Of the parks I have attended, Silver Dollar City's staff wins hands down.  They are courteous, friendly, and even funny.  The ride ops are exceptionally entertaining and don't mind talking to you, and they manage to do this while running the rides at a high capacity.  Plus, I've never experienced any of the theme park mentality there, such as having to go thru the line again to reride when there is no wait.  On closing day of 1996, (well, when they close for two weeks for Christmas--that used to be the last day the rides were opened until they decided to run some during the Christmas festival a few years back) I rode Fire in the Hole eighteen straight times before I had to leave.  It was absolutely incredible.  It is amazing how friendly and competent ride ops can help make a good ride a great one.
