New Hires for 2011

[Mikey]

So who this year is going to be applying for a job at their local theme park?

[Coasterkidmwm]

Me

I might be, depending what's happening this summer.

I might wanna be a ride operator at Kings Island since it's the closet to me. I've heard good and bad about working at KI. Has anyone worked for a Cedar Fair park?

I might work at Valleyfair. But I'm 14, so I can only work at food stands. Anyone ever worked at a food stand at a amusement park? If so, was it exciting, boring, etc? My mom does not want me to, she says I will get bored and hate it right away. Opinions?

Thanks!

I was an Op in 09 (Talon) and a Lead in 10 (Meteor/Balloon Race) at Dorney. If you can handle the guests being stupid and what-not its ok. But dont expect to get paid much more then 7.30-7.40 an hour. No holiday pay and no overtime. Also, I hear all CF parks allow their operators one day off per week scheduled.

I might go back but I dont count on it.

Come out of the closet, Fear the Four.

I won't technically be applying, since I don't work there seasonally, but I am / will be working at Castaway Bay.

Can you put CC's logo all over Texas Giant?

My local theme parks suck (if you count belmont park as a theme park) pfft...I gotta go at least an hour north of me to get to a decent park (yes, i like Legos, big whoop, wanna fight about it?"

I already applied for Area Rides Supervisor at Cedar Point... I already know I'm not gonna get it, but will be a Team Leader in Area 1 (Front of park to end of sky ride). Going back for 4th season!

just wondering, how much do people who have your job make an hour?

universal or sea world for me
dont plan on working for disney
but i could work for universal..
i worked at sfot back in 07-09 and did mostly everything.. trash, ride attendent, ride op, locker addendent,
you do become kinda annoyed at the stupidity of the guest and some times your boss.
i might go back to working for a theme park on the side while i deal with college

I have worked in a themepark and it was fun as long as it lasted. I'm not going for a job application at a themepark. Most themeparks are just too far away to have as a job. (About all parks are minimum an hour drive.)

Belmont park doesn't suck. It's a cool boardwalk with a very fun classic wooden coaster. [:)]

I would get a summer job at Flamingo Land, But I really cant be love with a stupid 1 hour bus trip there.

Do you really want to be a part of the slow and crappy staff at that park?

Nah, I'd be the person who makes them faster.
If they did not move at at least 400% of their current speed, Their parents will be shot. EDIT: And then fed to them.

This was pay rate for Park Operations 2010:

Red Tag (General Employee/Base Rate): $7.30
Blue Tag (Assistant Team Leader): $7.45
Blue Tag (Team Leader): $7.55
Blue Tag (Supervisor): $8.55

And Dorney's pay rate for CF comparisons,

Blue Tag (Team Lead 1st year.) $7.95
Blue Tag (Team Lead 2nd+ year(s)) $8.25

I might apply at Toverland or Efteling this summer, but I prefer to work at Toverland since that is closest to Eindhoven, although it only differs about 10 miles

Lol poop, you guys get raped.
