My funnest time was working in amusement parks in the late '70s.
I got to spend a whole summer doing underwater lighting and speakers. Lotsa' swimming, diving w/ compressed air.
We had elephants, giraffes, tigers, black panthers, bears
(BTW, the elephant can pull wire better than we could with 2 3/4 ton trucks and a tractor)
After that, got to work @ Knott's Berry Farm, rewiring some rides, and putting in special effects. These effects were the original "Tivoli tubing" lighting things that now have become "rope lights". We put 'em on roller coasters, and they'd short out because of the vibration.
I'd better shut up, 'cause I'll rave forever...It was so much fun... [Linked Image]S
