Question: what's the difference bewteen a ride attendant, ride operator and a ride host?

Just different names. Some parks have ride attendence check seats and ride ops run controls. CP calls everyone rides hosts and anyone who passes the test can work controls. I'm sure there are other variations out there.

Going to be at Rhino Rally at BGT. Doing the paperwork tomorrow, so we'll have to see what exactly they give me, but fairly sure I'll be a driver.
