Any old White Water Landing crew members here except me!!!

I was wondering where all the WWL former crew members are and what their doing now!! Give me some feedback I am so interested about the Rivergod!!!

~*Former WWL Crew Member 05*~

I worked there the first two weeks of my first year, then I was off to the old CCMR.

The one thing that was kinda cool was after being on that turn table for awhile, then going to regular ground, you still felt like you were moving.

I will miss riding it, not working it.

I never worked WWL, but that was what I hated most about Thunder Canyon. Just spinning, spinning, spinning, for hours at a time...I even threw up a little in the flume once.

I loved working WWL, except at night on the lifts with the big spiders and mayflies! Those were gross.

Hey girl its Kelly your atl from this year. I hope to see many old white water landing crew members from years past up at cedar point this up and comming weekend. This is my 2nd year on white water landing. I worked a little of it last year. I will miss that ride very much. How about the mice on our ride. :)

I used to work at Frontier Inn alot and I always heard the recording of Welcome to White Water Landing (the freaky lady) but its time we say Bye Bye WWL.

Ahh... my friends and family. It's Miss Piggy. I sure as hell won't miss Dixie! WWL crew 05!

Yeah turntables are fun, Helping Matt clean TC before Halloweekends was a blast I just think I couldnt be rotating all day.As well as WWL it will definately be missed now I wont have anything to look at while I drive my antiques around! As well as riding that ride so many memories...

Ok as an old time WWL crew member, let me say that I am sorry to see it go. It was a quality family ride with just enough thrill. WAY back in 1987 I was assigned to work WWL. It was an easy ride to work, and we had lots of fun. Funniest things were when a lady with a miniskirt would try and sit on the seat while I was working load position... I think she had on furry under pants. Also working the lift position it was possible to actually catch some sleep if you had the right kind of sunglasses. Working the Chute when a storm was approaching is probably the most afraid I've been....when you watch lightning strikes out on the bay getting closer and closer, knowing you have to stay there until the ride is closed down. I loved to hide in the cave and scare people when they passed by, and also to catch a smoke in between breaks. Any stories you'd like to share. Gotta love the wet photocells (run-out, merge, etc)

Geoff,

It was my job to catch you guys trying to sleep at the lift position (and ring the red phone in the station to watch you jump). The memories of WWL are great and they always had a great crew. I also remember going up to the chute position to look at weather coming in off the bay - not a fun place to be if a quick storm approached. I also remember the pond cleanings we did at night during the summer when the ride had fresh water.

RIP WWL

Ahhhh yes the beautiful pond cleaning during the cleanup weeks. I tell you, many people don't know how fun it was trying to get boats out when you had a storm comming in. When you had 30 somthing boats going on, its always fun.
