Fun rides to work

I found Camp Bus a little difficult to opperate due to the speed knob. I worked the CB at CP. , and it's controls may differ from the one at WOF.
Yeah, the speed knob is a little tricky. I also had to work Road Rally, which was right across the path. Camp Snoopy at WoF is in a secluded area so sometimes there are a lot of kids and then there are times when it is down right dead back there - so it could get awful boring at times.

"it always seemed to me that the ops on Tower Of Terror had a lot of fun being spooky."
That's what I was thinking. The people that do that ride really get into it (which is a good thing).
This site is really interesting:

Enjoy your stay in our hotel...
I walk about four blocks to the subway. From there it's about a 20 minute ride into downtown Chicago, where I walk about six blocks to the building I work in.

I don't see how running a food stall gives you info on how to manage a park.

Can we just drop the M:TR talk, please? Enough is enough, seriously. Col Sanders, your last comment was really not funny at all.

Colonel,
You don't get hired into the CEO position at a theme park chain off the street. Dick Kinzel spent many years working all kinds of different roles at Cedar Point before becoming the President and eventual CEO of CedarFair, if I remember my "history" right...

LG - what exactly does "GONCHAR" refer to?
Just a silly nickname I picked up along the way. Actually I always had very long fairly light brown hair, when I shaved into my "long haired mohawk" and died it black back in 1996 one of my best friends said I looked kind of like a hockey player named "Gonchar" - it was funny. The name kind of stuck. I like it, very powerful and almost barbaric. Then I began writing for a wrestling board in 1998. It was an opinion site with attitude so as a writing name I added the "Lord" and Lord Gonchar has just stuck. I also always use the name as a performing name anytime I do anything with music (another of my passions) and believe it or not had interest from the urban division of a major record label as "Lord Gonchar".
It's to the point where more people in life know me as Gonchar or Lord Gonchar ("Gonch" to friends) than know me by my real name. It's just fun.
EDIT - I also almost used the moniker when I wrestled on the western PA indy circuit in 1996/1997 but the fed I primarily worked for didn't really like the gimmick. I'm not exactly big enough of a guy to pull off "Lord Gonchar" as a wrestler.
Yes, I've done a bunch of weird stuff with my life to this point :)

That wasn't the point. I asked how running a food stall would help you gain information on running a themepark. It doesn't. I never said that you just get hired off the street. But you don't need to work in a food stall to learn how to manage a theme park.

LG - your story is a lot more interesting than mine. "Mamoosh" came from one of my nephews who, at about age 3, had trouble saying my name. Uncle Matthew would come out "Uncoo Mamoosh." I was looking for a temporary user name for rec.roller-coaster and choose Mamoosh, but it stuck. I resisted it at first, but embraced my "mamooshness" when I got my vanity plate.

I'm saying, if you want to own your own theme park starting from scratch, you would have to learn about everything in the theme park business if I'm correct. Eerything in the theme park business would include-Ride management, ride maintainance, advertise, how to make differnet foods, themeing, etc.
That's what I mean when i say everything in the theme park business.
No one owns their own theme park starting from scratch. And a ceo doesn't own the company.
