^When have they ever had adequate staffing? Not in the five years I was there I know that.

California over-time exemptions don't include amusement park employees but it does include those that work at ski resorts. Thought that was kind of interesting considering the conditions these employees work in.

^The Federal Law would only supersede State Law only if the Federal Minimum Wage is more than the State Minimum Wage. California Minimum Wage as of 01/01/07: $7.50/Hour Federal Minimum Wage as of now: $5.15/Hour

BTW... with over-time that works out to be $451.05 EDIT: At base rate of $4.65/Hour and over-time at $6.975/Hour

THAT'S BS!!! Here's the other thing that is really messed up about Ohio and amusement park employers... With season positions, the employer is not required to pay over-time. So say Captain Wally works six days a week at Cedar Point, which is the norm, and due to being short staffed he also has to work open to close everyday for the week, which is also the norm. Park opens at ten, have to be there by nine in the morning and then get off at ten at night. 13 Hours/Day x 6 Days = 78 Hours for the Week 78 Hours x $4.65(What I made when I worked there) = $362.70 Take out money for taxes and employee housing and your left with about $250. Why I worked 5 years at Cedar Point, I'll never know. SHOVE IT TAFT!!!

^^The Jews already run and own most of Southern California. Do they really need to snap up the beer business also? Wally "Where your gold at?" Weissenbergstein

You don't need to be a member of ACE to do this event. Most park events allow most coaster groups or clubs to attend. Like premium members from Ted's coasterfanatics.com.

It's not the 2nd and 3rd!!! http://www.knotts.com/park/calendar/index.asp I know this screws things for a lot of people including myself. I won't be able to go anymore because I'll be in Japan. Hopefully some of you can get your flights changed.

Agreed!!! I would never got to Disneyland during the Holidays because of the huge crowds. It's just to insane for me. GREAT PTR!!!

I actually drove past the park the other day and saw them painting it. It's red and yellow. Sorta looks like Dragster. EDIT: Oops... just saw the pictures posted. I guess you guys already knew that.

There isn't shit to do in Fresno I guess. Nice Ryan!!!

Lame knock-off!!!

Did you eat paint chips as a kid???

Is it just me, or is there frost on the track?

That almost looks like your grandma in the back there Derek.

I had Bada Bing Cherry Ale yesterday at Third Street Ale Works in Santa Rosa. It was like drinking out of a jar of maraschino cherries.

The video of Mark all most losing it while eating squid is classic!!!

Why don't you fly out and meet us there in July. We'll just be kicking back with some awesomely huge stiens of Danish Bier and checking out women (well, me mostly). I had an awesome time at Tivoli this year. The park has so many rides crammed everywhere, and I got an ice cream cone the size of Dan's head! It was great! That funhouse is pretty crazy, thanks for sharing! -Don While your enjoying the lap of luxury in West Vagina with a $850 mortgage, I'll be working weekends to make my $3200 mortgage here in California. I think Japan will be the only major trip in 2007.

Got Phix tonight in Frisco. It's all about Gamehendge baby!!!

Video taping girls hair while on the UK trip... yeah, your an open target.

There is dust in the lenses. It's not the head I'm worried about. I always have time to get head.

The sad thing is... it is.

^So how old is your sister? Ehh... nevermind, your from Michigan. GO BUCKEYES!!!

Nice PTR!!! It's so nice to see something other than Universal Studios. Thanks for posting. Wally "I need to ride a Star Flyer" Weiss

So I want to get my camcorder cleaned before I head to Japan. Already have some ideas on making a kick ass video. Anyway... my camcorder is in desperate need of a cleaning. I called Ritz and they say they don't do it. Any suggestions?
