Lifelong Dream Come True

Operating the original Knott's Berry Farm Corkscrew.

Ever since I was in elementary school, when I first read about the Corkscrew, I wanted to operate it, work on it's crew in some way. It was a dream, and for the longest time, I knew 100% it would remain a dream, and only that.

But in October of 2007, that dream, started to become a possibility, and that 100% slowly started going into the double digits, and soon, became a single digit. And then in March of 2008, that 100% came back again. However, that 100% wasnt representing a dream, no no. It was representing reality.

It took moving over 1,000 miles from California to Idaho, but...
Mission Accomplished.
Lifelong dream come true.


I was hired by Silverwood Theme Park in the Rides Department on March 15th, 2008. I was told by that department's manager I would be seeing a lot of Tremors, Timber Terror, Aftershock, and yes, the legendary Corkscrew.

Some say dreams cant come true. Some people say lifelong dreams are near impossible to accomplish. Well, looks like I proved those statements wrong.
