Day Four: The Carousel (okay, this could be fun)




I was overjoyed to know that I was on a new ride, let alone the carousel. I was sick of being in the same spot over and over. So I made it to the carousel--where people were already waiting--and stood and waited for someone to come train me. I had to turn many people away telling them that I wasn’t trained on the ride yet. I noticed that no one was coming so I called over one of the supervisors--whose name I do not know--and he taught me how it all worked. I was so happy that the ride was another one of those rides that you pushed the petal down to make it go. Great. I gave a few rides, but not many. The forecast for the day was cold with overcast skies and maybe even rain. It was a little chilly and the sun only shone for about 15-20 minutes the entire day, and because of this, not many people came.




Katie and Sierra said that I would probably give only thirty rides today--and they were right. A few people came up a at time, which pleased me. There was even a time where I stood there for an hour without giving a single ride. I figured this was spectacular, until and hour of two before the park closed. There were like maybe less than 100 people I the park, but we couldn’t kick them out. I wanted the park to close so bad, but of course they wouldn’t. it was only until the end, when it was drizzling, cold, and getting dark, when time seemed like it would never pass. Finally, it was 8:30, and I would be free! I didn’t know how to turn the ride off, but he told me I could go. Freezing, I punched out, turned my shirt in and left. Freedom!
