Welcome & About Me

 

The World-Famous Coney Island Cyclone in New York

Hello and welcome to the beginning of Ray's Window Seat travel blog. For anyone that knows me, you know that at any given time I may hop a flight to ride some roller coasters, have dinner, or just visit a new state. I've even gone as far as traveling to the United Kingdom for a Day just to ride some new roller coasters. 

Growing up on the shores of Lake Erie, my childhood playground was Cedar Point Amusement Park & Resort. In 1989 Cedar Point built Magnum XL-200 and I immediately grew to love roller coasters and parks. I worked for Cedar Point for 7 seasons from Admissions, Park Sweep, Ride Operations, A Scare Actor during Halloween, and ended my years there as an engineer for the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad. 

Many of my adventures are spur of the moment hop on a flight and see where I end up, while others are planned out well in advance and planned out day by day. 

My travels have taken me to 46 of the 50 states as well as Europe, Canada, Mexico, and many Caribbean Islands. You truly never know where I will end up next and when.

 I'll start out by posting some of the most recent trips and adding in current stuff as I go along. So come along with me, I'll even let you have the Window Seat!
