Work History

Ride Operator

  • I operated the small attraction, Lucy's Tugboat, at King's Dominion: Planet Snoopy. I would begin my day at work, unlock the gate, welcome kids and parents onto the attraction, and check each kid's height. Then, I count how many people are on the ride in total, confirming each seat by pulling down the lap bars to ensure that all seats are safely secured. Afterwards, I check both the entrance and exit gates to ensure that they're locked and clear of other kids or adults. Finally, I turn on the ride with my board key, saying, "All clear," to let the riders know that the ride is now in operation.
