Next to the Big Dipper I worked what was called The Fun House around 1978 or 1979. That was one wild summer. Sit up in the rafters at the controls pushing buttons releasing air, starting and stopping stuff while people went through The Fun House. One day I was working the ride with sail on it that would allow you to swing out and higher or down lower, one of the cars had the word BROKE written on the sail so I was told not to let any ride in that car. Ill never forget the night it flew off landed over a fence and disappeared, luckily no one was in it. Used to sneak over to the zoo during break and lunch to see some twins that worked there. One day a buddy and I was going to see the twins and the zoo wasn't open yet so we would sneak through some woods and jump the fence, we ran into what we thought was bunch of baby quail and started trying to catch one, then all of a sudden this meanest turkey hen that you ever saw flew in from somewhere and clipped my buddy in the back, acted like the devil, then came at me fighting mad held us off while the little ones got through a fence then flew off to them and was gone. We decided it wasn't worth trying to catch one anymore.
