A Hiatus? Already? (Early Spring Content Plans)

This is basically a placeholder post. I had a nice rhythm of putting a post up every Saturday morning for the first month of this blog's existence. I have done nothing to promote or link it to this point, so to my knowledge, nobody has actually read it yet, but just on the off chance that somebody stumbled here, and on the even-more-off chance that they enjoyed the content, I just wanted to explain that there won't be posts for a little while.

That rhythm was basically so that I could get some content down as a groundwork. Think of it like a pilot episode for the blog. I was afraid of making just a single post, then getting bored, and not keeping up with it; my hope is that with this initial "investment," I will be more consistent once coaster season arrives. However, I have never really taken photos at parks before, and so there isn't really anything else useful or interesting that I could post at the moment.





In April, if I make it to Kings Island per my last report, expect a trip report and a ride review for Orion. If I get enough good footage, I may make a separate post just for photo/video content; if I am feeling particularly adventurous, I may also do a ride review of another Kings Island coaster.

In May, if I make it to Cedar Point, expect a trip report and at least one ride review to follow. I will almost certainly go to opening weekend at Michigan's Adventure, and will write up to three reviews - Shivering Timbers (the park's headline coaster), Thunderhawk (supposedly one of the better Vekoma SLCs, and will be my first), and Wolverine Wildcat (if it differs from my expectations, for better or for worse).

I will almost certainly be making Monday day-trips to those three parks in June, likely with a trip report or ride review the following Saturday. Even so, the blog will still be slow.

Enter July.

I am planning a coaster trip in July, and am just working out how substantial it will be. This will provide fertile writing ground, as the largest version of the trip would have me picking up as many as 50 credits, literally doubling my count and making #100 a possibility this season. Depending on how many reports, photo albums, and reviews I come up with, I may start posting twice weekly.

August will be a slow month for rides, but not for content (per above). This brings us to the next offseason, which we will take as it comes.

If you have found your way here, enjoy the "soft open" of the blog. See you in July!
