"Possibly" Scooby, he varies in height now... And you forgot Doc (the Green Eggs & Ham character) and Guy (another Seuss character) and possibly Bluto and Bullwinkle. Really depends on if they bring those characters out though.

Yea and comp tickets out the wazoo (instead of the stupid main gate)!! Also, a lot of local businesses (I-Hop and Orlando Ale House) will also give you a discount with UO ID. Keep us updated on your training!! Oh yea, and don't forget to grab a UNews in wardrobe every other week.
 
Well I'm going to thread-jack this instead of making a new one. On the topic of employment at Universal... I just graduated college in May with a degree in Business Administration. Currently (don't laugh :() I am a custodian (yes, custodian) on the Disney college program (yes, college program) at Animal Kingdom (yes, animal kingdom). So as you can see I'm not really putting education to use. I see there is a job offering at Universal for an Attractions Operations Supervisor. The requirements for this job say-

    [*] High school degree or GED required. Associate’s degree (AA) or equivalent from two-year college or technical school preferred.
    [*]1-3 years of supervisory experience required; or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Obviously my BBA is better then someone with an AA, GED, or high school diploma
However the supervisory experience is lacking. But it says an equivalent combination of education and experience... I've had education.

Is anyone here familiar with these jobs and think I have a shot at this? Any opinions are appreciated! :sohappy:
