Reality15 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Figured I'd drag this back up... I don't know why, but I'm going back for year number four with Cedar Fair, again at Michigan's Adventure. Finally, I'm in charge of one of the world's greatest wooden roller coasters, Shivering Timbers, the first ever Dinn & Summers woodie, Wolverine Wildcat, and our miniature train, Timbertown Railway. 2010 - Michigan's Adventure - Shivering Timbers TL 2009 - Michigan's Adventure - Logger's Run TL 2008 - Michigan's Adventure - Adventure Falls TL 2007 - Cedar Point - Maverick Crew

kidcoaster 2 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 You can find me on select weekends doing just about everything at Conneaut Lake Park.
linearinduction Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Ride Operator and Trainer for Elitch Gardens in Denver for the 2010 season! I will be in the South section of the park, working on rides such as Twister II, Half Pipe, Boomerang and Tower of Doom. Fingers crossed as well, that I get promoted to unit supervisor, aka area manager. I've got my fingers crossed for you Jordan! I hope I get promoted to a Sup as well, at Cowabunga Bay this Summer. *cough* Shane! *cough* - Sid
moviekid21 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Well, I worked at Universal Orlando for HHN 19, and I'm still there working at Blue Man Group at Box Office. Nothing thrilling like working at an Attraction, but I've done attractions, and as much as I love them, working them just isn't my thing.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I haven't checked recently, but last time I checked KD has an age limit of 15. I'm going to try for Kings Dominion, around May. -Matt
Reality15 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I think all Cedar Fair parks require you to at least be 15. Here at Michigan's Adventure we only have, to my knowledge, six employees under the age of 16, with that position being our "Live Entertainment" department (Snoopy costumed character). You're too young to spend your entire summer working at a park anyways.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 ^but I want stuff, and stuff costs money. I don't mind working a few hours at a park, and then riding some rides before getting picked up.
Goliath513 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Food services at Elitch Gardens this summer.
ECZenith Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I'm still operating attractions on the west side of Disneyland, I still have knowledge on all 3 of my attractions. DL Railroad (since 07) Indiana Jones Adventure (since 08) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (since 09) I absolutely love it too.
dmaxsba2408 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 ^but I want stuff, and stuff costs money. I don't mind working a few hours at a park, and then riding some rides before getting picked up. WOW, never thought I'd see a 14 year old say such things these days. Not that it matters anyone but me, but very impressive! You keep that attitude about wanting stuff and stuff costing money and you are going to make some employer very happy some day.

Yamez Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I don't mind working a few hours at a park, and then riding some rides before getting picked up. I wish it was that easy!

kidcoaster 2 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Just got a spot on the 2010 Ripcord crew at Cedar Point!
99er Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 You are going to love it, Skycoasters are fun to work. Rip Cord always has an awesome crew and working in Challenge Park is a good choice.
Electerik Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 I'm doing my second Disney College Program, and I'm currently a ride op on Expedition Everest. The Yeti says hi. Anyway, come visit me there. I love meeting fellow TPRers! Done.
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Just got a spot on the 2010 Ripcord crew at Cedar Point! Hell to the yeah! I worked there in '07 and '08, and was a team leader in '08. I'm not entirely sure who all is still going to be there from my old days, but you're going to have a blast, guaranteed! ^^Oh, and 99er, that great crew didn't have anything to do with me, did it?
pianojohn Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 2010 will be my 24th year working in parks! ( more or less) This will be my 11th year at Disney playing piano at the Hoop Dee Doo Revue at Ft. Wilderness and Princess Tea Party at the Grand Floridian. Still subbing out at Rising Star at Universal Studios CityWalk as well.
Reality15 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Just got a spot on the 2010 Ripcord crew at Cedar Point!As has already been said, skycoasters are absolutely a blast to work. I almost went back to being regular crew on Ripcord instead of a TL this year, just because it's so much fun.
PKI Jizzman Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 I'm doing my second Disney College Program, and I'm currently a ride op on Expedition Everest. The Yeti says hi. Anyway, come visit me there. I love meeting fellow TPRers! Maybe I'll join you, I got accepted into the Attractions too! I'll be at Diamondback for now!
Emiroo Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 I'll be at Diamondback for now! So what do you tell your crew when guests keep waving and saying, "Hi Jizz Man!" when they see you?
