Joining in the Insanity

Hey there everyone ... i just wanted to drop a line to introduce myself .... i'm Courtney and i'll be comming down there on Aug 4th to finish out the season ... i believe i'll be working rides ... i'm not sure which one yet ... but i just thought it would be cool if i could meet a few of you so that i might not be as nervous about walking into a place with a million people and not knowing a single soul ... so i'd love to chat ... maybe get a few helpful hints ... otherwise i'll be there in 6 days and counting ... SMILES!!!

Joining In The Insanity? What an excellent phrase to describe working at the park. All jokes aside welcome to the "insanity" you may find things very interesting and you will be making friends in no time. You will also have a lot of fun too bad you did not start earlier in the season. one more thing there may be drama where you work at but don;t worry it comes with the territory.

what would life be if there wasn't a drama-bomb dropped every day or so ... i've learned to live for the explosion ... things would get so boring without it ...

I'll be joining in myself... I leave a week from today (the day after my birthday), and I'll be processing in on either the 21 or 22, after a stopover at Six Flags, Worlds of Adventure. I'm not sure of my location yet, but it will be either rides or sweeping. Look for me out there!
One day back in July I was working over on Wicked Twister down at the entrance with Tedric. If you have ever ridden, tried to ride, or worked on WT you should be aware that there is absolutely no loose item allowed past entrance. This lady came up with one of those huge Spongebobs and Tedric told her that she would have to leave it in a locker or with a non-rider. Of course she pointed out that the lockers there are too small so he suggested the all day bins by Demon Drop. They turned around a walked a few feet away and neither of us thought anything more about it. About ten minutes later, Tedric leaned over to me and said "Oh my god, Jeremy, look what she's doing." This lady and her group had huddled around a trashcan and were proceeding to take the stuffing out of a Spongebob that is bigger than most children under three. Of course it was windy and stuffing was just flying everywhere on the midway. She then walked back up, said "There are you happy now.", and tried to get in line again. Tedric again told her that she could not take any loose items so she argued that she would tuck it in to her belt. Once again he repeated the policy. At that time, I couldn't resist. I chimed up, "Well it will fit into one of those little lockers now." She looked back and forth between us and blew smoke out her nose and turned around and walked away *****ing about paying $42 to get in the park. Quite funny when it happened even though we felt bad for poor, mutilated Spongebob.
