Yep, you read that right. On April 9, 2011, when the new season kicked off at most amusement parks, I started working at Bobbejaanland. They say blood is thicker than water. I became a seasonal employee through a temp agency, working until November 6, six days a week.

BJL was celebrating its 50th anniversary at the time, and there was a lot of work underway. The highlight of 2011 was “Dizz,” a new spinning coaster.
