golfprowj, welcome------Swoosh is not an SDC employee perse. He writes (I think or maybe an editor) for a semi-popular publication in the area. I think it is called " Midwest Info Guide" I have never met (personally) Swoosh. However he does post several pics on this forum. Pics of parks he has visited (which have been several). He has a vast knowledge of theme/amusement parks, rides, ride manufacturers, and has several insiders that keep him updated. He by himself is a wealth of knowledge in the amusement industry, and from his posts, I would guess a very nice guy also.
