"Company orientation" was 15 hours that we got paid for, maybe 4 or 5 of those were at the ride, plus another 3 hours or so of practice at the ride before opening day.

Since this is about ride ops, and i was recently looking to see if there was ride op job infor at gadv on the site.

Questions about interview-- what kind of questions did they ask you? Also, did you get to pick the area/ride you wanted to work or did they start you at the bottom[kiddie rides] and worked you up. I wouldnt really want to the operator..more like attendent..checking restraints etc etc
