It should be clear by now I love amusement parks, but one thing I never had a chance to do was work at one. Through my contacts at Cedar Point I was able to work an October weekend as a ride host on Wicked Twister. I had so much fun when they asked if I could come back a second weekend, I said of course! I was outdoors, away from computer screens and interacting with people — it didn’t feel like work at all. Three more years of weekend ride op gigs at Top Thrill Dragster and others eventually led to four fun years of weekends escorting VIP tour guests around the park.
