Learn your basic communication skills
Work well with others
Dont be nervous going in, it will only make things worse
Try to please the interviewer
Think about everything that they say very carefully before you speak.
Other than this, just be yourself and you should do fine

How does one open a ride?

[mkingy]

Maybe it's like:

Ride open! Job.

or

Ride! Open! Job.

or

Ride, Open, Job.

Lock checks, block checks, clean up, fetch the clickers, signs, ride passes, etc.

In all seriousness since that park only has a GCI and the vekoma family coaster I'd pray you get assigned the vekoma. You'll be smooshing fatties into the ShitCI otherwise.

- Toss a bottle of champagne against the track?
- Cut ribbon at ride entrance?
- Remove closed sign and the chain at the ride entrance?

by doing the things that costerkidmwm said, plus e-stop tests, a full track-walk (checking bolts, checking for and moving potential obstructions, etc), and sending the trains around empty to test them.
