I think I would want to be in the games too, as that would also be fun. Or, I would want to be in the scenery department. That would be cool.

I'd want to sell the On-Ride Photos

I use to want to be a ride host but not anymore. I like working with money, and I like buisness. I have more reasons but thats the jyst of it.

If I was to work in any other dept than the one I'm in though, I think I'd have to go either, Traffic/Tolls, or...

Well I can't think of any other, I really like my job now.

I would want to be a sweep. It'd be nice to be able to be outside and moving all the time.

I would work maintenance or security for the thought that i cant stand the trouble makers that come to the park and i enjoy the freedom of walking around and enjoying a smoke.

I have done mostly rides almost all the time but I have done merchandise and have filled in at admissions. This year If I decide to return back to the ranks. I would consider maybe something a bit different. Security, Photos, maybe even somewhere in the office. although I love being outdoors. It a tough choice I guess it comes down to what is offered.

I'd have to say Public Service (security). Then I get to deal with people that are causing problems in the park. Other choices would be Games or Maintance. Departments I wouldn't want to be in would be Foods, Parking Lot or the people that have to clean everything.

Already did the Games thing, but if I had to choose another department to go into, I'd go into the office.

Well, I'm not in rides. I work in environmental services. If I chose another department, it'd either be marketing or possibly night maintenance.
