The following letter is from a
past employee who named "DJ".
Dave Bowers wrote you a
memory of his MOUSE
RIDE, I was the operator. I remember how excited he was the first time
around the ride so I sent him around a second time. I don't remember a
person having more fun on that ride than he did. At Fantasy Farm after
closing we operators & friends would ride rides after midnight. On one of
those nights I was in a tub (seat) on the Monster Mouse. I was sitting
backwards with a can
of Beer in my hand when my tub got to the highest point of the ride. My tub
stopped! I sat my beer down in the seat, climbed out and stood on the track
to give my tub a push (planning to jump in and finish the ride) The
tub went
left and I went down 47 feet! They say I hit everything on my way down!
Looked like a pinball in a machine. I hit the ground hard. I was sore for 2
weeks. I remember the next morning after my ride/fall the Fantasy Farm
secretary had to use tweezers to pull the small pieces of gravel out of
my
forehead shoulder.
