How do you know that? Did you work at Kennywood? You could say that about any position.

Congratulations, though. You sound really excited. Jack Rabbit should be a fun ride to operate. I've heard operating classics is a blast.

At first i didn't like talking into the mics either but i got over that after my first or 2nd week. It's really nothing.

Most big coasters you don't really have to talk. They have automatic spiels. You really have to talk every now and then to tell people to get off the rails.

I like kiddieland I am not one for big speeches and I had to give a rather long tour spiel back at SFNE on the old mono. I am glad you got the ride you wanted because it can make for a long day if you don't like a particular ride. Have fun!

(In 1950's talk, black & white movie) Narrator: "The Kennywood employee is gay to be working not in Kiddieland but at the Racer and Jack Rabbit.(shows worker manually operating coaster brakes. The Cleaver Family smiles getting off the coaster.)"

Just a random thought.

Any TNer getting to work a rollercoaster is pretty cool.

Well I work for (PKD) I been this my 4th year, I wanted to know did you have to stay in kiddie land when you first started off?

I know when I 1st started the ride managers asked us to pick a ride and I did just that. I picked a major rollercoaster, there is no way I can picture myself in kiddie land lol , I love talking on the mic and dealing with Guest issues at that ride lol=]

What ride do you operate sirius_kid?

I work at Volcano

well yeah but i got to extra at a couple rides if they needed help throughout the season and i put my name on the transfer list like the 2nd week the park opened but they never transfered me, so i just extra'd as many times as i could to get out of k-land. There was like 30 people on the transfer list from k-land thats why they didn't transfer me.

Kiddieland isn't that bad if you have the right attitude about it. Of course any ride is like that, I guess. Maybe my problem is that i like kids! lol

i don't like kids. I think they are cute and funny at times but when i have to pick up 20 kids breakin my back chasing them all around, strapping them in only to find that 3 other kids had jumped out to find another color seat, yelling at the parents to stop opening the gate and letting 30 more kids on without me saying it's ok, Bad kids that don't want to get off the ride so you have to literally pull the kids off, etc..... i don't like them. Kiddieland made me not want to have kids at all. Too much work. It was like a vacation when i would go and extra out in the big park. What they do out there is not considered work to me. It's nothin compared to K-land. Thats why i am sooooo happy i transfered. All i'll be doing is sitting half the time on controlls or walking back and forth to check lap bars. and at the jack rabbit i don't even have to touch the bar cause they slide into the seat. All i gotta do is look to see if they buckeled their seat belt. Thats NOTHIN.
