BoddaH1994 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I was browsing the Six Flags site and found a humorous error on their web site that I thought was worth posting. Ride Mechanic: Tech Services Position Type: Full-time Description: Responsible for the maintenance, repairing, erecting, and trouble shooting of rides and attractions to ensure their safe operation. Skills Required: Must have practical skill and proficient knowledge of mechanics, gear reductions, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electricity. Must be able to read, wrtie, and understand and implement maintenance and inspection procedures and possess strong safety sensitivity. Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and at heights up to 200" above grade. Must possess a valid drivers license and a high school diploma or the equivalent. Maybe I should apply for this position. I can wrtie real good. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 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. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 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! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 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. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 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. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 Yeah, but a step ladder is like a folded A-frame ladder in my book. Those are perminently welded to the structures. Quote
