Hey there. I'm Alex, and I'm a longtime lurker (since 2001) but a first time poster.
I've been a theme park fan since my first trip to my home park, California's Great America, back in 1997. A trip to Disneyland in 1998 and to Walt Disney World in 2000 helped broaden my horizons, and since then I've been loving theme parks, roller coasters, and everything in between.
I live in lovely Northern California, and I work in the local mall. Nothing terribly exciting, but hey... discount! Shopping happens to be one of my favorite interests, alongside writing, reading, and browsing around the interwebs. I'm an architecture buff, so theme parks manage to satisfy two of my interests: coasters, and buildings. An odd juxtaposition? Maybe. But fun nonetheless.
So there I am. I'm glad to be here, and I look forward to chatting with all of you.
