I wish I worked at an amusement park. For now, I still work at ACE and not the coaster club, the hardware store. :D

Bah, Gemini is better. :)

You'll have a ton of fun on Raptor though, enjoy the night transfers. Also make sure the train is parked FULLY into the station before you try to move the transfers (Otherwise it just won't move for no appearent reason)

That's awesome! Congratulations, I wish I could work at a theme park, but I'm too young and live too far away. :(

Their housing on-point are the red buildings right by Wildcat, very crappy, it's the old hotel, and there's no air conditioning at all. Off-point, they are just like dorm rooms.

That's kind of neat. Do any other amusement parks have the option of living there or is Cedar Point the only one?

There is housing available if you work at SFGAm, it is just usually the internationals. They stay up at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI.
I can't stop thinking about you, but I still hate you!!

Congrats coasterinsane, you're about to have one of the coolest job of your life, unless you manage to work with Chuck Norris.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

I just got a job at Great America. I'm 15 so I am working games. Next year though, I'm going to be a ride operator! I'm going to have a blast working games though they said. So I'm excited!

Im working at SFGAm as soon as the season starts for rides... I dont know which one yet because I still have to go to my training.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

I work on Opening day too.

Do you get to choose which ride you want to operate? Does it change day to day?


I have my training on Feb 28th

I'm pretty sure they assign you to a ride, but I am not positive. When I was hired they assigned me to my attraction.

For those who have worked there, which rides are easy or fun to run and which ones aren't?

V2 has to be fun and easy to operate. V2 has to defenantly be fun to operate. When I become a ride op, I want to operate Déjà Vu and/or V2

Those little marshmallow treats you get at Easter time. I don't know what it has to do with operating V2 in an unsafe manner, trying to injure people though. :wink:
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
