I haven't seen this in person, but at Great America's Halloween Haunt, there's supposendly a guy who let's you pin or stable money to him. I know times are tough, but I can't believe this. Has anyone seen this? Here's a picture I took from another forum.

 

luckily its a "family establishment" and nothing gets stapled below the belt. now if it were the Jim Rose Circus...

 

wow hints of jackass

 

any job at great america might be considered the worst job at great america

 

it wasnt all that bad there when i worked there but i was in a decent position when i worked there so it was pretty easy

 

i'm sure they are able to find someone that actually enjoys it.

 

Anyone get to see the "Blood Club" ? that is a win.

 

He's soooo going to get the hiv

 

I worked there for a summer when I first turned 16. I was getting paid $5.25/hr to work at the fried chicken place. Nothing sucks more than working 40hrs and only getting a $160 paycheck (which I, admittedly, thought was a lot of money at the time). One word of advice - NEVER eat the food at Great America. What do you think snot-nosed 16yr olds do with food when they're bored and underpaid? Oh man, the stories I could tell.....

Yea, I worked there for one summer back in 1985.. I worked in the arcade handing out quarters...

 

ahhahaha do tell!

 

You just ruined the fried chicken for me.

 

I was just there last Saturday for their Halloween Haunt. The guy in the picture is actually part of a side show (of two people). I think GA pays them two to perform shows (there are other types of shows too). This guy is freakin' hardcore... He walks on glass, does the bed of nails, swallows sword, bend metal rods with his neck, and pierces his skin with needles. All the stuff they do are real. In your picture you're seeing, this is how they collect tips. If you have $2, you can staple it to him with an industrial grade staple gun. I did it cuz I thought it was a good show.

 

Wow, a part of me wished this wasn't true.

 

dayyum OG, i was 1 year old at the time
