Mid-1950s. An adult operating the Octopus on a busy weekend

"I started working at Playland when I was fourteen, around 1951 or '52. I worked there through high school. I'd go to work at 1 PM and get off around 1 or 2 AM. I worked seven days and six nights a week during the summer months," said Orv Brost. In the background is the waiting line and entrance to the Dipper ride. Photo donated by Nina Fraley.
