Housing and ages...
I have two questions...
I was wondering how phones work in the CP housing. Is there a phone line?
Also, are there many people working there that are just getting out of college? I am justing graduation and I want to do something this summer before I get a "real" job, but I didn't know if I would be a lot older than most of the people.

Ok Just to give you some insite about housing... You have On and Off Point housing. In All Rooms Their are Phone Lines.... Off Point housing has Cable... As far as the age thing goes Most are College Student's and up some people are Cedar Pointer's For Life and have been their for 4 or more years. This is my second year and I love it. Power Tower 2001
Phones work like this:
There are a limited number of lines out of Cedar Point. So sometimes if you are trying to dial out (reach a number not in CP's network) you will get a busy signal. My advice is just keep trying until you get the line out. Or use a pay phone, if you are THAT desperate.
A lot of people are in your age range, you'll have a good time. :o)

One more thing about the phones - they're not fancy! Strictly an old rotary phone. Technically you're not supposed to bring an answering machine or anything, but I always did bring my own phone and I know a lot of other people did. You can switch them out like any other phone.
As for roommates, the dorms have 2 people per room except for a very few larger rooms that have 3-4. Apartments (Commons anyway) have 4 bedrooms with 3, 3, 3, 4 people in each one (each bedroom with a different lock) so there are 16 total people to share the kitchen/living area/2 bathrooms. I stayed in the on-point dorms because I'd rather just have the 1 roommate and be that much closer to work and deal with community bathrooms than have to share with so many all the time!
ddludwig - don't worry about the ages! I've known people that work there from 14-15 up to 50+, and no one really cares how old you are, just how hard you work for your crew. Don't stress about it, it's a great experience!

Trust me on this one-dont sweat the age thing, everyone gets along with everyone. In the dorms there is one phone in each room, if you have an answering machine (like I did) you'll need one of those 2 jack things. I dont think the phone was rotary though I do believe it was a push button.
Made most of my outgoing calls from payphones at CP mostly got incoming in the room...(the comment about availiability of outside line sooo true!)
You will love it
If you're still working by Halloweekends be sure to stop by Raptor and say hi to me! I had such fun last season Im doin it again!
Have fun and relax-everyone at CP is awesome
you'll feel at home in a day or two

Welcome back Raptor riders-how was your flight??
Rob,
People that work there 11 or more years I think get their own lakeside property when retired... *LOL*... You and Marcus in the back of the park are a group of dedicated lifers.

That's the sad part.. I'm not an employee.. hehehe I am a season pass holder every year except the 3 I wasn't in town when I was in the military since I was 16.. and considering I'm in my 30's now.. hehehe
I was refering to Rich, one of the bartenders at Garter, he arrived Monday for his 11th season...
My sister DID work there one season though... so there is a family connection. hehehehe
