As a reminder, there is a Job Fair at Kings Island tomorrow! (2/27/16)
Visit the park through Soak City Drive, and the times available are 9am to 4pm!

There is already many of us fans working in the park, I'm sure more would be awesome!

You know, I was soooo close to filling out an endorsement form and paying the fee to the Ohio Board of Nursing today, only to realize:

 

1.  If I worked at KI as an RN, it's only seasonal and I love my current job.

2.  If I did get a 2-day a week job at KI, that would be doable, but where would I stay?

3.  If #2 was solved, who would take care of my pets and livestock while I was away each week.

 

Sometimes it sucks being an adult!

I'm just throwing out there that it seems rather sexist to allow women to wear hairstyles that are long, short, middle - no required length, but males only have one option. Longer hair can be just as well maintained and looks just as professional as short. It's also become accepted by society since the 1950s when the dress code seems to have been written...thank you Disney...

To go on, why is it that I have had quite a number of teaching jobs, where professionalism is a high standard, and I've also worked at Dollywood, run by a conservative Christian company, and none of them have ever questioned a pony tail, while Cedar Fair, which runs extremely cutting edge, modern amusement parks, has a dress code that won't allow me to work rides with one? It makes zero sense...so until it changes, no working Beast for me.

Update-

The long hair on men policy isn't just a policy on paper. It is paid attention to at least a little.

Which I think is good, but also as we kids say, lame.

2016.

I know they initially told me that should I not get a call by March not to expect a part, but with the more recent auditions, I'm gonna hold out until opening day.  

 

So yeah...no call yet. 

What did you audition for? Saxophone?

What did you audition for? Saxophone?

 

What else would he audition for? Drums?

Yodeling!

Terp, "Oh De Lady Who!"

Well, one thing I have going against me is the fact I only own an alto sax.  The guy playing sax for the group the last few years played alto and tenor.  I wonder if they want to stick to that in order to have fewer musicians (thus, pay fewer people), though, it would add a bit more tone color to have both saxes (that is IMO, whatever the park chooses the park chooses).

 

 They did field two trumpets the last few years though, so anything can happen.   

 

EDIT: Also keep in mind that any instrumentation they choose will be in balance due to the fact everything is mic'd and they are using a soundboard. thus, the argument to add more saxes to balance out the brass that would otherwise overpower woodwinds isn't a valid excuse.  

I have decided to take the next step and have applied to Kings Island for this season, I hope I get the job, I think I will like it!

What department?

My top three choices were Admissions Associate, Park Associate(Sweeper) and Entertainment Usher.

I've heard sweeper is a hot, but low-stress job.

Yeah I was searching for a job I would think would be a lower stress job.

Good luck! I'm in Planet Snoopy this year so I'm sure I will see you at the park this season.  

I hope I see you too!
