What would YOU guys do?

So I have a dilemma for the summer of 2025. I am in the state of NC, we have friends that live in Elmont, VA, just 15 mins south of Kings Dominion. We have talked about me living with them, and working at KD for the summer, which sounds AWESOME! However, we have also talked about going to Cedar Point for a few days. So here's my output. It's working a great job, and getting to ride the awesome rides at KD almost every day, or going to the roller coaster capital of the world for a few days, which has been a bucket list experience of mine for years. I am still skeptical on the situation, so I want y'alls opinions.

For what it's worth....
why can you not do both? Take a few days at Cedar Point at the start/middle/end of the summer and then work the rest of the season at KD. If you need some money from work, then plan CP at the end of the summer. And as a plus, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is only just over an hour (car) from Elmont, VA... on a day off?
Only visited CP once (this September), but I do remember in researching my trip that CP gets seriously busy and hot in the summer with little/no shade.
If I had to choose, it would be work at KD - had a much better time there than at CP, which probably explains this opinion and... you would also be earning.
