Knott's Berry Farm Summer '04; Ghost Town & Calico Railroad, because I got shafted out of working Supreme Scream - they overbooked and had to transfer me.

I worked at Dorney one season, and I worked mostly at Talon. I got shifted around when staffing was bad for some days at the Cedar Creek Cannonball (the red train), The waveswinger, Screamin Swing, and Thunder Canyon. I was at the Cedar Creek Cannonball for 2 weeks during the summer because I had a knee injury.

Busch Gardens Tampa. Pretty much limited to Rhino Rally, though I have also done Cheetah Chase.

Not sure I'd want to move to another ride as I have to much fun at Rhino. I really like the spieling and interacting with the others on the ride, which is something that you just don't get to do on most rides.

The only park I've worked at is Cedar Point.

I'm not in rides so question 2 is not valid for me.

The only rides I can think of that I would want to work would be Blue Streak, Calypso, and Turn Pike Cars. That whole little area seems to be isolated from the world. I love being where the action is in merch, but I don't think I would in rides.
