Area 3 ride host questions!!

Hey everyone, I got assigned to a water ride today in area 3! :) I was wandering since the water ride won't be as long hours as some of the other rides that are opened longer, will I be on another ride too? For more hours? Just curious, thanks!

Chances are, you'll close the ride, then head to luminosity to work "traffic" there. It's not known if water ride hosts will be doing that again this year, but that's what it was like last year.

You can also get extra hours by being a sweep or working in some other department. Park Operations has an extra hours form that you can fill out and they'll help you from there :)

Haha ok do they move people sometimes throughout the season? Or are you on the ame ride the whole season lol

You're on the same ride all season, but there are times when you'll cross-train at other attractions when they're short a person or something like that. Also, occasionally, at the beginning of the season, people will have their "home" ride changed. It's rare, but it happens.

Haha ok I just wasn't sure lol I am on shoot the rapids and in my interview he asked if I would be up for moving rides throughout the season and I said yes. Cuz shoot the rapids isn't open as much as the other rides right? Haha

When I worked there, it wasn't all that rare for people to get trained at other ride locations and kept there the remainder of the season. You will definitely be able to get cross trained, especially if you tell your manager you would like to work through your split shifts (or work later).

I feel like I repeat this story all the time but, my first season I was contracted to Blue Streak, however when I got to the park, I ended getting sent to Cad Cars because they were short a person. After a couple days, someone from Twister didnt want to be there so they sent me over and I ended up staying at Wicked Twister for the rest of the season. I ended up getting cross trained at Windseeker for a weekend and I worked Blue Streak for a week. Towards the end of the season, I was asked if I wanted to transfer to Raptor for the rest of the season, but I said no. So it can happen. I know people who asked to get moved and they'll get switched. It just depends. They probably wont move you just because you dont like your ride, but if you show something they think could be beneficial to a different ride or if you have problems with your current crew.

Haha ok cuz i know shoot the rapids isnt open as long as the coasters

Correct. And there's always somebody that is itching to get off early that works non water rides, so you could take their spot for the night. Just communicate with your supervisor and/or manager. You just have to speak up, because more than likely they aren't gonna come to you since there's a lot of people working in each ride area of the park.
