BB1 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been at KI for 8 years and can't recall anything to do with pickles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropdasher Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 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 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robintodd Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 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: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The above is an excerpt) Ironically enough that was one of the few corporate trainings besides the E&A training I remember vividly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

dropdasher Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
