Im so excited!!!

I passed my skycoaster test, now im a site controller. It wasnt as hard as i thought it would be. So far 5 of us passed, so that makes 9 all together from people that already took the test before the season started. Today the rest of the crew has to take the test, so hopefully a few of them pass as well. Im just glad it's over with and i passed. I can breathe now.

Congradulations man, mine is scheduled for June 6th (6-6-06 lol), and I hope I'm as successful as you were, I've got the physical part down pat, I'm just worried about the written test part, like questions about maintance and about rolling board platforms. So me and the manual are gonna become very close over the next 2 weeks, lol.

Again, congrats on passing your test.

A Site Controller is someone who is in charge of overseeing all operations at the skycoaster. During all skycoaster operations one must be present. The test includes actually doing all spots on the ride and a 50 question multiply choice test.

As for myself I passed my test with only 4 wrong so I have had my card for about 2 weeks now. Wooooo!

Are you talking about Skycoasters are parks? Like now you are going to work one? If so, that's pretty cool!!

And i'm guessing for Kennywood hence where you live.

A skycoaster is the big swing looking thing a lot of parks have.
Can usually look like This or This.
It's an upcharge attraction and a lot of fun. The tallest one is in Orlando and is 300ft tall. The best looking one is actually at the edge of a cliff. That skycoaster is only 100ft tall, but I think you're something like 1000ft above the base of the cliff.
