The state of Twisted Rails - October 29, 2004
This website, from Day 1, was intended by me to be a personal website of my hobbies, which the largest at the time involved amusement parks. I was extremely committed to this website and had the time for such a commitment back when I started. Today I do not have the free time to do what I once did and my interests have somewhat shifted over the last two years. While I still visit parks I have done so less frequently as of late. I only hold a Six Flags season pass at the moment, and even though I moved to Valencia almost a year ago I have only visited Magic Mountain a few times. I still have a season pass parking booklet for this year with four tickets left!

As for what will happen to this website, I plan to leave it up. Over the next few months it may change. I've thought about cutting down a lot of the old content I have here and create "highlight" pages for each of the large contruction projects I documented. The videos unfortunately are gone. I can no longer host them where I was and I cannot spend the large amounts of money required to host them anywhere else. New content may spring up occasionally but with no regular frequency, and some content may shift this site away from being roller coaster centric but I haven't finalized any decisions yet. The only solid decision I've made is that there will be changes coming. For now, I hope you enjoy what is still available here and I look forward to what the future has in store.
