kids come running. They bring questions and they want to understand it all. We&apos;re thrilled to stop what we&apos;re doing and teach the kids how it all goes together, and how it all works. It&apos;s a privilege to share this exciting work with the kids and we know the memories and learning will last a lifetime," says Pemble.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Making Reality TV Style Videos Of His Backyard Roller Coaster Projects, CoasterDad.com Founder Will Pemble Teaches Kids About "Physics, Family, and Fun"</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/21/2014 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a>, a website that promotes science and math education by building backyard roller coasters, is gaining popularity through online videos that document their projects and introduce key concepts related to backyard roller coaster construction. <br />
<br />
"We started doing the videos mostly to show distant friends and family our projects. Then, they started catching on," said Will Pemble, founder of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a>. "More and more, people are asking for help with backyard roller coaster project, and other backyard science ideas."  <br />
<br />
The newest project <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> has taken on is a backyard roller coaster attached to a treehouse. The starting point, or station, for the coaster will be built in a treehouse. From there, the ride will consist of roughly 200 feet of track and include exciting features like a helix turn and a pedal powered lift segment. "Backyard projects like this are all about scope creep," says Pemble. "I&apos;ll suggest a banked turn, and before you know it, we&apos;re designing a helix, a water feature, and on and on. Roller coasters fire the imagination, and we build on that. We engage kids in the physics, math, and project management, and when we&apos;re done, the lessons and memories we&apos;ve given to these families will last a lifetime."<br />
<br />
Unlike some reality television, the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> online videos are positive in nature, and celebrate creativity, collaboration, and the unusual. For many viewers who, for whatever reason, can&apos;t build their own backyard roller coasters, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> brings the experience to them online.

      <title>Crowdfunded Backyard Roller Coaster Project Thrills Kids, Educators</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The CoasterDad Project Is Bringing "Physics, Family, and Fun" To Kids</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/19/2014 --  With a $9,250 goal CoasterDad.com has launched a crowdfunding project on Indiegogo to support the construction of a Backyard Roller Coaster, to be awarded to a US family to be named later.<br />
<br />
The first of its kind the world, The CoasterDad Project is intended to teach parents and kids the value of "Physics, Family, and Fun" through the design and construction of backyard roller coasters. Lauded as an "Education Phenomenon for the whole family," the CoasterDad Project is gaining ground, garnering thousands of views on its youtube channel and website, and opening doors for kids, parents, and teachers everywhere. The idea was hatched by CoasterDad founder Will Pemble, who discovered the educational and community value of backyard roller coasters when he built one at his Orinda, California home. <br />
<br />
"Too many kids don&apos;t love science and math, and I&apos;d like to change that," says Pemble. "Over and over, I&apos;ve seen kids step up and do the math when there&apos;s a great experience on the other side. Backyard Roller Coasters give kids a reason that&apos;s meaningful and immediate, and that&apos;s what motivates kids." <br />
<br />
The first step in accomplishing their goal is to raise funds to design and build the Backyard Roller Coaster. Slated for construction this summer the CoasterDad Project will be video recorded and made available for anyone to watch and learn from on the CoasterDad.com website.  Design drawings will then be made available exclusively through CoasterDad.com for individuals and businesses who want to build backyard roller coasters of their own.<br />
<br />
Pemble, an Internet Entrepreneur and Management Consultant said of his community oriented project, "The whole idea behind the concept was to provide engaging, challenging and exciting projects that fire the imagination and bring families together.  <br />

      <title>Entrepreneur to Give Away Backyard Roller Coaster for Science</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Indiegogo Campaign Raises Money For Educational Roller Coaster Project</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/17/2014 --  CoaserDad.com is the brainchild of Internet Entrepreneur and Management Consultant Will Pemble, who created the CoasterDad Project to support science education, community involvement, and family projects. In the fall of 2013, Mr. Pemble started building a backyard roller coaster at his home in Orinda, California. Throughout the project, friends and neighbors took an interest. Asking questions, making suggestions, and enjoying the excitement of such an unusual neighborhood event. Pemble quickly seized on the opportunity to challenge neighborhood kids with simple math and science questions about roller coaster and project related topics. "At the start, the kids and I had to figure out what materials we needed. That took us into and through a fair bit of arithmetic," said Pemble, "After that, we started figuring things like bank angles and acceleration, and so on. Roller coasters are a great source of physics questions." <br />
<br />
After experiencing the educational, community, and family bonding power of his backyard roller coaster, Will Pemble founded The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The CoasterDad Project" href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/backyard-roller-coaster-giveaway/">The CoasterDad Project</a>, a crowdfunding campaign raising money to give away a backyard roller coaster to a family somewhere in the United States.  The campaign information page, seen at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/backyard-roller-coaster-giveaway/" href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/backyard-roller-coaster-giveaway/">http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/backyard-roller-coaster-giveaway/</a> states, "The CoasterDad Project wants to share the gifts of science, collaboration, creativity, and connection with people, kids and families everywhere. We&apos;re starting right here, right now, with you. This summer, we&apos;ll select a family somewhere in the United States, and build them their very own, custom backyard roller coaster."<br />
<br />
"It&apos;s not your everyday project," says Pemble, "and that&apos;s the whole point. Kids learn when they&apos;re engaged and excited. It&apos;s our job to engage and excite them. Math and science are incredibly cool, but only when it&apos;s applied to incredibly cool things. Roller coasters, especially ones they can build themselves, are just the kind of cool we need to teach math and science to our kids." <br />

      <title>Dad Builds Backyard Roller Coaster, Supports Science Education</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">What started out as a weekend family project grew into a neighborhood event, then a community conversation, and now an online science education sensation.</p><p>Orinda, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/13/2014 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> motivates kids to learn science and math through the challenge and excitement of building backyard roller coasters. <br />
<br />
When Will Pemble&apos;s kids asked him to build a roller coaster in the backyard, he did something unheard of. He said yes. That was the beginning of an organization now known as <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a>. "It all started started because I like to say yes to my kids. They&apos;ve got great ideas, and great questions," said Pemble. "So, instead of telling them all the reasons not to do something unique, we built it."<br />
<br />
Once the roller coaster started to take shape, the Pemble&apos;s neighbors, especially the kids, got involved." A kids first question is always, &apos;When can I ride it," said Pemble?  "After we got that out of the way, the kids had more questions about how it was built, what made it work, why were some hills higher than others, how the cart would steer, and so on. Kids want to know everything about the coaster, and they&apos;re willing to listen, think, and learn because it&apos;s something they&apos;ve never seen in a backyard." Before long, Will Pemble was teaching physics, math, and science, to kids who thought they were playing. "If arithmetic is the core activity, not many kids will take an interest. But, if riding a roller coaster is the goal, and there&apos;s a little math between here and there, kids will step up, light up, and do the math. All of a sudden, there&apos;s a reason for it, and it means something," said Pemble. "The math lasts a lot longer than the coaster ride."<br />
<br />
Throughout the project, Mr. Pemble posted several YouTube videos, which he usually called "engineering updates." As the videos gained popularity online, the scope of the backyard roller coaster project grew. Viewers wrote in with suggestions and questions, and started asking for help and ideas. Pemble built the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> website to faciltate conversations with other roller coaster enthusiasts. "I created <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="CoasterDad.com" href="http://www.coasterdad.com">CoasterDad.com</a> to show that kids learn important things when those things are important to them," said Pemble, "I&apos;d like to make it easier for parents to say Yes to crazy ideas like this, because that&apos;s what makes it easier for kids to learn." <br />
