As a sub-section of the fans, I think I'm safe in assuming that what we will miss the most is interacting with you.

The writing prompts that you've given us over the years has led to an immense amount of imagination, construction and enjoyment. Ultimately, I think most people want to be creators like you, even if though most of us don't have the energy or proclivity to create something unique ourselves. In lieu of that, many of us attach ourselves to something we like, such as theme parks. Your writing style and your imagination has influenced thousands of people. I think, at the end of the day, that's an amazing achievement for your project. Fake Theme Park has transcended reality. And, we thank you for it.

What ultimately will become of Murph Gantly? Do you think there could be a spinoff in the future, like Fraiser or, on the opposite end of the intellectual spectrum, Joey?

I bought the hat. I will wear it proudly until I lose it on the Matterhorn.

I'm not kidding... It'll happen. I've lost so many hats on that ride. And from that day forward your hat will be entombed in the historical structure that is Disneyland's first rollercoaster. They will become one.

Are you opposed to the idea of fans continuing the Fake Theme Park saga in their own fan fiction, or would you rather leave the universe as-is in case you ever want to pick it up in the future?

I just hope it finds someone else's head in those cases. A friend of mine recently sent me a photo where they thought they saw my prized Seattle Seahawks cap on the ground under Sierra Sidewinder at Knotts'. I'm not kidding when I say I've lost a lot of hats on rides. I'm truly notorious for it.
