AHAHAHA, clever spin!

I just got a Voicemail on my phone this morning. There was a line before 10 am this morning and the park is not even open lol. I guess April came early LOL.

I got a job as a sweeper.

Yay! I hope you really clean up!

I got a job as a sweeper.

Will you be wearing a yellow outfit.  

^ I actually like those

That's a little odd. Congrats on your new job!

Thanks fear the four

Did you apply for that job, or did you apply for something else, couldn't get hired for that, so this was a second choice?

^sweeper's jobs are more than "trash clean-up."

if i ever worked at an amusement park i would choose between sweep and ride operator.

....or you might find yourself doing something entirely different than you applied for....

Terpy, who found that those shoes fit rather nicely...and twas better than going barefoot...

I hate being born in March... two weeks after the ****ing job fair. Looks like I'm screwed.

(sorry, I just had to get that out. Continue with the celebrating!)

I'm a pro status sweeper and am a new employee of the park services.

Although I did not go to the job fair, I got a job a few weeks ago and will be working Diamondback! It's going to be a great summer

There's nothing wrong with sweeper. I got 6 seasons of that in at KI. Great exercise and interactions

Does that mean this is your first year as a sweeper?

Congrats, can you please not staple me this year?

Good to hear, I'm excited

Look at 1:30 in that video. I wish KI's people would do something like that more often.

And I didn't mean to sound like I had something against being a sweep. I thought it just seems like most people would choose something else (until they do it once, and then continue with it)

At about 3:37 Cedar Fair redeemed itself from an almost certain EEO "opportunity."

And still...

What do you mean?

Up until then, every sweep featured was female...and there is nothing about that job that can be said to require one to be a female...well, nothing that can be said with a straight face.

I remember when I was younger growing up at CP...

The ride crews at Magnum, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon, Disaster Transport were primarily female..

And Cedar Creek Mine Ride, WildCat, Raptor were males..

And it stayed that way until the park no longer had a choice about that. . .

So I remembered it correctly? Wow

Back in those days, too, that park seemed to have very strict weight standards, though they were certainly not written down anywhere. If one were not svelte, one did not work rides that were highly visible, but somehow found oneself in places like food service, or, if female, the train, if one worked for Cedar Fair at all...

does Cedar Fair have a strict rule on hair like disney has?

Yes

how do parks get by with doing that? i'm actually quite amazed that there hasn't been a "discrimination" case thrown at them.

other things like the male/female or weight things i can see about discrimination. But, for the hair, I can see them wanting specific things. One of the things for a male is you cannot hav ehair covering more than half of your ear, adn your hair cannot be longer than an average shirt collar. They want all of their employees to look professional and presentable.
