Ok well i havent updated in ages, ive been real busy with tafe and work. Yeah i got a job.
Well for starters, i now work at Luna park Sydney, You can view thier webpage here if any one is intrested. Luna park Sydney I am employed thier on a casual baises as a ride attendednt, i baiscally
just help people on to rides, help them off, tell them where to sit and explain saftey issues to them.The last couple of shifts that i have worked i have been on either the ferris wheel or in coney island. For those who dont know coney island is baiscally a fun house from the 1940's when it luna park first opened, its now been listed as a significant building of the past so thier not allowed to touch it which is great cos its some much fun. Once inside you have an option for a number of diffrent things. thier are the classic wooden slides, one of them baisaccly is a normal slide the other is one of those bounce gient slides the other is a 60ft giant vertical drop.all the slides are about 40 feet high and have a set of crash mats at the bottom to plow into. very fun.
besides the slide thier is the joy wheel where 10 to 15 people will have to sit a on wooden disc that starts to spin and the object is to stay on. most ppl eventually get thrown of by the speed and end up shooting into the soft cushioned bariers. then thier is the turkey trot which is a set of bridges that bounce up and down as u walk along them then thier is the wonky walk, thast a interactive walk way where all the floors move and spin and airvents shoot air up from the floor. its exactly how it was when it opened, and its cool to see the type of attractions the park had when it first opened.
The rest of the park is just hightech rides that we see everywhere.
The luna park sydney has had a very disturbing past. around 1960 around 30 years after it opened thier was a rollercoaster crash where 2 of the trains plowed into each other, a few months later thier was a ghost train fire where 7 kids and adults died. luna park then closed for the first time. it reopend about 10 years later and became a dull park where all the rides were baisacly from sideshows and the type of rides that come on truck from liitle moving shows. luna park closed for the second time a few years after that due to money issues and the falling number of public attending the park. in 1995 the park reopend with a brand new rollercoaster names the big dipper. (now called the cyclone at dreamworld) due to the ammount of noise the coaster created nere by home owners complained about the high level of disstubence and managed to shut the coaster down during night hours besides on weekends. due to this a number in visitors fell as the coaster was not open during night hours.
the park closed again in 2000 and reopend for a few months in late 200o till the end of 2000.
Well now the park is back with a vengence. the coaster is no longer thier as it has been sold to dream world, but we still have the classic Wild Mouse.
no longer is the park mearly an amusment park in the shores of sydney harbour. The site has been renovated and now has 4 function rooms, a big top used for major events such as concerts and such and a number of cafes and restraunts.
ok next section
Well tafe has now ended for the hollidays and im glad to say i have two weeks off. (well i had in total this is the last day) i have had a javascript assesment which was a bitch and a half to get done and im still not finished, i have to put in a entire bunch of writing explain what each code does then have to nmake it look all nice so when the webpage is viewed it looks like it actually does somthing rather then a bunch of text and a script in the back ground.
any how i guess thats all i have to say, but i think thats the most i have written ever in one go.
see yas
