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.

I work at Paramount Carowinds.

Rides Worked-
Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion
White Water Falls
Action F/X

I work at Lake Compounce rides I have operated in my 5 years their are....Thunder Rapids, Sky Ride, Lakeside Trolley, C.P. Huntington Train, Carosuel, Bumper Cars, Musik Express, Wildcat roller coaster, DownTime, Wave Swinger, Boulder Dash roller coaster, Ferris Wheel, Saw Mill Plunge, American Flyers, Pirate Ship, Zoomerang roller coaster, Little Dare Devils, Flying Elephants, Drum Circus, Garfeild's Drop Zone, Fantasy Carosuel, Kiddie Swings so I believe that brings me to a total of 22 rides.

As for some rides I'd like to operate would be Mammoth Falls or the new ride for 2006 Thunder n' Lightning, but their are few rides I have yet to operate at the park. But I would like to operate a launch coaster like TTD or Kingda Ka.

I worked at Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach, FL for 4 seasons. I was fully trained on all the rides there, and the only girl allowed to run the coaster, and one of only 5 people allowed to run the ride by themselves.

I spent 5 years at Universal and was fully trained on Kong, Quake, and Jaws at USF, and Hulk, Dragons, Bluto's, P-Flyers, Trike Encounter, and Discovery Center at IOA. I was partially trained on just about every ride in both parks. I liked doing different things, so when a ride was short staffed, and my home attraction was overstaffed, I usually volunteered to head over to the short attraction, and ended up being able to jump into at least one rotation at each attraction.

Oh yeah, I spent 4 months at Journey to Atlantis at Sea World Orlando. I do not miss being at that park at 6 AM to blow leaves off the sidewalk AT ALL.

Where: Knott's Berry Farm

When: Summer '04

What: Ghost Town & Calico Railroad

I used to work at EPCOT working the Living Seas and Soarin'. I can still pick up shifts there but I don't do it very often.

If I would work any attractions at Disney, I'd choose Tower of Terror or Jungle Cruise.

Hey you were there in Spring 2005 as well! Awesome. That's when Soarin' was first coming out. Wow, I really hope you didn't have to work entrance to the ride when they had restricted access. I remember going to the Cast Member Preview and there was like 3 people working entrance. All these families walked up and said they wanted to get on Soarin', and were denied since they weren't Cast Members. So they started yelling and complaining, while I just walked by the chaos, flashed my card and got on the ride. Sucked for those entrance hosts getting yelled at the whole day, as well as the days they only allowed DVC members, and then season pass members to ride.

Also in that same Spring, I went with some Chatham peeps to ride Living Seas. Can't say I was a fan, but I do remember one part. There's a section where they did a showing or something, and then they announce these doors will be opening and to stand clear. Well there was a toddler who didn't understand the directions, and when everyone turned to the doors, all we saw was the door burst open, and cracking this small child smack dab on the head, and the kid flying a couple feet and falling over. Everyone in the room gasped and let out a "Oooooohh" until the mother grab the child trying to prevent him from crying. I can still hear that loud crack from the point of impact.
