Things I have to say about Westcoaster… 

Guys… this site has existed since time immemorial.  We were part of the original group of theme park websites.  Many have come and gone since we bothered to take pictures of rides and construction projects to share with all of your filthy unwashed faces.  Some still remain… some are forgotten… and yet a few others are ignored because they think Cannibal The Musical isn’t the best movie of all time.  Idiots. 

But sincerely… we do this not only because we love it, because we do love the parks.  We do it to share our own weird love of the theme parks and events with all of you.  Albert has taken up the mantle of writing for the site while I work on other writing projects that need my time.  He’s been a friggin’ champion of all champions.  (Amazing, an idiot such as me gets paid to do this for a living… dreams do come true, goons.)  Don’t worry… I’m missing writing updates for your faces… that will come back sooner than any of you want to.  

But I need to really, honestly, truly give so much credit to Albert’s amazing work.  Not just as a photographer, but as a writer and as a generally amazing human being and friend.  There was a time when I didn’t know whether or not Westcoaster would continue.  My life and schedule was becoming a major burden and I just ran out of available time to worry about anything but life and work.  Albert, who is in his own right an incredibly busy human, agreed to take up the task of giving you all updates and words to read.  If you haven’t met him, you’ve missed out.  If you have, you know what I mean.  He is one of the best people you could ever hope to know.  And it’s only because of his generosity of time that you all benefit and have updates to read now.  He’s kept my stupid dream alive and I owe him more churros and beer than any of you will ever pony up and pay for… but seriously, help a guy out, I don’t wanna go broke like this.  

So here we are… a year after a relaunch.  My own hope is to continue this ridiculous experiment as long as any of you want to read it.  So thank all of you who come back and who came back after a long downtime… who cared, to wanted more from our stupid brains.  Thank you all so much.  You make all of the effort so worth it!  Here's to another 17 years of annoying your stupid faces!!  GOO BAH!
