| Suppliers of Rides |
|
It is somewhat perilous to attempt to acknowledge all those who provided ride documentation because its a certainty that some will be omitted from the list. Nevertheless, I want to thank those whose names appear below. To those who contributed and whose names do not appear, I offer my apologies as well as my thanks. |
|
First, I want to recognize Carol Marchion for her outstanding contributions to the ride portfolio and for her exemplary support of my ride leading and documentation gathering over the years. Carol has a special knack for and interest in developing new rides. I'd estimate that she has provided over 15% of the rides that appear on the website.
