Well... I have to say I agree with that person's blog it can be really really rough work. There is a lot of perks though, lots of discounts, even on travel and such. But the best part was getting to do things before the park was even open. We also get access to any of the parks for free.

But I think my best story is this:
I had gone in for work really early once, the thing is well... I was a tech. ^^;
That's a story all in its own right, basically I was able to help maintain the various rides and a few other neat things. It was rough but in my own sick way I loved it.
Anyways as I was saying, I had gone in early and was cleaning something. A lady in a dark maid dress walks right up to me; sure enough it was one of the girls from the haunted mansion, and bluntly said they needed a tech to do a run through.

The thing about the haunted mansion ride.... well any ride really when you do a "run through" a single person goes on the ride. Pretty straight forward right? Sure, that's great if you're on say Whinnie the Pooh or something. [I was stuck on that one a lot, it was constantly having issues with the motion sensor but that's yet another story]

For the mansion ... it's different ... they have special emergency lights, and alternative sound track for testing. Creepiest ... thing ... on ... earth. Gaa thinking about it gives me chills. So, yes it's so creepy that they made one of the maids come find me and make me do it. =_=;
It's pretty sad that even the greeters won't do it.

So here I am on this ride, I was shaking by the time it was done. Ran past their manager "everythingisfineokbye". They eventually invited me to be a more consistent tech for them since I'd actually do the run and walk through but needless to say I said "no".

It was awesome though, haha.
