Ride Host

Can someone explain to exactly what a ride host is? I haven't been to cedar point in like 7 years and my memory is sketchy.

I've worked in the park as a ride host for the last three seasons, and I love it. You'll be responsible for the safety of guests, delivering guest service, cleaning. Have you interviewed already?

The ride Operations manager who reviewed my application just sent me a email!!

No offense to any other of the great ride hosts out there, but I was most impressed with the TTD crew last season. Coolest ride, coolest crew, JMO.

Ok one more question. I've seen so many mixed reviews about working here. Is it really as bad as people make it seem?

In all honesty, it is what you make of it. I think the biggest thing is that people go into it expecting it to be all going out, partying and little to no work. Which isn't true. We do work a lot, 50-70 hours per week. With that being said, that doesn't mean that it can't be the greatest summer of your life. Live it up, go out with your crew, get completely smashed at Louie's, meet new people from all around the world.

For anyone wondering about rides/areas, you can use the placement site to see which areas have which rides.
