So last season, I worked in reservations for about a month - I had to go home because of a family emergency. I did have some fun while I was there, although it took me nearly the entire month to get used to it there - I did end up having fun and being sad to leave all of my friends when I did leave. I didn't care much for working in reservations, and I reapplied for this season, in hopes of getting a job in a different department, because i think that it has potential to be very fun, it just takes some getting used to - now that I know what to expect as soon upon my arrival this season, am i crazy to give this a second shot, when I was kind of iffy even before the family emergency came up? and where would you all (everyone who has worked past seasons) suggest working? I applied to work as a ride host, traffic (i had a roommate who worked there and she seemed to like it) and then merchandise.. i feel like everyone i knew who really enjoyed their job the most worked as a ride host..yay, or nay?
yay!
I had a lot of friends that were ride hosts, and they had a blast working. There are always going to be those days that suck, but that is pretty much with any job. I was a ride host for a bit, and what I liked so much about it was that it was fast-paced, you kept busy, and because you were so busy you never really had time to get bored, and time tended to fly by. So it was really a blast. My favorite part about working at CP, though, was meeting everyone. If you are a part of a roller coaster crew, you'll get really close to them because you work with them all the time. It has the potential for drama, but it's what you make of it.

I've worked two seasons as a Ride Host and I've loved them both! If I didn't love it I wouldn't be returning for a third year. You'll have your good days and your really awful ones...but in the end its a great season.You will get very close with your crew,they'll be your summer family.It'll be hot,and guests will be horrible,but for some crazy reason its all worth it in the end :)
