But when the gentleman said it wasn't fun anymore, I actually could kind of read it in the magazine. As I said earlier, it seemed to have lost a bit of luster of late. I thought it was that they just ran out of things to talk about, but maybe it was just someone trying to carry on with a heavy heart.

I remember when a bundle of back issues were delivered to my house one day in the early 1990's--awww man! What a wonderful, warm magazine. Still, I'd rather see the curtain drop than know The E Ticket was limping along. As for Persistence of Vision, it really doesn't deserve mention in a post about The E Ticket...Paul Anderson's pathetic half-promises still rub me raw.

As someone said, it was obviously a labor of love, and that came through everywhere, although the "hard facts" were always solid as well. I was afraid when Leon J. passed, and the magazines became less frequent, that this might happen. It's an awful lot to expect one person to do. Still, I'm glad there will be one final issue. Some of my favorite issues were on the FaL dark rides when they described (and often had pictures of) the pre-'83 versions, and compared them to the current versions. It was like being able to ride the old versions again, and it was great. Same with rides like the various versions of the Mine Train. Great job, Janzen brothers! You brought a lot of smiles to a lot of people. Thanks for the memories, literally.

Box at the end of the year to update my change of address but the letter was returned to sender. I wonder if/how they will find me for my final issue and renewal refund? When I renewed I ordered a bunch of old issues - looks like I got lucky as that was my last chance.
18	netenyahoo Mon 3/3/2008 10:53a	I will also greatly miss the mag. Great articles and ever better pics. I wish Disney would produce a good magazine like it.
19	aracuanbird Mon 3/3/2008 11:00a	Just kidding you, Lee. I think my favorite issues of The E Ticket were either with Tom Scherman talking 20,000 Leagues or the Haunted Mansion interviews with Ken Anderson. The HM articles were especially great at revealing that, even those these attractions are so epic and nearly-perfect, the process involved in getting there is very human, very organic. Loved it!
