| | | Planning on applying for the 06 season?
Anyone here looking to work at a park for the first time next season?
I am! I have my heart set out to work at Cedar Point at some point in my life and I figure next summer following my first year of college would probably be the best time to do it. I've always wanted to work at a park, so I figure America's roller coast might as well be the place to be.
I may consider SFA again even though I hate the employees there from a guest stand point so I don't think I'd like being their co-worker.

| | | I think I'm going to either apply at Kennywood or Sandcastle, the water park around here. I couldn't this year because I didn't have a ride so next year will be the perfect time because I can drive. |

| | | Pants, if you need any info about working at Cedar Point send me a PM or something. Hopefully I will be back as leadership next year, but even if I'm not I can still help you out.

| | | I gave up a management postition at my old job in NC to come work at Cedar Point, and it was easily the best descision I've ever made. The past three years have surpassed any expectation I had about how much fun it would be to work at an amusement park.
If its what you want to do, then go for it. I wouldn't wait at all.
I can help you out with any CP questions you may have too.

| | | It won't be my first year bit i plan to return to Carowinds in 2006. Working at a theme park is alot of fun and can be very demanding at times so make sure it's something you want to do. The pros beat the cons though so i would say go for it.
Good luck in the future at CP.

Most of our crew will be back to college soon, i am only workin 2 days a week now cause i got a new job and a lots of people are quiting around this time. so if you can drive now, you can still probably get a job. And they are hiring for fright nights now too i believe.

| | | Nope, I won't be able to drive by myself till next April...I'll only be turning 16 in October so I'll be better off applying next year. Dunno if it'll be KW or Sandcastle though. |

| | | Well, I had orientations today and that went fine and long. And also ride certification and training. But im in Area 3, my rides are White Water Falls and Scooby Haunted Mansion. But White Water Falls went down today..and it doesnt look good so I dont know where I will go next. But overall Carowinds is an awesome place to work at and I have a great TL and Area Manager. And yea I plan on working to the end of the season and hopefully Winterfest.
