I stumbled across your blog today! So funny! I am also from Lancaster and had to laugh at the Dutch Wonderland reference. I think it is mandatory for teenagers to do at least one summer at Dutch Wonderland.

Thanks for totally reworking the meme Becky (and so kindly suggesting that dissatisfied readers visit my site should they feel the need to vent their rage about the problem of glamourising teenage smoking!). The monorail operator job sounds interesting (visions of the Simpsons and Homer) … but how easy was it to drive while wearing that big purple dinosaur suit at the same time?

It’s always fun to look back at old jobs, I don’t think any of mine were as odd or interesting as yours, but I can see doing some posts about them. There was that bar where I had to wear a grass skirt….

Oh yes, Dave, the monorail job was quite futuristic. And Clair, as you well know there are some stories about driving trains and monorails. Just remember that no one was injured during my tenure at Dutch Wonderland. I may continue this theme (because it amuses me if no one else) and write about the DW days.

Type E, sorry you were subjected to the song. I hate websites that automatically play music.

So, any interesting stories about driving the Monorail or train at DW?

I dig the Dutch Wonderland theme song. Seriously.

“Ready for some fun, beyond the castle walls? Love to go to Dutch Wonderland, where you can do it all.”

You were a monorail operator? That sounds like a job of the future… today.
