rotag Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 yes, there always hiring for something. i have seen people get hired in october with 3-or-4 weekends left of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwyn Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would like to work at KI but my friends stories of working there, I don't think I will. I will try and apply to work Haunt. The other thing is taking fun away from a place I enjoy so much. Just really depends on where you work. I loved my job, but to be fair I was inside and away from the weather/craziness lol. But it really depends on what department you work in. Some are stressful, and some are really nice what deparment did you work? I was in human resources- so its pretty fair to say theres a good chance each and every one of you who have worked there in the past 4 years has met me at least once 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum91 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It was probably sent via PM and not answered here because, no matter how seemingly minor, it was employee information that is not accessible to the general public. As a couple others have mentioned, working at Kings Island can provide you with some interesting information. But if you go sharing this interesting information online, like on KICentral and similar websites, you may find yourself not working at Kings Island much longer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCryptCrusader Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I attended the job fairs at the park yesterday for an interview and am eagerly looking forward to working this 2015 season as a Ride Operator! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticsTimber Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Probably mentioned already in this thread but I'm going to ask anyway. Did KI use to offer housing for their employees who had to make long drives down to the park for work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 International students/workers were at one time put up in apartment buildings and even university dorms, but I don't think that continues, does it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptCrusader Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I do not believe so. I know Cedar Point does, but as far as I know, Kings Island does not offer dorming any longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ya I don't think that'd be a problem for them considering that they have 10,000 applications...hopefully the 4,000 they hire will be near Kings Island. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Well one of those 4,000 last year lived about 35 minutes from the park..., 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptCrusader Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I just dug this gem up from the Internet. Gave me a good laugh. I'm looking forward to working my first season! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwyn Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 And that video just shows some of the fun stuff employees get to do, seriously, even if it was highly embarassing for a few. I find it funny for so many reasons, not the least of which was seeing my coworkers in train uniforms (I'm not sure who picked that out for them, but going from a department with pants to wearing short overalls just made me giggle). Also, watching the employees from different departments trying to keep up with the entertainment employees. But they had fun which was all that really mattered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCryptCrusader Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It's really neat to see Kings Island doing stuff like that with employees. It's always good to get a out of your comfort zone every once and a while 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Lettuce not forget, the major porpoise was to draw new associates to the FUN and only. Any FUN making it was a happy coincidental. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 And I do believe our own MDMC01 is in that video somewhere. Yep, I'm one of the guys in the yellow (the shortest of the two guys with hats). My main scenes are near The Beast, near Breaker's Bay, and of course, the grand finale. As I've said before, it was a blast to make! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still talk about the FUN they had making the video. They all were wearing blue admission and tan shorts. Still fun to watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said before, if you get into the right department, it really is a lot of fun. I worked with funny, kind people and can honestly say I never had a boring day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am working at Kings Island. I won't announce the position, where I'm working at, or my name, because I don't want to be interrupted by People who already know about the park wanting to chat to workers, when there is plenty of people that will need help.
