cedar point job and housing

next year I am thinking of going to cedar point so i can work and i want to live at the houses they give you. I read the site info on cedarpoint.com but i wanted to know has anyone have any experience or info about working there or housing. thanks

I used to know a guy who worked there like 2 or 3 summers in a row. Him and his girlfriend would go out there from Illinois to work and then come back in the fall. I don't remember him saying how the housing was, but he certainly enjoyed his experience there (must have, if he did it more than one year). That was around 1992 or 1993.

cool, thanks. anyone else?

I live in Florida and I would give anything just to GO there, to work AND live there must be a great feeling because they'll most likely give you free admission for your day off. I'd take the job if I were you [approve].

If my parents say yes then i'll defintely go. I have not been there but it will be one of my dreams of doing. I also have to apply I live in massachusetts

i don't know if this will help you but, when i went i noticed all the employees were college people.

Ill be 18 next year and will be going to college and be a fresh men.
3880: is that too young? do you mean the people in the houses or working at cedar point were college people.
goliath: just to let you known u have to be 18 to live in the houses but i don't know what the min. age for working thier is.

CP's housing is basic the same as a collage dorm. You get assinged to a room and you share it with one other person(maybe more,depending on room size). My brother worked there a few years ago, and the building he was living in wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. They also have limits on what you can do or put into your room(if I remember right). You do have to pay a weekly fee to rent your part of the room too, but it's cheap. They do have some nice benefits as well, like a free shuttle to the local stores/mall and such.

Working at CP by itself is an aright job,and can be fun, depending on which department you're working in. The down side is that seasonal employees don't get paid any overtime, and expect to work long days(10-12hrs+ days). You do get free admission to the CP and Soak City(I think) on the weekdays, not sure about the weekends, during you employment term.

I do suggest you call them and set up a phone interview and ask questions about the work and the houseing. They do hire people over the phone, so be ready to set up your starting date and houseing when you call, or when they call you. Apply early in the year(like Jan.) if you want a job in ride ops.

thansk alot shag, that helped alot. I want to be a ride op so, if I can and am allowed then I will call or go on the internet and apply there, is the internet still good?
