Researching a story on top of a roller coaster? How did I manage this? One of my niches is writing maintenance articles on manufacturing equipment. One Father’s Day at Montreal’s La Ronde amusement park, it struck me that the rides were like production lines, with fun the product. I thought, “Maintenance article!” My editor bought my pitch.
During my cook’s tour to see the machinery,
I climbed the 32-metre high Vampire. The view was stunning and, OMG, the
Vampire trembles in the wind! My daring piece made the magazine cover.
