OK, I guess I just need to buy them the day before we go. Thanks

I was getting ready to buy tickets for a friend and I but not sure the exact day we were going. It looks like you have to buy them for the specific day now. Is this correct? WHat if it ends up raining that day and want to go another day? Do you loose all the money? I know it use to be you buy a ticket and go whatever day you wanted. It is making me select a specific day though.

So sad, She has decided to pull out. It sank in that she is moving 3 hours away from home and she got to scared. I was worried this would happen but figured she would still go. Turns out that she will not be working there. As much as I really wanted her to get this experience, she feels she is just not ready. I even offered to come every day she has off for the first 3 weeks but she is just to scared. I can't thank you all enough for the help.

It appears that I will be making a few trips to Kings Island this year to visit my daughter on some of her days off! I think I will go ahead and get season passes for my wife, other daughter and myself. If she gets the free tickets she can give those to whoever she wants and not feel obligated to give them to us. Thanks again for all the help with this. She has got it from here. She is so excited. She also knows there will be hard work and long hours at times. SHe says she is ready for it, lol. I told her that her feet will likely hurt for the first two weeks in ways she didn't know they could hurt.

Lol, Still a waiting game. Last week they set up a phone interview with her for today since we are 3 hours away. She had an inpersion interview setup for today but was canceled because they set up the phone interview. They called her and said that ride operators have to apply in person only. Looks like we are driving over Saturday. I just fear that the housing will not be available by the time this all works out. Maybe I should help her explore other housing options as a backup. Just not sure she could find something affordable for a seasonal position right out of High School. I mostly want the life experiences for her in this but she has to have something left after all the expenses. I guess the process will be some experience even if it don't work out. Thanks for listening, lol. Just excited for her.

She is supposed to have a phone interview today. Super proud dad! Even if it don't work out she is sure trying and excited about it. I wish I could do it myself for a season.

Never thought about that but her heart is set on Kings Island I suspect. She grew up going there and the park is somewhat like family to us. She has an interview coming up and is working through the process.

Is there a way she can call to back up the application? If she can't get in the housing she can't do this at all. We live 3 hours away. She is excited about it and has her hopes up now so I hope it works out for her. My wife and I would not have hurt feelings, lol. Hard to let go of them even if it is only for the season.

It's official, she has applied for the job. We tried to look at the application to apply for the housing just to see what the questions would be but it will not let us in. We were not going to apply till she has the job but just wanted to see what the application said. I assume they don't give access till after you are accepted for the job?

Thanks for all the help with this. Looks like she is going to fill out the application tomorrow evening and apply for the housing. She wants to apply for a ride operator but also interested in being a lifeguard. Not sure if it expired or not but she was CPR certified. Not sure if that matters. I am very excited for her but also about to cry, lol. Seeing my oldest graduate and move 3 hours away for the summer will kill me. I guess I will have more reason to go to Kings Island, lol every weekend, lol

Great information! Thank you. I am trying not to push her into this and want her to decide on it on her own but I sure hope she does it. I think the experience, and not just the job, would be invaluable.

Thank you! I will let her know. I am not sure how serious she is but she is talking to a friend about it. I assume it would not be that hard to get on? I would think they are like everyone else and can't get enough help. I see they are having a job fair this week? She will not be able to get there this week sadly. Wish we were not 3 hours away.

That is not bad then. I looked it up and for sure walking distance. Can two people share a room and reduce that or is it that price per person even with two in the room? Just out of curiosity, What can they make in a week for a first year 18 year old? I am sure that is a loaded question with far to many options and circumstances. I think she would really enjoy this and learn some valuable life lessons.

My daughter is graduating Highschool in late May and is somewhat interested in working a Summer at Kings Island. I would have my first year after graduating had I thought of it. My question is, does Kings Island have any housing offered to seasonal help? We are 3 hours from the park so she would have to move there for the season if she were to do this. I am not sure they would pay enough to cover housing and all the other expenses for a kid fresh out of Highschool. She has a friend that may try to get on as well so some of the cost could be shared if they were both to do this Thanks

Sorry for taking so long to get back here. Sadly, I have no idea where in the 8 mm film this is located. We have 2 hours worth of film. Not sure you want to do 2 hours worth for this.
