Such a nice little place, and Ed, you made our CZ trip so much better
with your wonderful hospitality. Thanks for what you did to extend the
run of this park, you surely worked as hard as you could to promote
the park. Thanks ED Hope you're doing well.

Thanks for hosting so many of us at the park over the years. You're a great
guy Ed.

thank you Tim,

One of the hardest things for me to do was quit, but the owners forced that
hand by replacing me with a new management team, and making me safety
coordinator. The new management team, IMO killed the customer service end of
the park, we just never saw eye to eye.

I harbor no ill feeling, it was never MY park, but I could never understand
why the owners fell in love with these new guys, other than they could be
there all the time,(have a REAL job). Oh well, I lived my dream for 14
years. Thank you to all those that dropped in to see me, and to ride our
funky collection of rides.

I managed to stop by the park years ago just as it was closing for the
day. I did manage to purchase tickets to ride the Ripper but the ride
ops were shutting the coaster down as I approached the station. I
told them I had stopped by to ride the coaster and they let me take my
ride.

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, Ed, but I did enjoy my ride on the
Ripper! I really do hope that some other park will purchase it so
many others will be able to enjoy it! HW? Knoebel's? Gilroy
Gardens? :)
