Branson Talk / Would anybody like to share......?

« on: April 21, 2010, 09:36:44 PM »

If you can tell by my moniker, Im a paranormal enthusiast.  With the deep history that the Ozarks has, has anyone seen or experienced any ghosts in the area?  There is a rumor that Shephard of the Hills is haunted as well as the Dewy Bald area that Branson and SDC is located near?  My sister has camped in the area as well as I, and to tell the truth the area can be a little spooky especially when the fog rolls in.  Care to share?    TIM

Other Parks / My days at Six Flags-St. Louis (formerly Over Mid-America)

« on: April 20, 2010, 09:27:04 PM »

I worked at Six Flags STL during the years 1995-1998.  I started out at the Admissions area in the entrance to the park.  I soon moved to Operations-Rides then to the Entertainment Department.  During those years it was owned by Time-Warner.  During that time we were still a "theme park" with costumed cast members.  I was a ride operator for THUNDER RIVER, THE SWINGS, GUIDED TOURS for groups, Foghorn Leghorn (I cant remember how many times I was whacked by kids and their parents), plus a troll and a haunted house actor (I actually made a guy pee his pants in front of his girlfriend).  I made ALOT of friends during that time frame and was considering moving down to Branson and working at SDC but the turned me away because I didnt live there long enough and they give first preferance to Branson residences.  I will be looking for old pics from my SFSL days, needless to say when Premeire bought the park in 1998, they let the park go to pot.  Although, this year they have put money into the pak after the bankruptcy reform......supoosedly they are some new ride changes in store for 2011 with some rides from Kentucky Kingdom was closed.  We'll see.     TIM
