Major Announcement: Rex and The Beast Dot Com

Hold on to your hats my friends. A new website is currently being developed that will highlight and journal the theme park adventures of Rex and The Beast.

As most of you know, I am a super theme park junkie. Along with my brother, Rex, we try to hit as many theme parks in a year as our schedule will allow. (My sister would totally be in on this also, but she has this little girl named Bella running around.) My brother lives in Denver and I am in Louisville. We both have season passes to Universal Studios, FL. We are, in some respects, experts of Universal Studios, especially the park Islands of Adventure.

The website will contain several interactive features, including a home page with updated news on our next scheduled trip, a photo section that will allow multiple searches for either specific theme parks we have visited or the date of our trips, a video section which will of course offer visitors the chance to watch our interaction at the parks, and articles written by both me and Rex on parks, rides, and ratings.

The purpose of the site is two fold. On the one hand, we just want a neat way to archive our various trips. Rex and I realized how many times we have visited parks around the country, especially in Florida, and thought it was high time we chronicle these trips in some fashion. Secondly, we want to provide a place where theme park lovers can see pictures of the various parks from a fan perspective, watch rides in action, and keep up with the latest theme park "news" from the world of Rex and The Beast. Theme park reporting websites, such as screamscape.com, are always needing pictures of rides, parks, etc that people have visited. So who knows, our little website might become a fan favorite!

We are working with a talented web designer to produce the look, feel and smell of a hard working theme park website that will pack a punch. In other words, it is going to look killer. I will keep you updated here at the Lair, but as of now we are expecting a mid-to late October grand opening, just in time to report our 2007 trip to HHN in Orlando.

So, be strong and courageous!
