What is your favorite ride to work??

i dont know. ask all the employees that live in the commons apt's. Ask why they do it

this was my 3rd year there and each year everyone wrote on the doors and they never had a problem with it.

I understand why i got fired, but i dont completely agree with it. Seeing it had nothing to do with my work performance

What did you write? Was it offensive?

And still, no one cares. Move on.

Neil, it's not the end of the world. Just let it go, take that line out of your signature because it screams "I want sympathy" (whether or not you do), and, like Jeff said, move on with your life.

Getting back on track --- My favorite ride to work was Wicked Twister. Why? Well, I guess because it's the only ride I ever worked.

i have let it go. Someone simply asked what happened so i let him know. Sorry for answering a question.

If you let it go, why is it in your signature?

In my years as a ride operator at various parks I operated just about every kind of ride there was. To be honest, a coaster was probably not in my Top 10 of rides I enjoyed working. The work is mundane unless you were "driving" and even then computers have taken the fun out of that.

I take that back...I did enjoy the Big Dipper when it was still manual operation.

I think the Kiddie Dodgem cars at Geauga Lake was probably the most fun I ever had on a ride. I used to laugh through my entire shift while these kids struggle to operate those cars. Parents would make me go out and try to get the kids turned around so I'd be avoiding cars (not successfully all the time) and just laughing uncontrollably.

Frankly, I enjoyed all of the kiddie attractions b/c I enjoy kids. The parents, well, I could do without them.

Ive done the midway carosel which is real fun if you like kids. Everyone else didn't seem to care for it.

Ivy! Yeah, you loved that carrousel, whenever you were on demon crew you'd spend almost the whole day over there. By the end of the summer the whole crew was sick of that thing. Carrousel is okay in small doses, but it's that music... it does something to you... I still have nightmares about that music... I really perfered entrance, you get to really interact with people.

i like working maXair because you always know that there isnt gonna be a dull moment. they always have riders and people in line past closing.

I loved it on Magnum then moved to Dragster and I love it even more there.

Sky Ride. One reason: 75's

Too bad 75's are gone... And 55's... And 1090's... The only ones left are 99's, 88's, and 00's...

Its still fun working though. Nice people made my day great, and rude people you only see for 15 or so seconds, so you usually stay in a great mood.

Oh yeah, 75 X! :)

I forgot what a 1090 was. I stink.

Edit: I just remembered what a 1090 was. *** Edited 8/2/2005 4:48:46 PM UTC by bholcomb***

Millennium Force was a lot of fun for me. You had to develop a very thick skin to unruly guests, especially in dealing with the LGs both at Entrance and if you had to ask them to leave from the platform. Other than the late nights and very early mornings and not a whole lot of downtime. it was a lot of fun.

Lackey, is that you?? Alright!

About the Sky Ride ones, I came after the 75's weren't allowed anymore, so I was just used to 99, 88, and 00. I remember reading the list in the dock box at the west station. What was 1090 and 55? Errr, uh....just IM me instead of posting it here.

Jeff Lackey! I miss you man, along with the rest of the crew...

Arrow's are generally fun to work controls at. Iron Dragon

Hmm my fav ride to work is Space Spiral in the cold months cus its the most uneffortless ride there is ...also i cant forget Olga the Swabinchen lady i use to work her alot...hehe she was old but she was still a decent ride.

Well I worked on TTD for 04 season and loved it!

Working on Raptor for Coaster mania was cool, we had reporters and stuff in our faces. Plus the cool buttons we wore. Millenium Force i didn't care for, I hated telling people they were too big to ride. Peanuts playground was easy, so was Ocean Motion, Chaos was just well Chaos! I think i still liked working White water landing, i could boss people around when they had no shoes on, but then I could go be away from everybody in the open air. So really Raptor and White Water Landing was my absolute favorite.

Well to be honest i really loved working Paddlewheel I got to drive a boat and tell really bad jokes what more could a girl ask for?? Snake River falls comes in at a very close second....chute @ snake is so cool!!! i heart chute :) Not to mention those early AM test rides on snake..they would really wake you up haha!
