They're not just fun, but important to capture and remember the stories behind these parks. Too easy to forget over time where they came from and who made it happen.

Backblaze. Solid. And you always want an off-site backup.

Fired up the cassette deck with a show tape from Carowinds Yogi show I did in '87.
I learned to drive on the family car...a 1968 Plymouth GTX 440. Pure muscle and awesomeness. Here's the original bill of sale, $3761.97. My dad wouldn't budge on a $20 price difference, so he started driving away. Sales dude pleaded to split it $10. Agreed.
Another day of podcast work. And Carowinds map gazing...
Hmm…I keep flipping it over…then under…can't quite see it.

Everything there is to know about the park! Looking forward to hearing the conversation.

Enjoying my 1973 Carowinds map mousepad. Those old maps are awesome. Several park options available at RivershorePress.com.

If looking for the perfect holiday gift for the #KingsIsland fan on your shopping list, Kings Island A Photographic Journey and Kings Island A Ride Through Time are books that make for a fantastic gift idea. Both available at stores at #WinterFest and the park’s online store.
My niece's husband is a Navy fighter pilot, headed to Top Gun in a couple months as an instructor. Got to spend some time on his carrier. Always loved this stuff since I was pretty young.
Couple quick day trips to DC this summer, including an amazing concert at the Kennedy Center.
Loving my new SSL hardware for editing & mixing. Never thought I'd own anything from them! (They're known for their $200k recording consoles...).

Excited to read my copy of dear friend Rick Bastrup’s autobiography. You can read my interview with him on designing Kings Island’s Phantom Theater here: visitkingsisland.com/blog/2022/may/…
Great stories. Enjoy!

Can't wait to listen. Rick has so much to share and it was a thrill putting his book together.

Thanks @amusementtoday for sharing the news! Their owner and publisher Gary Slade graciously contributed the foreword to Adventures of a Theme Park Designer. amusementtoday.com/2023/08/theme-…
So much fun packing Rick's stories into this book!
