A wicked day indeed

I don't know if this person is on PointBuzz or not, but One of the ride ops for Wicked Twister wrote 'have a wicked day!" on our parent swap card along with a scribbled picture of a tornado. I really appreciated that, and it really made a great day even better.

Another big kudos to the staff. This year has been pretty good as far as complimenting the staff goes. Lets see if this holds out until late September ;)

As far as the ride staff goes. It differs greatly once you get into the other departments.

The food service is a little slow and un-service like but other than that-every employee is da bomb!!

I've yet to see a good employee working the counter service food. I was impressed with the Midway Market staff though. They seemed on top of it, but they don't really do to much.

I'm all for the international workers, but if they can't speak more than ten words of English they shouldn't be at a job where they interact with guest.

When I was there on June 15th my friend was in a wheelchair and they wrote "Have a great day!- From the Wicked Twister Crew" on our special ride pass. So they must do it often and it's a great way for them to stand out from other crews.

On MF we used to put the MF logo and "have a great day" on some Parent Swaps... its good to hear the WT crew is doing this as well...

That is a nice touch. Food service has been pretty slow this year based on what I've seen, but the ride staff is great. Haven't had some good experiences with hotel management so far though...

I just do it out of pure boredom cause when you work Exit at WT you only check 4 seats and then sit there for a minute till the gates open and do it again, but anyways hope everyone has a Cedar-fantastic day :-)

On special access booklets I'll cross out the time and make it look like the MF logo and on parent swaps I'll usually write "Best coaster on the planet!" right next to it. I like to have a little fun :).

hmmmm, This may sound like a dumb question, but what is a Special Access Booklet? Is it sort of like Free-Way? OR is that the VIP thing? Sorry if I sound really dumb.

Nothing like this happened to me on my trip...but the ride op's were extremely enthusiastic and fun! I'd like to thank them for their great energy, as it made standing in the station quite fun.

its a book for people who cannot wait inline for a ride...basically if they have a wheelchair or other type of problem that makes waiting in the long lines tough, Park Op gives them a book and the person with the book needs to go to the ride entrance to get a time, for example if its 2:00 and the wait time is 45 min wait...the person at entrance will write down 2:45 on their booklet and once 2:45 rolls around they go to the ride exit and thats how they get on without waiting in line.

Its annoying though working at the load positions and having to hold rows for them and the peope waiting in line dont understand why they get their seats and they make a big scene about it...ive had to deal with alot of people and they just dont get it

Although this may be unrelated to Wicked Twister, I do feel my forthcoming comments are appropriate given the subject of service at the park. The other day I was there and wanted to go eat at Breakwater Cafe because of the JC discount. I go in and make my food order, and I was told by another employee that they could only serve pizza until 4:30 because they don't have anyone to cook. Yet 5 minutes later I saw them bring out salad and other food. I was very irritated and I ended up going to Hotel Breakers restaurant (once I finally found it) and settled for an order of french fries. CP, please learn how to adequately staff your restaurants. Your (potential) future customers will be grateful.

Thanks everyone for your comments about our crew, its guests like you that make all of us want to work at Cedar Point.

Some of you should find this very familer; RAWR. If you had that on your parent swap or special access book let me know.
