Coney Island Photo Update 3/30/07/Job Interview at Astrola

[CycloneMan]

Okay guys, I got a suprise call yesterday from Astroland. Apperantly, Marie Martino, the parks PR, kept bugging Mark Blumenthal to give me an interview. She kept telling them that they needed me to work there, so they gave me a call and my interview was today at 3 in the office. Last year I had an interview, that didn't go to well. It turned out, I was too young to work there. But I'm old enough now, so....we'll read the TR.

 

I was pretty nervous on the way there (notice a car, not a subway this time)

 

The moment of doom.

 

Ah, this ride really gave me hope.

 

I can't wait to ride you Sunday!

 

The following pictures I took while waiting for Mark to come back with the papers and what not:

 

Allright so I had my interview. We covered the basics. He was told I was in ACE so he kind of skipped over the Amusement Park reason. Well, to work in rides in NYC, you have to be over 18. So I can work in either food or games. I chose games, and I got the job ananarock: ! After the interview, I stood around talking to the GM and what not. They want me to be a part of the Coney Island Historical Project, and they said, "You know more about Coney Island than I do!" Well, I'm from there, so I should!

 

Anyway, back to the pictures.

 

Me happy about having a new job!

 

We picked up some loser (Yanks2Jets14) on the way home :rolleyes: !

Big congrats! Did the exact same thing at your age when my local park was closing, glad I did. Allowed me to spend alot of quality time there before it disappeared into park history. Take a few spins on Cyclone for me!
