The long-running SATURDAY SIX column at TouringPlans is marking a major milestone: 13 years of weekly features. This week’s installment turns the spotlight inward with a retrospective that revisits how the column took shape and the moments that kept readers coming back.
According to the look-back, the project traces its beginnings to a simple direct message that set everything in motion. From there, the column evolved into a consistent Saturday read, known for list-driven rundowns, humor, and deep appreciation for theme parks and their fans. Over more than a decade, its style and audience grew alongside the broader TouringPlans community.
The anniversary piece curates standout entries, nods to long-running bits, and reader-favorite themes that helped define the column’s voice. It also reflects on the collaborative spirit that developed around the work, acknowledging how feedback and shared enthusiasm shaped what topics rose to the top.
Framed as both a celebration and a checkpoint, the retrospective captures what SATURDAY SIX has meant to TouringPlans and its readership while hinting at more Saturdays to come. It’s a snapshot of how a weekly theme park column became a tradition—and why its blend of insight and fun continues to resonate after 13 years.
