If you found a used condom, it probably didn't get left there on accident. Some crazy person probably thought that it would be hilarious if they grossed out all of the guests.



People :roll:

After two summers working at Cedar Point I saw TONS of wierd things in ride low zones.
An uncountable amount of weaves at Wicked Twister, a prosthetic leg(did not find, we where told by the one legged guest) A depends diaper, maxi pads... and believe it or not.... at dragster we would find a numorous amount of used tampons along with lots and lots of quarters... and really only quarters fell off at dragster.
Maverick was a cellphone machine on the first drop, and a sunglasses machine in the "Twisted Horse Shoe Roll"

(Please, can you go and get my $350.00 sunglasses out of that slimey lagoon!) :roll:

I found $5 in the park once and turned it into lost and found. A few months later got a letter from the park, opened it up and it had a $5 bill and a letter enclosed that read "Thank you for turning this item in, no one has claimed it. -____ Manager of Security, Six Flags Great America." :)

A. We don't need a five hundred foot giga.

B. You could fit one in the Shuttle/Go Karts Area, As well as the area between Viper and Whizzer, and it could continue over by 'blazer, It could also go by Splash/Vu/Railroad and Eagle Helix area.

C. We will not be getting one anyway unless the entire board of Directors of the Six Flags inc as well as the full-time management of SFGAm gets lobatomized.
Why do we fall, Master Bruce?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

Someone's car keys by Raging Bull. They probably fell out during the fourth drop. I couldn't reach them, so I let one of the guards know.

I remember back in '06 I saw a child running underneath S:UF and they had to close down the ride for a few moments.

^people always jump into the ride area at Superman. That is also why new fencing was installed around the low zones.

O.K., one question. Why would you bring your social security card with you to the park? (unless you were an employee) That'd be a horrible thing to lose...

^My guess it was an employee who wanted to spend some time in the park after getting hired or training.

My understanding of the money that is collected in the water rides, reflection pond, under rides, etc. are all given to a local chariaty at the end of the season.

When I worked at the park as a sweeper in 1988, I kept a jar at home of the penny's that I found during the season. At the end of the season, I took them to the bank to see how many I had. Turns out it was between $7 and $10. I then took the money and doinated it to a local church.
