This thing that I never knew existed had such a profound impact on me that I just have to say thank you.
I have a unique connection to theme parks: my mother had me when she was very young, and was one of two children to a single mother herself.
My grandmother, mother, and uncle worked at Busch Gardens and I spent many many days being shuffled from a wax candle shop, to an old western photography shop, to a traditional Italian restaurant’s break room as a child. Coloring books and (eventually) gameboy in tow. It was no skin off my back, because after one of their shifts ended we got to go “play” for a while. Looking back it is kind of like any kid’s dream, but was just normal and something I didn’t think much of at the time.
Probably is something that couldn’t happen today (this all took place in the early 90’s), and I’m starting to lose sight of what I was initially trying to say but it’s essentially; looking through your gigantic catalogue of content stirred up some long-forgotten memories of a simpler, happier time all while being a treat to consume as an adult due to the nature of your work. So thanks, nice to meet your content, and sucks to see you go just as I walked in. Best of luck!
Have you ever been to Busch Gardens, Williamsburg? If so, how did you like it? I’ve been to many parks and that one stands out as the best overall experience (obviously biased though).
