| | | Why not just apply, work for a month, then quit. That way if you enjoy the job, you are not required to quit.

| | | if you work one month at CP you may not want to leave. Amusement Parks have some kind of "draw" to people/workers. or you might go the other way and quit even before you've worked a month.

| | | ^That's what I thought about when I was applying for SFKK. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I might be lucky and get to work on one of the coasters. Well, that definitely changed. I hardly ever worked a coaster this season, but I love my job. I've made some really good friends and I plan on being there for several more seasons.

| | | Something similar happened to me. I thought oh I'll be put on a coaster or a ride where I could say spiels. I found out I was going to be in a childrens area and I said I would work for a month and see if I liked it. Well I didn't like it, I loved it. And now I'm working til the end of the season. The people are great in my area too...we're like a family. I even got a boyfriend.

| | | ^I'm glad you like the kiddie area. I don't enjoy our kiddie area because I just can't stand the parents and the heat down there. If it was only little kids and there was a huge air conditioner near it, then I don't think I'd have a problem.

| | Hopefully I won't have to reapply. I should find out in the next month if they're going to put me on "part time" instead of seasonal at BGT. Basically means I get to keep my job as long as I want it and don't mess up.

I don't think the heiarchy of rides matters much after Blizzard and LTMT, anyway.
Remember, its not about being better than someone else, or better than everyone, its about being the best you can be!

| | | I have to say, working at a theme park is great. I got promoted over the summer and I plan on going back for my 3rd season next year.

| | | Yesterday I found out that I might be coming back as a lead. My supervisor was taking a poll where people wanted to be/where they would be good as a lead. He asked my ATL if she wanted to be in a adult or kids area. Then he told me that I would be good at a coaster. I don't really know where I want to go, but I have a good idea. I can't wait til next season, and this one isn't even over yet.

| | | now i know everyone here wants to admit that foods is just the department to be at! haha and that "draw" that you were talkin about that amusmentparks have on people is that teenagers arent really going to find another job that pays that good and gives that many hours. |

| | | ^Pays that good? Umm, nooooo. Yes, it does give many hours, but the pay isn't all that great.
