New Job

[dropdasher]

I just interviewed today for ride operator and I got it. I can’t wait to see you guys this summer

[Snowball]

Congrats! Perhaps I'll see you around!

[zac2211]

Awesome! Do you know what ride you will be running?

 

[IndyGuy4KI]

Congrats! Looking forward to you giving many rides to all of our wonderful KIC members!

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.

Was that just for the rides department? I've been at KI for 8 years and can't recall anything to do with pickles.

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 

[standbyme]

Congratulations! Have fun!

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:

They had it one year I believe for 2014 or 2015, the video was basically a customer service advert. (The above is an excerpt)  Ironically enough that was one of the few corporate trainings besides the E&A training I remember vividly.

Definitely can say I haven't seen that video! 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!

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

If you don't mind sharing, did you not meet the distance requirements or were they full already?

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.
