Meet California Correspondent Eric

We’re expanding to the West.

Until recently, most Coaster101 writers have been located primarily in the eastern half of the United States. But now I’m pleased to welcome California Correspondent Eric Wooley to the Coaster101 Team.

eric-wooley-2Eric will be writing about all the exciting developments and updates in the California parks. And if you’re new to the coaster community, there are a lot of them.

As the California Correspondent, Eric will provide on-the-ground coverage from parks like Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott’s Berry Farm, California’s Great America, and many, many more.

Eric knows a thing or two about the inner workings of roller coasters. A Stanford-educated mechanical engineer, he now works for a small fuel cell company based in San Francisco, California. And as a lifelong coaster enthusiast, he’s enjoyed watching the Northern California parks evolve over the years.

While he’s based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, he  enjoys heading south to visit the Southern California parks.

Aside from his interest in roller coasters, Eric is also a sports fan (Niners and Sharks, specifically). You can find him spending most Fall Saturdays tailgating college football games.

Join me in welcoming Eric to the team! We’re very excited to have him join us.
