End of the road for ASOG (For now)

Over the year or so I have been writing for ASOG, I have noticed that the articles that are related to theme park news were among the most popular on the site.  Theme parks and roller coasters have been a passion of mine for quite some time.  So I have decided to create a completely separate website for theme park related news called ThrillGeek.

ASOG will remain dormant for a period of time until I figure out what to do with the site.  I simply do not have the time to upkeep two completely different blogs.

I would also like to take a quick second to thank everyone over the past year that has checked out ASOG and been part of this site.

ThrillGeek will be all things theme park, from news to photos and videos.

Go check it out at www.thrillgeek.com and get your theme park geek on!

Or follow the site on Facebook and Twitter:

Thanks!

Middle Earth coming to Universal Studios?

In an interesting rumor going around today, word is going around that Universal has purchased the rights for all theme park rights to build Middle Earth attractions, aka Lord of the Rings.  Nothing has officially been announced yet as to what will happen, or where it will go.  This is strictly a rumor at this point, but it has been in talks for quite some time.  Perhaps it is finally becoming a reality.
