I was browsing the Six Flags site and found a humorous error on their web site that I thought was worth posting.

Maybe I should apply for this position. I can wrtie real good.

Isn't THIS one, too?

Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and at heights up to 200" above grade.

Not sure, but I bet that is supposed to be 200' above grade. Not many rides are only 200" tall.

That is 16', ya know!

I can't find the exact phrasing of it, but I applied for a tech services job at KI a few years ago and I had to sign a paper saying that I could work on a step ladder as high as 340'. I told the interviewing lady that I'd like to see their 340' ladder, and asked why they have a ladder taller than anything in the park.

There's a step ladder on Drop Zone's catchcar that is over 300' at the highest point.

Might be one that's used to get to the beacons on DZ and the Eiffel, too.

Although 340', I dunno.

Yeah, but a step ladder is like a folded A-frame ladder in my book. Those are perminently welded to the structures.
