Writer travels across "America's Coaster Belt"

From the piece:

As an amusement parks blogger, I have visited most of the big theme parks in Southern California and central Florida, but my roller-coaster résumé was a little thin when it came to the parks in between. So last summer my wife, Nancy, our 11-year-old daughter, Hannah, and I climbed aboard more than 70 coasters in 10 days at theme parks in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

"I fell in love with Knoebels as soon as we arrived at the park, built in 1926 in a remote wooded campground, declaring I'd found my final resting place. It was by far my favorite park of this trip."

There's just *something* I like about this guy... ;)

Yeah, it's nice to see a mainstream journalist who 'gets' classic amusement parks.
