To get an insider's taste of the fun-and-games world of working at Keansburg Amusement Park, a reporter spent two straight Saturdays making the rounds with Erik Knutsen, the park's 41-year-old operations manager. It was a drink from the fountain of youth.
Read more and see video from The Asbury Park Press.
The on-camera shtick wasn't for me, but I really enjoyed the writing. To those who've worked parks, I'm sure it's a "well, duh" kind of thing, but kinda cool to get the employees' perspective on things.
Plus, it's Keansburg. I was there before I was old enough to remember it.
Epic fail on the Keansburg PR department for putting that ops guy in front of the camera. Hat on backwards, sunglasses; couldn't appear more like some carney operation to me. No wonder why some of the jersey shore amusement operators get a bad rap. Would it kill you to show a little professionalism?
Fun video. I agree that "the park's operations manager" seemed a little unprofessional. Maybe that's the persona he has to put on to get respect from his employees, I dunno.
