... So to me, I like to look into different parks operations aspects. To me, a quality done park is clean, organized, guest friendly, and appealing. I like a clean park, because it shows that there is enough organization with the sweepers in the park to keep the park clean. It also shows that the park takes pride in itself.
I like organization too. It's no fun to be on a platform waiting for the roller coaster to dispatch and see the loading team talking to each other, joking around, and not dispatching the train. To me, each loader should have assigned duties to look for, not loading another loaders rows, and communication is key. This goes for all rides, not just the coasters. With an efficient crew who knows what they're doing, the line will continue to move, and more guests will be happier.
Guest friendly is acheived through the teams and among other things. The staff must be trained to know all areas of the park. Nearest restrooms, closing times, other park (if applicable) hours. This will ease the guest experience, and will gain confidence in the park. Another part of guest friendliness is the layout and signage of the park. This should be done to the simplest of terms. Let's face it, people aren't too bright when they walk into a theme park. The signage should let guests know what is going on.
Also, it must look appealing. This doesn't have to be crazy IOA or Disney theming. It could be natural beauty, such as very few trees knocked down, nice gardens, etc.
So, that's what I look for when I visit parks. Yes I know, it may be too strict, but if I eventually become a leader in an area or park, I'd want nothing but excellence.
I've seen 3rd degree burns on peeps that didnn't know till it was over.Not pretty.Give ommig to the peeps that doit
I hope thats not the job you want.
