I redesigned the website for The "E" Ticket Magazine, which deals with mainly Disneyland, but also other theme park (i.e. Knott's, Pacific Ocean Park, etc.) attractions. It's my first site & I kinda taught myself (which may be obvious) - but I'm (mostly) happy with how it came out... Check it out at: http://www.the-e-ticket.com & Tiki Room/Adventureland fans may enjoy this page: http://www.the-e-ticket.com/Issue_page_39.html

I only remember it as a very young kid. It was cool to see some of those photos. Non of them, unfortunately, were of the island ride at the end of the pier. Now that is an extremely vague memory.

By that I mean, a new and improved version of the magazine's website went live earlier this week. And what a wonder http://www.the-e-ticket.com is to explore. Check out that great design. It goes on for pages and pages, people. With lots of witty touches tucked away in odd little corners." http://www.jimhillmedia.com/articles/01082004.2.htm

(with the exception of some asp pages coming soon). It was a long, but good learning experience for me... Now, if I could just get christophermerritt.com updated!
