Strong rumors that this is coming to Kings Island too.

Taking away jobs that kids need by bringing in foreign employees?

If those kids were applying and taking said jobs, then they wouldn't need to hire international workers. The truth is, that staffing has been such an issue in the past 2-3 years that this is needed. Also, KI is getting dorms built. They will be located behind Timberwolf and GWL.

Yeah, they need to be staffed more than June-August. The time before and after those months (and even during for certain rides/departments) is a staffing nightmare.

Also just in general seasonal jobs have a hard time because people want year round employment when they can. Also working over 40 hours a week without overtime can be an issue for a lot of people.

This is good news,  show's KI is working on the staffing issues,  so they could be open during the last 2 weeks in August.  

I haven't heard anything about the school bill.

I think this is a good idea,  a few years ago when I really wanted to work at an amusement park I was unable to because KK was closed.  I would have considered going to KI or HW had they provided housing since I’m too far to commute daily.

They should do ride prides from local fraternities and sororities.
