STORIES FROM THE SOUTH PARK (Page 3 of 6) by Brian McCormick Article: Added May 2006 |
||
With
reference to The Cableway, we used to use it during very
busy illumination weekends to get from one end of the
park to the other because it took forever trying to walk
through the crowds. Only this one time the ride broke
down halfway across because of high winds and I was
stranded for twenty minutes or so!
When I did finally get to the other end the operations manager (Albert Wallace) was waiting to apologise to the customers for the delay as they eventually disembarked. I think I got off lightly because, like Mr Wallace, I am also from north of the border. I only have one story about the Space Tower but I can't have it confirmed as I never saw it myself. I was told from a tradesman many years ago that during warm sunny days the very top of the Space Tower was the ideal place for a bit of nude sunbathing and that the only people who could see you were pilots of light aircraft! When I first started in the works office - that's what it used to be called - we had to deal with lost kids. One day a member of staff came in and said "I've got a lost kid for you", so I opened the door to let the kid in. It wasn't a kid of the human variety it was a young goat (kid) that had escaped from Old McDonalds farm!
