Hey mnemo, I too have fond memories of working at Wallyworld. I started about half way through the first session in food services in HB. As soon I turned 18 I moved over to rides in Medieval Fair working Bounty's, Dodgems and Sea Deamon. Back then it was seasonal so when I finished school and found a full time job they wouldn't let me stay because I wasn't available to work during the school holiday. It was with great reluctance that I left at the next school holidays back in (now this is going to age me) 1989Hello to all, and yes I've just discovered this forum... good to see there are others with 'Wallyworld' still in their hearts.
I still have a very good friend that I met in my first session. We still to this day speak about our days at Wonderland. I check the memorial site regularly .... it brings back such great memories.btw .. Love the memorial site too.. I have a head full of anecdotal stuff about the insides of the Park.. the rides and shows and audio equipment. I would love to contribute... or tell stories.. yarn, rant, banter and maybe one day... when drunk and depressed, I'll make up a whole tirade of expletives about the sunway years.... -
Man, they certainly did compromise safety in the end. Back in my days there were even three staff on the dodgems. Much like BR loader, unloader and operator. Hated working the dodgems, if you started your shift as operator you were stuck there for three hours before moving to the next ride, usually the Sea Demon. The kids would never listen when you told not to run on the track and constantly trip over :mad: Thanks for the welcome Daniel ... and definately a boy (Adam)As usual anything to save a buck, even when it did compromise the golden rule in a theme park, SAFETY! We were pushing **** up a hill to get 2 people on Demon and Probe. Anymore than that, it was a SPECIAL day! Ah well, who cares? Welcome Kumba old son! (gal?)

Are you friggen nuts? :eek: Not at all
I worked at Wonderland (now this is going to date me) from 1985 to 1989. Back then there were three staff ... operator, loader and unloader. We used follow a roster where we would rotate positions every hour moving through all positions in our "location". I used work on the dodgems, Sea Deamon and Bounty's.
The last time I went to Wonderland, about a year before it closed, I was amazed at how much they had cut back on the staffing compared to when I worked there :eek: -

I bought RCT2 recently and don't have any expansion packs. I haven't spent a hell of a lot of time playing it yet (bloody work) so I'm not terribly good at it.
