5 Traits of a Perfect Theme Park Treat
"Nicknamed 'America's roller coast' and located in Sandusky, Ohio, this park is described by the author who began working there at 15 at a Dippin' Dots stand, later became a ride operator for an inverted B&M, and progressed to a supervisor in food services. From that vantage they learned operations and front-line food service realities, emphasizing that menu items must be easily replicable because 'the majority of a parks' workforce is between the ages of 16 and 18.' They recount training novices on deep fryers and flattops, share the anecdote about an employee who served paper to a customer (was unaware of parchment paper between cheese slices), and note experimenting with items such as a chicken-and-strawberries wrap described as 'weird but good' that 'sold like funnel cakes.'" - Paul O.
