coasterloverx13 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 hey my name's steve im 15 going on 16 i love roller coasters and SF I have been to great adventure, magic mountain, america, and the great escape. I love six flags my favorite ride at SFgav is nitro . The only coaster i have not been on in great adventure is kingda ka because i have yet to get to the park early enough to beat the line. In my free time i snowboard and ski i also run and operate a haunted house during the october season and have a website it is www.hauntedgarage.org it has not been updated as of yet though i expect it will be done by mid july. It is a free haunt and i encourage people in the area to come see it. Halloween is my second favorite thing next to roller coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAFD662 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hello All I worked at GA from 1980 to 1995. As you can see I worked in a very unique department. It is a department that was rich in history both famous and infamous. I count my career at GA (and it was my career) as a very rewarding experience. The job was great, the people I met at the Park were fantastic, and if all have figured out the department from my user name, we were probably the only department that had access to ANYWHERE on the Park property including the Switlik mansion and the homes along the back road. There were so many great times, hope to see some in this forum. BTW, I hate the rides from having to work above and below them (not a ride mechanic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi GAFD662, Welcome! I believe you ARE the first person from your department to join us! If you have an opportunity, we would love to hear about the mansion and some of your stories from your years at GA! We hope you enjoy the site.

buster65 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi my name is Dave, I attended many concerts at the Great Arena between 1985-89. I was wondering if anyone knows of or has a link to concert dates from this time period. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi Dave, welcome to the site! We are currently working on putting together show schedules and concert listings year by year. I have access to all the show schedules from that time (and every year since) and it's just a case of finding all the time to get through them and get them all scanned. I worked at many of those concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster65 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Thanks GAcoaster, the concert dates I am looking for are BonJovi 7800 degrees farenheit tour 85???, Zebra, Joe Walsh, Quite Riot, Samantha Fox, Kansas, Eddie Money, Christal Ship (Doors tribute band) Cool & The Gang, Cheap Trick (2 or 3 concerts from 85-89) & Scandal. I grew up in Jackson about 4 miles from the park and to see these shows for $2 -$3 with a season pass was pretty cool. Have been to about 200 concerts but have no idea about the GA dates. Please help, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'll see what I can find for you. I know I worked the Samantha Fox concert...I probably can find that date with no problem. I remember standing next to her and she was VERY short, so you couldn't help but look down at her cleavage. And she was the only act I can remember that we had to make sure no one took pictures. Her management was very strict that there was to be NO PHOTOGRAPHY in the Arena. Cool & the Gang used to play ever year (being they're from Jersey). We should be able to track those dates down without much problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnerleroy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 What was the Switlick Mansion like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Some of the concert's at the park that I went to were, Molly Hatchet, Ted Nugent, Golden Earring (Before they called it off) Bow Wow Wow (I want candy was their only hit) Charlie Daniels Band and a few that buster mentioned. I seem to remember more shows the more I think about it, so I'll probably come up with some more soon. And buster since you lived so close to the park did you ever go in by Canoe? I did a couple of times back in the day, and all the local's probably know what I mean. *R* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster65 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 No, I never snuck in, always went thru the front door. However I had some freinds that worked the rides who on occasion (many times) when the lines were long would let us enter through the exit; and would'nt you know it there was a ride available. Kids DO NOT try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Going by canoe is not something I'm proud of or anything, but I was 15 and it was pretty fun actually. Not like I would do something like that now or condone anyone doing it today, either. We went into the park behind the Arena all Mission Impossible style. The only thing that sucked was paddling out when it was time to go. After a long day at the park, paddling is not something I recommend. *R* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
