Eric, you missed out. Driving the tractors during Fright Fest was by far the most fun I had working at the park.
-
This question is for former employees. Does anyone remember the Yearbooks they would sell, I know the park stopped publishing them in the late 90's. It would be cool to see them again, we should dig them up and get the pictures to Harry.
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!

Does anyone still keep in touch with Campbell or Rochelle Scotti from that time period?
I know Campbell is a detective with the Jackson PD now.

Eric! Good to hear from you. We had some good times working together. Western Cables Rules! I ran into Chet about 2 years ago. He's still exactly the same. We really did work with some awesome people.
-
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!

Jen was over at Mine Train and sometimes so was Rochelle/ Mike was at RT along with Miracle. Viper had myself and Marcus.
Wow, I haven't heard those names in a long time. Brings back lots of memories.

Hey winfield do you remember jen she was one of the night leads?
I worked the night shift from 95 to 98 mostly in the western section. I remember a Jen that was a night lead but I can't remember if it was at Mine Train or Viper.

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.

Anything to do with the Song of the same name?
Isn't that Fernando?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?

Hi everyone. I'm Dave Tony House Pacitti. I worked rides from '95 till '98. Started out on the Log Flume and ended up at Cables by the end of the year where I worked with some of the best people I ever met. I was the lead at Western Cables in '96 and '97 and then sold out and went to the Dream Street side in '98. Met and worked with some really great people in those years and unfortunately lost touch with many of them.

Wow. That's pretty impressive. Looks very accurate to me. You might want to check with Winfield about it though. He's our resident Viper expert.
