A classic from the sfgamfan archives. One of my favorite activities. Being a supervisor enabled me to delegate my favorite tasks to myself. 😉 This summer I spent many hours at the flumes. When I started as a team member I did not like it. As a lead it was better because at least I got to ride it. As a supervisor I enjoyed spending time at the flumes. Its days are numbered, which is unfortunate....

    One time I was at twisted Timbers waiting to get on and there was a fault requiring them to remove a train and restart the ride. The ride start up sound says to clear the ride area so when the sound players some people in the station thought they had to evacuate the station😂

    @car_tar3882 Před 6 dny

    I want to be a ride op some day. My home park is kings dominion and I think their log flume would be cool to work at because 1 the station still uses manually actuated stoppers in the station (double load double unload station) and also the operator at the top of the lift uses their panel to advance boats from the holding area after the load stations so they don’t just sit there all day.

    It’s not adjusting speed, it goes fast so you can get to the top quickly, then it slows down before the top of the lift, and once the full train has cleared the lift block it slows down to a slow speed to reduce wear

    I rode this in 1981 with buzz bars and no Monstre boards. Coaster was beautiful back then. The helix has always been rough and unfortunately GP think coaster is too old because of this. But the helix is what makes this coaster unique.

    They already have an intense non-family batman. A eurofighter is so similar to b&m invert LAYOUT wise. It was intentionally a wildmouse to be a family ride. No duh I agree a eurofighter would be leagues better but that's not what they were ever going for with TDK.

    I don’t think chasing as it’s advancing into/out of the station would be possible cause it first needs to disengage the pins then all chassis wheels on all 8 rows need to be in the SAM cause otherwise they’ll come in and not be inside the SAM.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@jolietpinball7439That makes me sad. I’m not liking this growing old shit. The park we’re talking about, so that nobody is confused, is Great America theme park located in Santa Clara, CA. The business address and employee entrance is at 2401 Agnew Road, Santa Clara, CA. I worked four seasons there including two in Rides as Lead (Tidal Wave, Lobster were my “home” unit), but I was cross-trained on Demon, Edge and Orlean’s Orbit. Third season I returned as a Security Officer assigned to Mobile (that means I drove a Security vehicle. Generally on day shift I was in the red one. I also worked the entire down-season that year on graveyard shift. I enjoyed that a lot. My fourth and final season I remained in Security, but I was on Day Shift when the park re-opened. Mid-season I was offered the job of EMT in the First Aid medical unit by the AWESOME human being, Carol Catlett. The unit is named after her when she retired. (So many people love you mom!! You are the best boss EVER!) I just re-thought something. This thread mentions a re-working of the entire audio system throughout the park. I should have caught this right away, but to the person who mentioned this, do you know why they would do something so expensive right before they test everything down and put in business offices? Great America will soon be no more, so why the big expense now? The reason I first said I am sad if that’s what they’re doing is because those big speakers buried in the ground (with the green, square tops) give a unique sound that can only be heard there. There’s a good bass vibe, but speaking announcements are also crystal clear. Tech Services did a great job maintaining them and recording new announcements as well as the old classics when I was there. The gentleman who did these announcements did them all from a tiny recording booth inside Tech Services. My fellow old-time GA people: does this ring a bell? “Good morning! Great America will be opening in just a few minutes, but before it does, we ask that you remain standing where you are, as we salute our country, with the National Anthem”. Then it played and everyone stood still with their right hand over their heart. Would this be possible today? At nascar they do it before every race as well as an invocation from a minister in Raceway Ministries (I think it’s called that). But besides sporting events, I don’t know if this simple thing would be allowed or if they would be sued? What do you guys think?
