Hey /r/rollercoasters! I created /u/RollerCoasterDataBot, a bot that is similar to /u/roboragi. Although it is not running here yet, I am looking for input from the community about the bot. The way it works is that when a user writes a comment in a certain format, the bot will respond with more information about the coaster. For instance, if the comment is:

{Maverick}

The bot will respond with:

Maverick (RCDB Info)

Cedar Point (Sandusky, Ohio, USA)

^{Status: Operating | Manufacturer: Intamin Amusement Rides | Model: Blitz Coaster / Custom}

---

^{I am a bot. beep boop}

^{Creator | Source}

Of course, multiple parks can have coasters with the same name, so the park can be specified as well:

{Goliath @ Six Flags Great America}

I asked the mods about the bot, and they wanted to see what the community thought. How would you feel if this bot lived here? If you want to try out the bot, it is active on the Sandbox Thread.

Note that the bot is kinda stingy in terms of spelling and syntax. The bot checks for queries about once per minute, but there may be some extra delay in the response due to the bot's lack of karma. You can check out the RollerCoasterDataBot wiki for more detail on what is considered to be a valid query.

What do you think?
