As mentioned last time, Yosemite Sam Sierra Falls was a bad ride to work, especially the time spent working unload at the runout. It’s out in the open during the hot California summer (note the absence of shade structures), you get continually splashed as rafts come in for a landing, and then after instructing guests to exit you then retrieve the raft and feed it to the conveyor shed in the middle. Just unpleasant.

In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.
