The Big Dipper was, by far, the best attraction at Jantzen Beach. The Carousel, not so much. To be frank, I can't even remember any of the attractions that weren't that roller coaster.

The FUN HOUSE was a terrific experience. The swimming pools were fabulous, and when a little older, the dance halls were superior.

During the summers of my Junior and Senior years of high school, I had the greatest time working at Jantzen Beach operating the Octopus, Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, the Miniature Train and the Carousel. One year they replaced the track on the Big Dipper and my good friend, Ron Black, and I had to ride it about 25-30 times in a row to see if there were any misaligned rails. Dizzying but thrilling....

It was a "funtastic" place to work.
