I worked for Six Flags in 1979 & 1980. Minimum wage in NJ was $1.65.

A nephew and niece have birthdays on Dec 5th, another niece on Dec 19. Growing up everyone bought birthday gifts while Christmas shopping, so they never missed out. My daughters were born Jan 3rd. For some reason, they always seemed to get the short end of the stick. I guess everyone figured...

I had the same problem. I'd been a member for over 10 years, then realized I hadn't gotten a survey in a while. Went to log in and couldn't. Many emails were answered with information that had no relation to the problem I was having. Their customer service was horrible. I was never able to log...

We did a day at TL, I think it was Sat, 6/3. We got there around 9:45 and walked up to where they were holding people. I think they were actually a couple minutes late letting people go because the path to the left of us went a minute or 2 earlier. They finally blew a horn and our keepers let...

at 9 and 7 my kids liked BB's Ski Patrol area. We'd set up camp there so the kids could run around that area, then they could go out to the lazy river, wave pool, and slides. They hated the wave pool at TL until they were big enough/strong enough swimmers to get out into deeper water. They liked...

Mine were quite confused when they were younger. Their birth certificates have the exact same time on them, so according to the state, neither of them is older! I had an emergency c-section and each baby had their own team so they really were born within the same minute. There were several other...

My husband the master carpenter, who'd been a carpenter for 20+ years at the time, was sitting on a roof cutting shingles with a knife. To close the knife he'd bang it against a shingle. He somehow forgot to put a shingle down and hit the top of his leg. Buried the knife, which was covered with...

Having to wear dresses or skirts to school. Separate PE and health classes. The phone numbers with letters were around in the late 60's- early 70's.

We haven't been to either in a few years, but my kids always preferred BB to TL when they were 4. They felt the kid's area at TL was for babies, while at BB they had a lot of things to do in Ski Patrol. They really liked the ice floes that they tried to walk across the pool on and the slides...

Yes, 5 plus the baby is fine.

Definitely BB with your kids ages. They'll love Ski Patrol and your older one can do most of the bigger slides as well. Be careful of the wave pool at TL. The bottom of the pool is very rough and you will get scraped up when you hit it. My kids hated it until they were old/tall enough to stay...

I had the same problem. I taught for a year at a charter school that closed. There was no way to contact anyone from the school to verify employment. I called the state Dept. of Education and their records showed every year I'd taught in that state. They were able to send me a letter stating...

For 8 & 4 yr olds I'd go with BB. They have an area called Ski Patrol that's designed just for kids from 4-12ish. Plenty for them to do in there and you can get in the water with them in part of the area. I'd stay away from the wave pool at TL until the kids are bigger/better swimmers. The...

You might be alright with a 9 year old. I think my older kids were between 9 and 12 the first time we tried TL and they all enjoyed the shark pool. The only complaint they had was the water is cold. They keep it colder to keep the fish happy. It's not freezing, but it is definitely colder then...

Tramp didn't give me points. I got Congratulations! You have received 5 additional entries in the Disney Movie Rewards Dog Days of Summer Sweepstakes.

We tried TL's kiddie area with various combinations of kids when they were around 4/5 (we have a big family). All of them informed me that the kiddie area in TL was "for babies". There really wasn't much for bigger little kids to do, it was all designed more for toddlers. Now we haven't been to...

With a 9 and 4 year old I'd say BB is the better park for you. Check out the Ski Patrol area, it's designed for kids from about 4-12ish. Plenty to keep them busy in there most of the day. BB also has a family raft ride that's a little better, with the added plus of not having to carry your own...

We had an Expedition for years. I'd still be driving it if my dh hadn't gotten hit head on and totaled it. It had 3 bench seats, so room for 9, with room behind the 3rd seat for groceries. We got the Expedition in 2004 because we had 6 kids and I was tired of the fighting in the mini van every...

If I had to pick one water park with small kids it would be BB. The wave pool at TL tends to be a bit much for small kids. Mine always hated it until they were old enough to stay in deeper water, where they could avoid getting knocked down and scraped up on the rough bottom of the pool. The one...

I refused to pay the prices the instrument rental company wanted. They're the only option and they take full advantage of it! The band teacher sent me to the closet city to check out pawn shops. He gave me a list of what not to buy and what brands he really liked. We lucked out and found one at...
