"I can honestly say that being a game attendant is a fun and fulfilling job, and we're busier than ever in our peak season, so I am definitely never bored! Running the games during the summer brings me so much joy and makes my workday go by quicker. The energy of the summer crowds and seeing friends and families come together to bond in a competitive space is exciting! I've always been a people person and loved engaging with strangers, so this was a natural fit. Although the hot days and manning long lines can be difficult, I wouldn't trade the experience of helping the park attendees unlock new memories."
