Lots of Questions!!!

As usual...I'll be the advocate for onpoint housing.I lived in Golds for two summers and loved it.

Everybody complains about it...but the (Golds)rooms are bigger than commons rooms are,and you have only 2 people in them instead of 3 or 4.With an $99.00 A/C unit from Walmart,those rooms are super bearable.AND you don't get awoken numerous times in a night by fire alarms.

Largest inconviniences with onpoint housing would be: 1) having to lug your groceries through the park, 2) if you have a car,you gotta move it to the lot by commons for parking ban days and ride the bus back to the point...and then go get your car again after the ban is lifted.

I would love to work Wicked Twister. Is it FUn? also the millenium or Raptor. What did you like most about the raptor?

Sonyamarie, try to not double post. You can edit your original post to add more information in that way.

A LOT of people love working Millennium. Personally, I enjoyed my B&M's(Raptor and Mantis) a lot more, but that's mostly just my preference. I've never worked Twister, but I've heard it's fun to work. But with any ride, it's your crew that will make your summer, not your ride.

do you think i have a good chance of getting hired as a ride host? i'm so excited. it was my first choice

If you left your last department in good standing, I think you have a pretty good chance of getting into rides.

A bar near Cedar Point.

Its a Bar/Dance Club. Most people go Thursdays and Sundays. Just be sure not to drink if your 21 or you will get kicked out by a bouncer and there are cops that hang out right outside of it.

Lol Steve....really hahahahahah

I have a question, I applied last week, and I just wanted to know when I'll hear back from them. I'm not impatient or anything, I just wanted to know a general time like next month or something like that.

Thanks!

Well returning leadership and returning employees haven't been called yet so I can't give you a timetable just yet. I got my call for my first year I believe at some point in Feb. but it just depends. Keep watching the employee lounge on here. As leadership/people get hired to come back, the posts will start coming up..

You can also check the status of your application at https://jobs.cedarfair.com/cedarpoint/ by logging in with the username and password you used to apply. I'm a returner and I believe for all employees (returners and first years) right now it says:

"Your application will be reviewed for the job preferences in which you indicated an interest. Your application will remain active for the duration of the 2012 season."

Around the time calls go out, the page will say something along the lines of:

"your application is under review by the hiring manager"

Be sure to check your email also, because last year my manager emailed me to set up a time and date for the over the phone interview. Right now, we're all just playing the waiting game.

Are slide attendants considered ride hosts?

Their considered as life gaurds I believe :) Corect me if I'm wrong

^Yup! They are certified guards, especially the ones at the bottom since they have to be able to rescue in the catch pool if someone comes down the slide wrong.

:) Again see my previous statement about last working in Soak City in 2005. Though most of the time Lifeguards are the ones operating the slides, Tops does not have to be a Lifeguard.
Top of Slides (or Tops) does not have to be certified and occasionally they are staffed from outside the lifeguards. Though anyone actually scanning water (and that includes those at the bottom) MUST be a certified Lifeguard.
I have worked at a few waterparks and only 2 parks ever put anyone not certified at top of slides, CP and Coco Key in Cinci. What Coco Key did was once you were hired, you were placed on Tops and/or cleaner and would work there till the next guard class.

They do pull people from Challenge Park and other non-cert guards if needed, but most of the time they are licensed, and the ones in splash pools must be certified

Okay i may have made a mistake on my application. I think I put "part time" instead of full time because I thought full time was year round but now i am thinking that full time means your fully available in the summer which I am. will this hurt me getting an interview?

If they set you up with an interview, just say you made a mistake. No problems :)

For example, I put on my application that I wasn't going to live at the Point. But, I told them to change that during my interview. And they changed it for me.
