2008 Amusement Park Souvenir Cups
In a move that always makes me chuckle when I do it, I’ve updated the Souvenir Cup special feature. Yeah, it started as a tongue-in-cheek bit of silliness and still isn’t meant to be taken too seriously, but I stick with it. If I’m going to get these damn cups, I might as well put them to good use, right? Give it a look if you appreciate things like that.
For those of you that don’t, you’re probably thinking, “What the hell!? I mean, didn’t this guy just visit something stupid like 25 parks and all we get is pictures of those dumb overpriced cups?”
Well, you’re right. I suck.
Actually I don’t suck. I rock…and right now I’m rocking hard. I’m sure you remember how I keep mentioning I want to give coasterimage.com a makeover after this season. Turns out I started messing around and before I knew it, things were moving right along. I found myself at a crossroads - keep plugging this out and begin future-proofing the site or lay off and do regular updates and then have to do them all over again when I change the site.
I chose the former.
So while it seems like not much has happened for the past 11 days, a lot actually has. In fact, I hope to have at the very least a preview of the new photo gallery up sooner than later. The gallery is the bulk of the site. If I get that, I can continue doing updates and work around it and have the whole site done before I know - essentially working both ends at the same time. That means we all win.
And speaking of all winning, the new gallery (as it stands - nothing is set in stone) features higher resolution photos (good for you) and a format that’s roughly 10 times easier for me to update (good for me - and you). This means bigger, better photo updates coming faster than ever.
So put on your patience hat for a little longer and before you know it, we’ll not only start rolling out the new photo gallery (and new site over the months following), but also the 23 parks worth of media that I still have to put online.
We have a deal? Good.
