  1. I'd wanna be games cause if I were rides, I'd be TERRIFIED that I'd mess it up and kill someone. Me and technology aren't the GREATEST of friends. So games, all the way!

    • I would want to work the rides for sure! I'd be the girl who is the last one you see with 2 fingers up, which usually means everything is good to go for the ride. I could watch the people who are screaming and be like, "haha…have fun"!

      (this is my 1st comment, so not sure if I did it right)

  2. I'd wanna work the rides. I'm not getting punched out for a large bear. Screw that!

  3. I would want to work in the Games part of Adverntureland as well. I would want to be as close as possible to Joel I sort of have a nerd crush on him. Plus I would want to be able to just goof off all day and I would not want to have to sit by a ride all day cause most of them probably smell like puke etc. :D Love this movie.

  4. Definetly the games, pwn those kids.

  5. Rides. Reason? Lisa P and her dancing.

  6. I'd be a games person, definitely.

  7. I've not seen the movie but have wanted to. If I worked there I would hope it was like King's Island in the 80s. Then I would totally spend all the time in Hanna Barbera Land drinking slurpee like things in the Adventure Tunnel while listening to Quiet Riot on my Walkman. Then I'd catch a nap in the Mystery Machine. Every day.

  8. I would be a games person. You just get to sit back and relax with no worries of anyone dying on your watch.

  9. Games all the way. Competition is always better.

  10. Heather O'Connor says:

    games to be able to give the kids that are real brats the crappie prizes!

  11. I would be a games person. It would be so much fun to interact with people in a different way in each game. And hopefully Kristen Stewart would be there too ;)

  12. I'd be a rides person.

  13. totally a games person sadly LOL — Id like to think Id be rides but I know im not cool enough for that :P I am just so laid back :)

  14. EthanRunt says:

    Clearly I'd be Games, no way I'm cool enough to hit the Rides.
    I'd be more Martin Starr than anyone else.

  15. I would be a games person… gotta interact with the people… Win a doll for the kids.

  16. Germaine rigg says:

    Im a rides man. I love to be in control

  17. Games. It would be fun to see people lose, and try again and again.

  18. I'd work games. You get to interact more closely with people and I'm kinda slutty

  19. Brandy Bell says:

    I'd be a rides person. The games just never really did it for me.

  20. I would totally be a games person. No one in their right mind would put me in charge of a ride. I’m the epitome of clumsy, so when it comes to other people’s lives I don’t think I would do very well. Plus I’d rather give out prizes and put on a bit of a show for people. Maybe my clumsiness would come in handy there.

  21. Games.

  22. Spielster says:

    I’d be a games person. Free birthday presents for my friends an family and tons of nearly dead fish!

  23. I would want to work the games. This way I am in the shade and have the chance to sweet talk the girls that walk by. Laugh at the jocks who lose and have fun with my friends. Who knows maybe I would find a great girl.

  24. Hack_Sparrow says:

    i'd be a games person. meet chicks, help them win prizes.

  25. Definitely rides. Those games can be infuriating and who wants to make children cry?

  26. elizabeth says:

    Totally a games person. I'm all into watching kids spending their parents money on a cheap stuffed thing you can get for $5 down at the store. Think claw machine times 10.

  27. I would work the rides. If I did games, I'd be beaten up by someone who desperately wants a toy. Rides is a step above, plus their shirts are red!

  28. Larry Carlin says:

    Games. You have to do a little hustling for games. Rides will just be too rountine.

  29. I'd do rides as long as I didn't have to clean up the puke.

  30. Frankly, I worked at an amusement park in my teens and it wasn't all bad. Sure, I would shoot myself if I were to work there now but I'd definitely choose rides over games. See, at rides, you have the satisfying aroma of power surround you as you deny a child because he's 0.3 inches too short to ride your one minute and thirty second ride which he'll most likely hurt his knees on because everyone hurts their knees on this ride; it's just a horrible cart design. Games allows you to bask in the failure of some buff cellphone salesman trying to score an extra large Shrek doll for his plastic bimbo of a girlfriend but for me, having the power to ruin a child's day goes a lot farther in the scheme of things.

  31. I would ride the rides.. but for working, I would work the games, I'm too much of a people person to work the rides :)

  32. GAMES! i worked games at Chuck E. Cheese. I gotta move up in the world and hit the big time.

  33. I'd be a rides person, cos who doesn't love getting bribed by people to stop the ferris wheel at the top for that "special" moment!

  34. Games for sure. it's just baiting in the cuties to spend money to toss their rings onto my poll, oh no wait, that's definately male prostitution. shit, I'll just say rides.

  35. I would want to work the rides for sure! I'd be the girl who is the last one you see with 2 fingers up, which usually means everything is good to go for the ride. I could watch the people who are screaming and be like, "haha…have fun"!

    (this is my 1st comment, so not sure if I did it right)

  36. games person, for suuuure.

  37. Hmm…with rides there's the puke potential & with games there's the dissatisfied customer danger. Probably games, because you could talk to your friends, you'd most likely never be "liable" or get thrown up on (although there's the remote possibility of the errant dart).

  38. Jennifer says:

    Games. I want to steal a giant ass panda.

  39. Games! Better fun messin' with people!

  40. I would definitely say rides because just think…if you had some jerk giving you crap, when you check their seatbelt, you could lean in and give them that all knowing look while whispering….I have YOUR life in MY hands. Then you smile and walk away, and keep lookin' @ 'em when you throw the switch. Hehe….it's the small thrills in life really lolol

  41. i would work games because i tend to people watch too much and if i did rides, i would probably get distracted by people passing by and forget to turn off the ride or something worse. bad situation.

  42. Definitely games. I think just looking at the rides would make me hurl, nonetheless running them.

  43. Rides. So I could give the kids some excitement!!

  44. game person, all the way. no denial.

  45. RIDES!! I will ride any ride you show me! No fear! No doubt! I love rides! Plus to see peoples faces .. Hahaha

  46. gamesgamesgames

  47. If I worked at AdventureLand, I would def be a games person. I did it at a couple of school carnivals to help out…and it's REALLY fun….and you can help someone win!

  48. Trevor Gumbel says:

    I would definitely work in games because I have the power to say who gets a toy or not, plus I would be brutally honest that the toy in question is a piece of crap that was made for like 10 cents in indonesia by children and the fact that they are playing the game is contributing to child labor and that I hope they feel good about themselves for screwing over the children.

  49. I'd be all about the games. Working rides would be a bit freaky and I was never really fond of riding them myself, so I'll stick with games!!
