I just interviewed today for ride operator and I got it. I can’t wait to see you guys this summer

Congrats! Perhaps I'll see you around!

Awesome! Do you know what ride you will be running?

 

Congrats! Looking forward to you giving many rides to all of our wonderful KIC members!

I wonder if they still have the pickle video in orientation? (IYKYK)

Honestly have fun! Working at the park is something that is very special and I've made countless friends/connections from my time there.

Was that just for the rides department? I've been at KI for 8 years and can't recall anything to do with pickles. 

I will be working Orion for sure. I don’t know if I’ll be on other rides yet, but I’m guessing I’ll be trained on other rides. As a way for you guys to know me, I’ll be wearing a Magnum enamel pin. My orientation is Sunday 

Congratulations! Have fun! 

Make sure to NOT follow this training video.  (One of my all time favorite you tube videos :)!!!  (Yes, it's a parody, NSFW (language) and absolutely hilarious!)

 

And here's the original source material:

 

 

How have I never seen that video...

This is gold

They had it one year I believe for 2014 or 2015, the video was basically a customer service advert. (The above is an excerpt)  Ironically enough that was one of the few corporate trainings besides the E&A training I remember vividly.

Definitely can say I haven't seen that video! They do talk about the same topics as the video does in orientation, but there's no pickles involved unfortunately. I started in 2016 so it sounds like I just missed it! 

I wasn’t able to get a dorm for so I won’t be working there this year. Fingers crossed I can get one next year

If you don't mind sharing, did you not meet the distance requirements or were they full already?

Pre-2016 KI was a peak time to work there, because I worked there . They changed the videos ever so often so it doesn't surprise me. Heck I remember Ouimet making his annual video back in the day about corporate success. 

I honestly wish that I picked up some more KI associate merch (that you kept), I still have every hat from each year of being a lifeguard. 

Fun fact the 50th Anniversary "field hat" is from the same brand KI gets Lifeguard hats from.
