Don't kick the 79 year old horses.

TABBY TAUGHT ME ON CAROLSEL. Yay.
Tidbits about the other rides I know. :

SOFTPLAY.
-Honestly, I think this is useless. It's just a playground. People can take there kids to McDonalds or a park for less.
-Under 54" Adults can watch kids but not play.
-Maximum of one kid going down the slide at once.
-Keep shoes on.
-When it rains, watch for puddles.
-Only need to be 14 to run this 'ride'
-No spiel.
-No more than 50.

FOAMFACTORY.
"Welcome boys and girls to the FoamFactory. For your safety, there is no running or horseplay allowed. As a reminder, Elitch Gardens is not responcable for any lost or stolen articles. Also, please keep your shoes on while in the FoamFactory. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your stay here at Elitch Gardens." I think there's more, but I can't remember. I don't have it memorized. It's written on the phone box and I just read it. BUT YOU GET A PRETTY INTERCOM.
-Under 54" unless with someone under 54"
-No more than 100 people inside. We don't inforce this well.
-Maximum of one child down the slide at once.
-DON'T EAT THE GODDAMN FOAMBALLS.
-Keep shoes on.
-Only need to be 14 to run also.
-The top is blocked by employees when it rains a lot and the top gets slick. We sit on the stairs and in the slides. Kinda fun.
-Don't sit in Granny's wheelchair.

KIDDIE COASTER.
"Welcome to the KiddieCoaster. For your safety and the safety of others please keep your arms and legs inside the Coaster at all times. We're going to go around a total of three times, and each time we're going to stop. If you want to stay on give me a thumbs up, if you want off give me a thumbs down." Then I ask if their ready. Make them yell loud, and let it go.
-No foot pedal.
-Press ball on the end of stick and pull back on the lever to the no break position while the chain is on.
-When the last cart is on the chain put the brakes on and hold it otherwise it'll just go through the station.
-Stop at silver line, but not after the yellow pole.
-Press the levers on the sides of the carts to release the lap bars.
-No parents on the top platform on the exit. Safety Hazard.
-Under 54"over 36" no exceptions.
-Stop chain whenever steping away from the brakes.

OBS. TOWER. ATTENDANT.
-Basically I just make sure people aren't being stupid on the deck. They only had time to train me on attendant position, not operator.
-Check the wind gage every so often to make sure it isn't in the danger zone and stuff.
-Yup.

CAROLSEL.
"Welsome everyone to the Carolsel. For your safety and the safety of others please keep all arms, hands and legs on your own horse at all times. Please make cure that you are not sitting side saddle, backwards, or two on one horse. Also, there is absolutly no switching horses or chariots while the ride is in motion. Thank you and enjoy your ride."
-Only 60 people on at once.
-The side oppisite to the entrance gate is the high side. Try to put people over there so the carolsel is balenced.
-The the height stick and turn it upside down, incert under carolsel and walk around it making sure it goes all the way around without getting stuck. This shows the carolsel is balenced enough that it will not scrape on the bottom.
-Under 36" to be accompanied by an adult. They can stand next to the child and balence them on a horse or sit in a chariot with them but not sitting on the same horse with them.
-Sometimes the music will stop and I have to go inside and hit play on the CD player. Lame.
-Four chariots and some odd horses.
-Hit e-stop when the green light goes off.
"As you may have noticed, the carolsel is slowing down. Please stay seated until the carolsel has come to a complete and final stop. At which time you may pick up any loose articles you may have left behind, then please exit to the gate to my right. Have a great day here at Elitch Gardens."
Wait til ride stops...
"Aright guys, you can go ahead and get off your horses now. Have a great day."
Or what I started doing.
"Smile, it's contagious!"
I also talked with the people. Made them say YeeHaw. Told them random facts about Carolsel. And yelled at the kids switching horses. Don't think I don't see it. Most of the time I notice. I do have mirrors. And it pisses me off when people do this because it can off balence it and screw the ride up.

FACTS ABOUT CAROLSEL.
-It took three years for carvers to hand carve and paint the individual horses and chariots.
-It was completed in 1928. Making the Carolsel 79 years old now.
-Carolsels turn counter clock wise, and Merry-Go-Rounds turn clockwise.
-The side of the horses that faces out is called the romance side and is decorated more elaboratly than the sides facing the inside. This is because they didn't want to pay the carvers to carve the sides that would rarely be seen.


INOTHER NEWS.
There's this new kid at work named Matt. He's pretty awsome, Tabby and I made insta-friends with him.
First day running Carolsel, and some kid wet herself on one of the Chariots. Akeem and Ashley had to come over to clean it up. I'm not authorized to. YAY.

Seasons almost over. Sad Day. I'mma miss everyone.

I probably spelled Carolsel wrong over and over. Lana don't have a seizure.
