The ideal job....

Well, I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed recently. What would be everyone's ideal ride, roller coaster, show, food stand, etc. to work at?

Personally, I really enjoyed working the Go-Karts, but I wouldn't mind working Magnum.

Thunder Canyon for me! It's in the sun and it would just be really fun to work on a water ride! I also just love that ride!

Maybe Top Thrill Dragster

Wicked Twister Duh!!!;) Love that ride!

Magnum is a lot of fun to work but is a very physical ride. You've got to be on top of your game also to run controls.

Magnum is a "very physical" ride?

Ha!

The Western Cruise or the Weight Guessing Games.

(Of course, I worked the guessing games and was a jungle cruise skipper...so maybe I'm biased.)

The thing about that attraction and game is that, short of live entertainment, they are places where you are somewhat free to do what you want to do from a performing standpoint. You aren't tied down.

If you want a "very physical" ride, you don't want a coaster. I think the 2 point to point rides in the park would be the only ones that can be considered "very physical"... And the train only if you're in the engine house.

The other point to point ride is my ideal job at the park.

I'd love to work anywhere on Top Thrill Dragster. Preferablly the guy checking the restraints who also does the mic cuz I'd really be popular with the crowd and liven them up :)

^ I accept your Challenge!! I rocked LOAD 3

Raptor, Maggy, or Mavvy... Rap and Mag always seem to have great crews and actually enjoy the time... and i'm willing to bet Mav will have a great crew too.

MaXair! Everyone knows Huss rides are the most fun to work on.

I worked Wicked Twister for the 2006 season and it was so much fun. I am hoping that I get to operate it next season as well.

MaXair! Everyone knows Huss rides are the most fun to work on.

Looks like they have too much fun, as that loading time is horrible!! :)

After working Magnum this season, I would return to work a ride that allows you stack trains -- and yes, you do have to be on top your game to get those 1500 hours!!

Trust me, when you have to place almost everyone's loose articles in the bins for them on maXair, your loading time isn't going to be that great either.

The maXair crew always seems to have a lot of fun even while doing their job, which is why I loved riding that ride these past two seasons and really want to work there next season, if and when I get hired. :)

^Greg, I couldn't count the number of people I rode by this year that wore flip flops. I tried helpin you guys out by warning them that they would want to take them off before they put down the restraint, but half the time, they didn't pay attention, only to have one of you come around and tell them that you had to put them in the bins. C'mon folks, it isn't even basic physics, its just common sense.

I know not at CP, but at KI I loved sitting in the squirting tower on White Water Canyon, much like Thunder Canyon if you haven't been. You really just sit there and squirt people with the geysers.

Huss rides are just difficult to run efficiently by their design. Ask anyone who has worked on MaXair, Delirium, Tomb Raider, etc. For the most part, they are designed effectively, but it's just difficult to maintain a decent capacity hour by hour for some reason.

As much as I loved Dragster's load 3, Launch has to be the absolute best position to work at any ride a CP...Once a minute you press two buttons, you're in the aircon and you can read random things left in the control room, my favorite 'a guide to personal flotation devices.' Oh, and you have the arm's down button...what could be better?
