lololololol!!!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Do I even want to know?

Anyways, I wouldn't be suprised if they had "We Like to Party" in the Terror Twister mix this year. It's perfect for that ride (at least better than Cotton Eye Joe).

I really don't think there is such thing as an "Easy" ride to operate. Each ride has their share of difficulties.

However, there may be rides where there is less operating involved (flumes and rapids) and some a little more complex.

Anyways I do know for sure that you don't get to "choose" which ride(s) you want to operate. You may want to run a ride, but that doesn't mean you would. Plus you have to pass tests, so you can't really be a bum of the streets and expect to become a ride op the next day.

^ Yeah, that is one thing that most people forget. All those ride ops have to pass a test to work the ride. So you can't be completely stupid and be a ride-op.

There is a kid at my church who used to be a ride op and he told me one of the answers on the test.

Q:If an unauthorized worker shows up on the platform what do you do?
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.

And the answer is: You first tell him to leave. If he or she won't leave you close the ride and call security.

Who me? No way it literally is a five second drive away from there. It is to the east (I think) it is hidden in the trees.

^You should put this in your signature. "Na Na Na, Hey Hey Goodbye Topic."

Back To Topic: I think that everyone would know that the workers switch positions, and are told where to go. However, I would have to believe that most employees who actually work there would have a favorite ride or rides to work. I would hate to work on Roaring Rapids because you would have to wave to the train all the time.

Sorry to tell you this, but if you work at one ride, like a fun ride like bull, you also have to work boring rides sometimes, like the bumblebees , because i saw the same worker from the bumblebees at rb one time.

Uhm, they're on different sides of the park. Ride ops rarely move out of their area of the park unless they're either liked or have been there for a long time...also most ride ops are trained at kiddies before the bigger rides.
