    I was obsessed with this documentary.. recorded it off tv in the 90s and re watched it countless times on VHS 😢

    I worked 4 seasons (between 1999 until 2004, including my first season) at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and this is exactly what it is like, to work at theme parks. I miss it so much

    Very deep behind the scenes. Love all the Oblivion stuff and how genuinely excited everyone was. That is the magic. Rushing to the gates and the giddy excitement amongst everyone

    Crazy amount of adverts, ruined a great video for just short of 50 minutes of fottage there was around 30 adverts, CZcams has ruined it for viewers and content creators

      This is why, nowadays, I only ever watch CZcams on my PC with an ad blocker. It's just painful to try to use it any other way.

    The bit about the unions is the only thing that I find really dodgy!, Unions were founded for a reason!, To make sure that employers can just abuse and treat Employees like crap.
