I'm sure we've all been on a ride where the ride op tries to encourage the riders to cheers, shout, clap and whoop. Does this add to the ride (or the whole park) experience or do you find it annoying?
This ride op at Adventure Island was really enthusiastic when I visited a few weeks ago. In fact they all were.

It is actively encouraged by the park management using financial and award incentives. The idea is they create the cheesy funfair atmosphere for all guests throughout the day.
I can't stand robotic, personality-void ride ops. I like pleasant and cheerful. False, OTT enthusiasm is borderline annoying.
Do you care? Does it make any difference to your day? Do any examples you can share?
