It's been a long time since I've been here. I have memories of it being sort of dark and dingy, with the societal rejects operating the rides.
But I was pleasantly surprised this time. The rides were the same but the staff as friendly, helpful, clean-cut, and took their jobs seriously. I think most of them were from eastern Europe, working here for the summer season. The place seemed to be well maintained and brighter.
