Drove those old trams up and down, up and down at 7 mph in the '80 and '81 seasons.  Sometimes driving north there would be a breeze of about 7 mph coming from the south off Table Rock Lake.  That meant you couldn't feel any breeze while driving the tug and on a summer day the tug's engine would make it HOT!  Now, nearly 40 years later after all that tram driving and conducting,  when I have people in my car I still sometimes want to say: "Watch your head on the low ceiling."

I worked in the parking lot at SDC when the fatality on FITH occurred.  It was a sad time at the park.  What made it even more painful was that SDC management were practically fanatics about safety.  Safety was continually preached and practiced.
