I didn’t know how excited I was for this assignment until I saw Aftershock.

The roller coaster loomed over Silverwood Theme Park, and as my friend, Meghan Varner, and I were driving up to the park, I realized I was practically giddy, the butterflies in my stomach fluttering with a mix of nerves and anticipation.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Assignment? You went to Silverwood for work?”

Yes. Yes, I did. Perks of being an entertainment writer.

I’ve lived in the Inland Northwest for nine years now, yet, for no reason in particular, I’ve never made it out to Silverwood/Azaria Podplesky, SR. More here.
