January 9, 201412 yr In my many years around parks, I have been very impressed watching both Pat Koch of Holiday World and several CEO's of Paramount Parks stop and pick up paper or quietly help a guest without a word as to who they were. I'd like to tell you similar stories about the former FUN Chairman and CEO...but I can't. I can tell you I've seen Matt Ouimet interact with guests...and I was very impressed. No trash nearby to pick up, though!
January 9, 201412 yr Dick was commonly found alone on the midways at Cedar Point picking up trash. Seemingly with nowhere to go with one goal of picking up napkins and cigarette butts. People ripped him on PointBuzz for it.
January 9, 201412 yr Kinzel was found of alot of other ridiculous stuff too... I could rant for hours
January 9, 201412 yr Even Kings Island, for ANY employee, urges to gesture with an open hand rather than pointing. Anyone that has gone through Cedar Fair orientation will know this. But Kings Island doesn't enforce it like Disney does. Trust me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk

Trust me They do, however, capitalize Kings Island, which is a registered trademark of Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, Cedar Fair LP, or its affiliates.
January 9, 201412 yr Probably unknown to many guests there are underground tunnels spanning the property. They are actually at ground level, with the park built over them. It's on my bucket list to go inside them even though they're nothing fancy. http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/wdw/magickingdom/Secrets/General/Underground.html my brother was working on a degree for culinary down in Orlando, so during that time, he worked as a chef inside Cinderella's castle. He also got to see the tunnels and he said it's nothing cool but it's amazing how they do stuff like that. Also here is some fun little facts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og3ugAs64L4

But Kings Island doesn't enforce it like Disney does. Trust me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk We former Disney CMs surely remember that the 'Disney Way' of pointing requires the use of the fore and middle fingers. In some cultures, pointing with one finger is considered rude and offensive. If you want a MK tunnel tour, you can pay about $150 for one through Disney. Trust me when I say there's nothing worth seeing there that justifies the cost. Locker rooms, the cafeteria, the underground trash system, a costume staging area and the Ops center for the park.
January 9, 201412 yr Yeah 150 to see trash, people out of costumes or where they eat.. I want to go behind the scenes of like Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Mission Space (I wanna see how that centrifuge thing works haha), ect.. Not trash
January 9, 201412 yr (Do I dare tell him Terp toured nearly 100 kitchens at Universal Escape Florida as part of...oh, never mind...with a Disney Chef, too!)

January 10, 201412 yr ^sounds good, how do I apply? haha seriously though...working at Disney would be such a wonderful experience I think
January 10, 201412 yr I try not to have any regrets but I turned down the college Disney program to "intern" for a semester at WDW... Would have been an experience! Oh well life has turned out well though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 10, 201412 yr I did, too. They wanted me to miss a whole semester of college. I wasn't going to do that. It worked out.

Oh well life has turned out well though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's how my wife and I worked at Disney. One day we will do it again as well. ^sounds good, how do I apply? haha seriously though...working at Disney would be such a wonderful experience I think It is. Pay may not be much but money doesn't buy happiness. Also you get discounts all over Orlando Just for being a cast member. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk
January 10, 201412 yr False money buys happiness... It got you a season pass to create memories yes? Thrills connect
January 10, 201412 yr Those cars aren't temporary happiness to me.. V8 turbo noises Turns every male into a giggling schoolgirl
January 10, 201412 yr The next WRX won't even have a boxer rumble. Unequal length headers will be gone.
January 10, 201412 yr Author I'd love to work at Disney, even if just for for a little while. And even though my dream job is to design coasters, I would definitely let my career take me to Disney. We actually have a family friend who works for Disney. I'm not sure exactly what he does but I think part of his job involves being part of the planning/design for future attractions. Right now he's at Disney in Tokyo and he loves it. If anyone could be able to help me know ways to get into the industry it would be him. I would definitely be happy with a job like his.
January 10, 201412 yr Turbo moved to low front. It's a power thing. See also 2014 Forester XT. And no longer Impreza WRX STI. Just WRX STI. January 14, 2014 at NAIAS is the intro.
January 10, 201412 yr Just went to the Subaru website, just a few days till you actually figure out what it all looks like, interesting. I'm still waiting for the BRZ to get an STI or turbo upgrade from the factory. If built right those cars are monsters EDIT: I lied, it's leaked...OOOOooo it's pretty

Not trash Club 33 members often get these opportunities, but for us common folk, about the only way to see that kind of stuff is when/if Disney offers a tour for purchase.
January 10, 201412 yr Money might not buy happiness, but I'd sure love to have the chance to prove it.
May 2, 201412 yr Author This is pretty cool. Disney incorporates "A 113" somehow into most of its animations. And the reason behind it is interesting. http://sfglobe.com/?id=625&src=fbfan_625
