I'm wondering where the sports fields will go? From the looks of it, there isn't a lot of space on the city. -

The employees attitudes are directly correlated to the guests' behavior. One can only be bullied, threatened, yelled at, and cussed out by the park guests so many times before the smiles start to fade. It's normal to be called names and mocked by the guests. My favorite was when some dude called me a "white bitch" while I was working on Joker's Jinx. I've even seen guests attempt to assault the ride ops (and in some cases, they succeeded - I kid you not). Combine that with the nasty heat and the poor wages, and you honestly expect the employees to be cheerful? I only lasted two seasons at SFA, not even two full seasons. Aside from the horrible clientele, the job can actually be fun, which is why some people go back. Here's a tip: try smiling at and talking to the employees. Most are nice kids. Also, when I was there, management held a contest where the employee of the year received a Sebring convertible. You gotta give them some credit, they are trying. Amen to this post. I've been called every name in the book by guest. There are the guest that scream at you when you tell them that their kid did not win a game, they get really pissed. Then there are the awesome guest that you will talk to you for x amount of time and make your job fun. I love my job and love working at DP. Working in games, guest think i know everything and then they get pissed at me for a ride being down.... On the other hand, Stinger at DP was the worst mistake in the world. The coaster has been down more than its been open. The coaster finished its fourth season at the park, and i finished my third this season, and the coaster has been down more than open in my time there. Its every sad actually because i've talked to guest who've come to dorney just to ride stinger.
