You know you're a CP employee when....

These are really good guys!
Here's my 2-cents worth:

If "a night out" means hanging in the rec center rather than your room, you might be a CP employee.
If you know the company training video by heart, you might be a CP employee.
If you're at home and you answer the phone "Thanks for calling Cedar Point, how may I help you?" you might be a CP employee.
If your entire wardrobe consists of nothing but 2 uniforms and 25 different crew shirts you might be a CP employee.
If "I'm gonna go get some dinner" means hitting the vending machine for a ham n' cheese you might be a CP employee.
If you find yourself driving around the mall parking lot offering people rides to avoid parking bans, you might be a CP employee.

Can you really be put on speil probation? Me and steve voorhees checked out a girl on the mic. Yeah that was embarassing! But she was hot, so it really didn't matter. But yeah fathers day is a very interesting day.

I never heard of speil probation...every ride op in the park checks out guests. its a fact of life and makes the day less boring :) I have to agree with Adam Father's Day is VERY interesting to say the least!

I didn't realize the mic was on, and said yeah shes hot. She turned and looked. It wasn't just the normal seat number speil. But it was fun anyway.

I believe there is such a thing as speil violation because the Mine Ride was on it last year.  My crew was almost put on it, Fike agreed with me that some people said some unnecessary things on the mic. Oh well...I know everybody does it :)

As a paddlewheel employee, we were put on spiel probation for a week in 2000...so it does exist.

My Wildcat crew was on it for a week in 2001...it's not fun.

Erin is correct, the Cedar Creek Mine Ride 2001 crew was the first crew of that season to be put on spiel probation.  Meaning that anything we said over the microphone had to be approved by a manager.  All because of a certain person saying certain things when other certain people were around.
Ahh, those were the good old days...

If you look forward to a guest illness or seatbelt to break up the monotony...
If you can count the hours you've slept in the past week on your fingers...
If you like cleaning so you don't have to put up with guests for a bit... 
If you press "9" every time you make a call and pray you will get a line out...
If you look forward to celebrating Christmas in July...
If you've ever gone to Soak City to even your tan lines and come back looking exactly the same...
If you've ever told a guest that they can't bring that purse/bag onto the ride or in line and they tell you it's "ok" because it's not that big..
If you've ever told a guest to stand-up with their feet flat and they give you a blank stare and remain sitting or standing up on their toes...
If you've done everything in your power to get around the parking bans so you aren't stuck on the bus ...

Hey Natalie, Patterson said he'd be a little late, b/c he overslept, but he'll be in as soon as possible. Or he might be at first aid for 4 hours. I forgot.

P>ww, oh sweet sweet FONT face=Verdana size=2>spiel probation.  How I remember that...LOL.  Well I wasn't alone, I was the only one that did it to get us in trouble.  But it was worth it, because I saw the guests faces when I said it and they laughed and loved it.  I'm going to go say here what I said, however if you would like to know, IM me and I'll tell ya.  But those were the times...and I have Fathers Day marked in my planner, but remember, Cedar Point knows nothing about it...  ;-)  /P>

Oncoming riders, we will take you up, down, left, right and unfortunately straight. *followed by riotous laughter from the front car and from fellow employees on the platform*

Oh, you know you are a Cedar Point employee if you stock your control booths with disposable cameras set aside for special guests and their special hairstyles, eh Gemini and Mine Ride?

Speil Probabtion was so frustrating, but so worth it. Father's Day was too perfect for 2001 Gemini Crew. After probation, no one wanted to speil. But we managed to earn the trust again.

If you've ever done the booty call.

When you've had Lady Marmalot stuck in your head for three months you are a Cedar Point Employee.

When guests ask you if you've ever rode the Millinum and all you want to do is roll your eyes and say "um...Hello?."

If every time you here the snoopy theme song you either wince or fondly reminice you might be a cp employee.

If you can manage to make the Camp Bus go backwards, you might be a cp employee...hahha Pugsley :)
