PKIDelirium Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Noticeable lack of a certain "P" word in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 And the lack of the "Casting Office" which they are now calling the "Hiring Office" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 You will also note they are still hiring 15 year olds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discodude3737 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yes indeed. I doubt that additional age restrictions are in the mix. I personally think that the speculation about 18 year old ride op requirements are also incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erosarrow05 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 You'll also note that "Paramount's Kings Island is an equal opportunity employer" and that PKI has referenced itself as Kings Island before in newspaper articles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I cant wait till i turn 17 or 18 because i am going to work up there. By that time i should be out of High School and be in College. This sounds kind of bad but my goal has always been to work at Kings Island. I think it would be one of the most fun jobs around. Since i am a roller coaster freak it would be so awesome to be around them all day and my favorite park. I want to work there now but due to lack of transportation it makes it highly impossible.

Reclaimer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 You'll also note that "Paramount's Kings Island is an equal opportunity employer" and that PKI has referenced itself as Kings Island before in newspaper articles The park's official name is still Paramount's Kings Island, legally. It's no surprise they use that line in their employment release. All signs are starting to point towards the name change to Kings Island...even if this one press release doesn't seem that way to you. Yes, they've referred to themselves as Kings Island a lot in the past...but there's sure a lot of evidence of a name change this off season.

Kings Island is a FUN place to work at!! Besides having fun, you will also meet lots of new friends while working there. Kings Island was my very first job when I was a junior at Kings High School in 1972 and have spent a total of 11 seasons there. Enjoy!

teenageninja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hmmm, not the real decision is if I want to go back and make less than minimum wage, or work somewhere else and have a lot less fun. Hmmm. P.S. The job fair happens every year so i have no idea why it is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
