Congratulations fellow Parachutist!

I loved working that ride in the mid-80s. Operating two chutes at once made the time fly by. The only drawback was that it got extremely hot on that concrete pad all day broiling in the sun, but you do get one hell of a tan! :Heatmizer:

Now 30 31 32 33 34 consecutive years with a Great Adventure Season Pass
and 10 11 12 13 14 consecutive years with a Hurricane Harbor Pass!

Thanks Mike! Lol farmer's tan! I'm Asian so I have that tan built into me. We'll see about the tan.
As for the stressfulness I know how hard it is. I was in foods last year and the long lines were just unbareable. I figure its more stressful operating rides than a cash register! ;)

Hahaha i never swam! We had hoses though that we often soaked ourselves with and guests glared in jealousy. It was just a chance and no hours vs the security of more hours type of thing. Plus i miss the sea lions.
