| | | Who has already started???
who has already started their job at an amusement park? How is the season so far? Do you have any good stories to tell? And if you have not started, when is your first day? My first day is May 6th. I can't wait. I gotta go in next friday, saturday, and sunday for training though.

| | | At Six Flags, we say, "Atten' one, two, tree rready, train ih cler, ready fo dispatch". So actually no one knows what we say. I'm working merchandise on most days in summer, which is nice because I get 3-4 hours of time per day to ride (line cutting a three-hour line on Deja Vu; I can hardly wait)

| | | We also refer to the guest riding and in line as cadets.
Sometimes the driver says attendents ready, then we say clear.
When the trains fly over the station we say "Shark/Mavrick has cleared the tower".
