Officially, I shall not be returning to Cedar Point. My application was put on the no-rehire list and I have been not only precluded from working at the point, but also participating in the "Alumni Alley" thing on the official site.
To the newest leaders of Gemini-- you will never be as good as we were this past summer. Not to be cocky or presumptuous, but we epitomized everything notorious about the ride ten-fold these past two summers. I managed to instill bad attitude, dark humor, sardonic wit, laziness, backstabbing, apathy, ass-kissing, glad-handing and schmoozing. We lived like rock stars these past two summers and ran the ride accordingly. The end of me and Amy on the Gemini marks the passing of Kipp's legacy.
It marks the end of what made the Gemini special as we employees know it.
And I give to you my final spiel--
"Welcome back riders, I really don't care how your ride was, nor will I ever. I still love you though, don't get me wrong! It is your money that pays me and thusly, fills my heart with warm joy. Enjoy the rest of your day here at Cedar Point, worker's paradise--concentration camp with rockin' country beats. Please ride again because your glowing faces serve as a constant reminder of the gratifying effects of money, a reminder which keeps me from walking off and pursuing my music career. Kiss off, go to park ops and tell them I sent you. My name is Daniel."
Stylin' all the way.

"As far as I can tell it doesn't matter who you are. If you can believe, there's something worth fighting for..." - Garbage, "Parade"
I walked off after being yelled at for something that was the fault of maintenance. I have nothing wrong with loud criticism per se, but when upper management starting name-calling and attacking my character for something that wasn't my fault, I felt little need to stick around. I admit opening on time is important, but when the maintenance men take half an hour to arrive after call, I certainly don't undertand how this makes a person "stupid" and "inept." They made it abundantly clear just what they thought of me after I saved their collective asses on innumerable occasions. My attitude WAS nice. I am NOT an acerbic misanthrope but rather, a philomath who thinks logically and dishes it out where it is served.
As for my spiel, what I wrote down was par for the course. We weren't in it to blow sunshine up people's asses; we were there to make people laugh. Our success at this can be traced not only to our consistently high ridership and several guest compliments, but also to my fan club.
I really enjoyed the job and put forth a lot of effort. The memories I have from Cedar Point are mostly lovely, especially knowing that I was able to be a part of a crew that not only did a good job, but also had a lot of fun.
I think enjoying a job is important and I am sure that you would agree, Jeff. I wish that it had not been made intolerable.
Warm regards,
Dan
