Most of which would probably ban my childern from working at the park if I told them here.

Karen McMonigle went by: Karen Tompkins Seasons worked: 1973-1978 Funny story or happening: I was so excited to find this website. I was looking for information on Fiesta Texas and saw this website. I worked at Six Flags for many years in the 70's, starting in Gifts & Souvenirs and ending up in Guest Relations. One funny thing that happened to me in Guest Relations was when I was making an announcement over the park intercom system. We did this by going into a back room, using a telephone, and pressing a certain number button. We had to tell everyone else in the office to be very quiet, because whatever you said could be heard all over the park. Well, one time I went to the back room to order pizza for us all, and by mistake, ended up ordering our pizza over the entire park intercom system! My years at Six Flags were such a wonderful experience, and as I can see from this website, many more of you feel the same way. I love the Spee-Lunker Cave petition, and of course, we all miss LaSalle's River Boat. My brother, Mark Tompkins, also worked at Six Flags in the 70's. He worked in Rides, on the Astrolift. Areas of park: Gifts & Sourvenirs; Rides; Guest Relations email: Karen McMonigle Other info: I have been a legal assistant for the same attorney for 19 years! Brian Kirk Seasons worked: 1991,92,96 Funny story or happening: I had the pleasure of meeting "Flummie" (floom-ee), who held the record for most log ride trips in one day. Very nice, and interesting, man. Worked in Guest Relations when the power went out over the whole park, which happened three times in one summer (92) It seemed like every guest blamed me for the power outage. I was a supervisor in security the first year SFOT had metal detectors at the front gate. (whoa, the things we found in people's bags. I'll never say, but wow!!!)

Apparently there was an assistant foreman of the warehouse who could always find trouble. Back then operating supplies for the stands(baseballs,darts,balloons,etc.) were kept in the front of the warehouse. This particular person allegedly threw a ball into one of the cardboard merchandise boxes. His co-worker, a somewhat impressionable sort, decided that would be a cool thing to do also. With all of his might, he heaved the baseball into a sprinkler head. The head began spewing rusty water within the prescribed 10'radius, and merchandise began to get damaged. Thinking quickly, after laughing (allegedly) for what must have seemed hours the two decided it was time to move the merchandise out of harms way. The two moved, with help from other warehouse crew members, moved the stuffed animals outside. Mike Apple issued a department wide memo thanking the two for their quick thinking, and saving the department from a huge hit in cost of sales dollars. I think, as the story goes the instigator came clean about his part in the mishap. Areas of park: Skeeball Palace, Warehouse, Supervisor, Operations, Etc. email: Chuck Wood People to find: Lori Brewster, Bob Abbott, Bob Hatton, Rob Lunde Other info: Currently serving time as Games Manager at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Same message xxx-ooo's other depts: Ride Operations, Grounds Quality, Games, Security Dave Foti went by: Foti Seasons worked: 1985 - 1991 Funny story or happening: I remember back in 1985 when Arlington was a much cooler place to live that SFOT was the best (only) place around to work as a high schooler. SFOT was a great experience and a great place to make friends. If you couldn't get a date working at SFOT you had some serious issues. Anyway, every girl I've ever dated seriously (this includes college in Austin) had worked at SFOT. I remember thinking how cool it was working out there for 6 years so that I had an employee ID with every flag (somehow I managed to not turn them in - still have them somewhere). Without a doubt I would go back and relive my SFOT summers!
