it probably depends on where you work and how your crew is. i had a lot of fun working at kennywood. i was in kiddielnad (land of the devil children) but it was still fun. sometimes i would go and extra out in the big park at different rides if they needed an extra to help out. if your a minor you get at least 2 days off a week and if your not, you get like 1 day off a week. thats not bad cause you can make a lot of money if you get enough hours. And your bonus at the end of the season gets bigger with the more hours you work. And if your friend didn't have fun, they must not have had a fun crew. you have to make it fun. and besides if you want a day off you can request the day you want off before the scheduel is out, and they allow you to request up to 10 days vacation time. you have to get it approved though. And you get into the park free anytime. Cheaper food in the employee cafe and discount tickets for your friends. You can't forget all that stuff. and if you work during fright nights, the pay goes up i think ( i forgot how much it was though) but working during Phantom Fright Nights is always fun. I worked in the cemetery scaring the ******* out of people. You should just try it for a summer and see what its like before you judge by what your friend is saying.
Oh yeah there are also ways to make a little extra money, you know how kennywood has parades, well to get out of working in your department for a few hours, you can sign up for the parades they have. i think its like a few dollars each time you are in the parade. I was in the Fall Fantasy parade. It was fun, i got out of kiddieland once again. it's like a little break for the day you just have to walk and wave at people.
and one more thing, kennywood always be havin game days where they play softball or flag football or deck hockey. Supervisors against employees and there are prizes and contests. And they have grove parties in the grove area of kennywood for employees. i didn't go to any but i hear they are kind of fun. something to do after park hours.
