One of the founders and Editor In-Chief of Park Journey, I have been blogging about theme parks since 2002 for various websites.
I’m excited to bring more coverage of Southern California parks to Thrillgeek while still continuing the fun we have on our Park Journey social media (which is decidedly different than Thrillgeek). 🙂
