That in itself was a childhood dream. It felt so cool to see the park so still, so quiet.<\/p>\n<p>We started at The Raven, then The Legend, then The Voyage.

Since neither of those came true, he was honored to be invited by the UT Dance Team to help fulfill one of his bucket list moments. With this, Michael has used his platform to not only promote dance, but to help spread awareness and celebrate local businesses and non-profits in the area. Since childhood, Michael has always had an infatuation with roller coasters and amusement parks.

Originally from Delaware, Michael moved to Tennessee with dreams of being a cheerleader and a roller coaster designer. Since neither of those came true, he was honored to be invited by the UT Dance Team to help fulfill one of his bucket list moments. With this, Michael has used his platform to not only promote dance, but to help spread awareness and celebrate local businesses and non-profits in the area. Since childhood, Michael has always had an infatuation with roller coasters and amusement parks. From studying how coasters are designed to the history of theme parks and the buzz around new attractions, Michael loves speaking the language of all thing\u2019s amusement park. He uses roller coasters as a form of \u201ctherapy\u201d and is super excited to share his love with others."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10861"},{"taxonomy":"blog-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holidayworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog-topic?post=10861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
