Hello, ya'll. Ryan here. Been visiting the site for well over a year now, but recently joined so I could start weighing in on all the interesting topics discussed here. Can't remember what year I visited SDC first, but it had to have been in the mid-80's. Unfortunately, I didn't make it back until about six years ago, but I quickly fell in love with the park all over again and my wife and I have been going back every year since. Live near St. Louis so I'm not terribly far away, but not quite close enough to visit several times a year. Usually head down at some point during the Harvest Festival as it's our favorite time of year and really seems to accentuate SDC's intoxicating charm. Really hoping to get back down around Christmas as we've never experienced SDC at that time of year. And we love Christmas.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
