Love it. - 04.03.2010, 04:26 AM

Yea I loved that place. As a part of my daily duties when working the third shift I was always happy to ride each and every coaster every morning before the park opened up for the day. It was one of our requirements for checking the sounds of the cars and the track. Once you get used to how everythign worked it was quite easy to hear if anything was out of wack. Not to mention that it was hella fun for me. One of my nightly PM's was to do the "walk through" track inspection of the entire ride, which always included finding at least $30 to $40 in change and bills laying about the ground from the cork screw or one of the other inverted turns. Plus the jewlery, cameras, Oakley sun glasses, and other stuff lost on the ride. Everything personal was turned into lost and found, but after 30 days was turned back over to us if not claimed. Some guys just did not enjoy the rides, but it was always a blast for me. My girl(now my wife) used to call me early in the morning to check my status and I would chat with her while testing the rides. Pretty cool job, and the pay was not bad either. All in all a good company to work for.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
