Theme Park Babylon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578570297)

"The memo just came out ... everything's gone crazy."

Spend a bad day with new employee Dale and his behind-the-scenes mentors in amusement park rides maintenance as they make no attempt to salvage the remaining ragged dignity of this family-owned amusement park, a self-described mashup of birthday party and torture chamber, where animals run for their lives, ride safety is questionable at best and the water is always polluted.

"I had no thoughts or memories of Burkewood Fun Park that did not include something horrific, bizarre, stupid or dangerous. I was dead inside."

And learn the secret of stepping off a moving Carousel without killing yourself.
