I was wondering is it a fun job to operate coasters and rides?
I know its demanding but would it be a good job to do when you are in college during the summer.
I'm only 13 but I'd love to be a ride op at CP and spend the summer there as soon as I'm in college.
It must be great to be operating the thing you love best.
Any operators here? Whats it like?

Working rides is an experience I will always treasure. I actually met my girlfriend working SOB, I have several friends from around the park that I hang out with, and memories that will last a life time.
I have to agree with tom there. It was always a blast. Then again I left after 2 seasons cause I was going nuts. Plus there was somone zanier than me. That was scary! Hey tom your baby was on the travel channel!

If you enjoy doing very repetative work day in and day out, 6 days of the week, through cold and hot and I mean HOT days, and for more then 40-50 hours per week then by all means please do so.
I've worked 2 summers at Kennywood and have met alot of great people there but I have also met alot of bad people as well. You also get a better understanding of how a park functions. This could good or bad. What you thought a place was doesn't always turn out to be that way.
