  1. I actually have two of them. I have them in a box somewhere. I'll have to see if I can find them.

    QUOTE(Eric @ Aug 7 2008, 11:06 PM) Dave it's good to hear from you too! I was actually telling someone I work with about this a few weeks back. Do you remember the crew cooling off at the dive show on the way back to the office! How could I forget. Me, you, Stacy, and whoever else was walking back. I remember always checking for security before we went to cool down. Good Times!
  3. Yeah! Adventure Theature would be awesome. I almost forgot about that. Looking back on it I guess those movies were kinda corny but when I was younger it was so cool!
  4. I liked the Quest For Camelot show too. Never saw the actual movie though. The water screen was really cool. They should bring back the ski show. That was so funny. The guy selling Bomb Pops always made me laugh. I would watch that at least once on each visit.
  5. I would like to see a spotlight on the Haunted Castle too. I never had the chance to experience it and I would love to see some pictures and hear a little more about it.
  6. I know there was a building back there that they used for season pass processing once. I also believe they used that building for some kind of time share sales or something like that.
  7. I too would like to see both the Dive Show and Ski Show return. Those were always two of my favorite things and would always watch them at least once each time I would visit the park. It was nice just to sit down and relax for a while. Plus one of the dive girls was really cute.
  8. Did that building used to have lockers in it?

    I worked Western Cables from '95 to '97 and was the night lead the last of those two years. What a great time it was. I miss the constant battles between us and Dream Street about who was the better side. I remember taking my cable car key home with me every night because I didn't want it to disappear. I was the perfect length and angled just right. It was always fun seeing how big of a gap you could get on the cable by holding the cars in the station and then manually tripping them out, seeing how many things you could throw through the light curtain before you could get it to trip, and seeing how many people you could put in one car before the catched from Dream Street would call and yell at you. It was also pretty cool the one time i switched all the cars around so all the blues were together and all the reds were together. The one thing I enjoyed most, aside from the periodic tower checks was at the end of the night I would have all the rest of my crew climb up the ladder and go out on the catwalk between the two towers and watch the fireworks before we cleaned up for the night. Here's a question for all you fellow cable workers, am I the only one who still checks for pre-clamps before I get on now?
