Being a Coney employee is a lot for anyone. The long days spent with infinite numbers of families seems never ending. But I have to say, the sounds of upset mothers and screaming children acting like it's the end of the world is the highlight of my day, they just get me so pumped. It makes me sad that the children are disappointed with the rides, so I want to send my apologies to all the children. I'm sorry kid, but you just cannot ride on a canoe by yourself, your like 3 ½ feet tall. Also I am sorry that the carousel is just so terrible, it goes too slow, the music is annoying and there's only horses; I promise I am trying my best to change it. Working at Coney Island has been completely life changing. My favorite thing about Coney has by …show more content…
It has a total of 24 horses and two, two rowed benches. Isn't that enough? Well apparently not. Everyone just loves to compare ours to the one in Kings Island, but like if that one is so much better, you can walk past the games take the first left and then a right; it will lead you right to our parking lot. But I mean Coney is like half the price of kings, so who's really winning? You save money and Coneys fries are never cold, just saying. The amount of times children say “Wait don't start the ride, my friend is coming” and then I wait forever for no one because they got on a different ride is probably over 100 by now. Also kids love to help themselves to opening the gate when i'm doing the final check and circling around to make sure everyone is seated safely. They are just so independent and love to not even help themselves, but also let ten others kids on the ride. Kids are just so selfless these days! I always feel bad when the 8 left over kids don't have a horse to ride on. It was totally my fault that there's not enough horses. When the rides begins to operate, the kids love to show their parents their super cool tricks! One common one is to actually reach to the top of the roof and twist the light bulbs so they don't light up. It really helps the electricity bill go down! Okay as I said before, our fries are the best fries you can get for only two dollars I mean what a bargain! But sadly you cannot eat …show more content…
There are many paddle boats to ride and we even have three canoes located at the end of the dock. So come along and bring your whole family of six and squeeze everyone onto a four seater because sparkly blue is so much prettier than just plain old silver right?! And who even cares if two 12 year olds want to go on a canoe but then cannot find there way to get back to the dock. I will gladly take a boat out to save your now crying sixth graders. We have three people on staff at the lake at all times. Therefore, it is extremely important you enter the gate, not knowing who you are riding with, because that's my job of course! Groups of people will wait forever in a boat to leave because they want to leave the same time as their cousins do. They then decide they want to race, knowing these are not bumper cars because I know they definitely read the sign. 3 minutes later, I hear people screaming their lungs out because they are stuck between the edge of the lake and their cousins. Now this is just astonishing, I mean what did I say, and why is it so scary I mean the water is only three feet deep
