The first bunch arrives sometime in April, but most of them show up around May 1.

I think the earliest you can start is April 1st, but like Ben said, most employees start a week before the park opens.

It depends on your position. Some are allowed to start before April 1st but it is a very select few.

I started on May 15 this year. Most college people were there before June, and then came high-school kids for the first 3 weeks of June. Internationals came in droves after that, and their arrivals approached the end of July.


Not to be confused with Twisted Wicker 08 from 2002

My last year at the park, 1983, I was the #2 seasonal employee to start that year. I started at 10:00 Am on April 1st. The #1 seasonal that year started at 9:00 AM on April 1st.

I know of one seasonal who has started in January the past two years. There were a few others too but I didn't know them personally.

i'm hoping to start around tax day april 15. i know that it is mostly just set up and other work but it would be nice to be able to get a 6 month lease on an apartment and be able to work the whole time.
