Fun fact: was initially named Area 51/Outer Limits (X-files was pretty big at the time...there was a bar/club in the bottom named Area 51 too) and was completely dark...like pitch black. At some point after I left they started to dimly light it.

I was one of the first 100 people to officially ride that bad boy.

I doubt OP's ever caught anyone doing anything remotely stupid compared to the dumb shit security sees on a constant basis.

When I worked there they had "sky gondola's" as a conveyance laterally across the park. People were constantly using it to smoke weed in (leaving a trail of skunk smell on the ground below them...they were easy to catch), have sex in the gondola (they almost never finished in time as back then KD was much smaller than it is now), and throwing shit at people from up there.

They were removed in '95

People liked to sneak into the employee canteen as the same food served in the park was available there, and was also much cheaper.

Hurricane Reef was known for people occasionally shitting in the pools (they usually said they knew they didn't feel right, but they still got in anyway), having sex in the changing rooms, sneaking glass items into the pool area.

Employees who worked rides got the great job of cleaning up a lot of vomit (gotta love Voban), but they also had the perk of gathering loose change that fell out of pockets, or wallets or etc, etc...

Games people usually witnessed agressive behavior as idiots competed over overpriced bullshit.

Merchandisers were victims of shoplifters, and you wouldn't believe the shit I saw people trying to steal. I mean, c'mon lady. You weren't pregnant with a misshapen, asymmetrical lump when you walked in...you're also like 12.

People are dumb

It's probably not bad now, but in-park during hours 20 years ago was performed by the same people who worked rides, etc. they got the great job of cleaning bathrooms, and walking around with dust pans for trash and vomit. They also cleaned employee areas (lets face it, employees are dirty, dirty fuckers). They were paid the same as rides or merchants. Security, and EMT's were paid 1.50 more than everyone else back then, minimum wage was 3.75, so that wasn't insignificant. Full-time janitorial made good money, but that was usually done by 40 year old men.

In their defense, they didn't usually have to pick up much trash as employees were generally pretty good at picking up stuff they saw.
