My name is Keith, I am a college student (U of Miami) and hardcore coaster enthusist. I really would love to work at Cedar Point the entire summer next year. I am from Ny and would be dorming. I am going to apply early as possible but was wondering feedback as what the best dorm to be in would be. I would not have a car, and would be looking to meet many people.
Also where to work. It would be ideal to work at one of the nicer restaurants as a waiter. Like the one in the marina or fridays, but are these even part of the point or independent companies? If you work there do you live in the dorms?
If not there, where is the best place to make a lot of money? I don't care about working long hours as a know most of the jobs are but a lot are really low paying too right? Ride operations? Is it hard to get in this department and if so is it harder to get on a coaster? Do you think loving roller coasters I would enjoy it, or is it a line you don't want to cross? It would be crazy it I could work Magnum or something like that.
Any information along with anything else I should know would be greatly appreciated. Last time I was at the point was 1999 so I am looking forward to riding three new machines.
Thanks
Keith

As far as best place to work it would be prudish if I didn't suggest rides. It is a good place to work, but incredibably grueling at the same time. If your more intrested in working at a restraunt, they are all hired by the same people, so your application would work for all the restraunts too. Rumor has it though that the Jonny Rockets staff makes great money. Can you dance? Hehehe.

I lived in Commons and I loved it. At Cedars there is no air conditioning and ask anyone who had it and they would say "Thank the F*%#ING Lord!" Plus most everyone lives in Commons so there's always someone around. Not to mention the store and McDonalds not to far away. And Cedars smells like piss! You don't want to live there. Trust in that!
There are so many jobs. I obviously work at RipCord. It's cool if you don't mind being in the blazing sun for 6 hours at a time! If it's money your going for I'd say Server. I have always believed that if you were going to work at an amusement park, why not do something that you couldn't do anywhere else. Park Op is fun, difficult at times, but fun!
Good Luck

Here's a tip -- if you'll be coming back to work weekends in September / October, you'd be better off in the Commons Apartments or the 1500 dorm off-point, since the on-point dorms close after Labor Day. You probably don't want to deal with the hassle of moving your stuff around like that.
It sounds like you'd really enjoy yourself in Foods, so I'd say go with that -- you will make quite a bit in tips. But as for rides (which is where I am), it's not hard to get into rides, but it can be tough to get on a coaster, especially if you're looking for a specific one. But working all sorts of different rides is interesting as well!
Cedar Point is a wonderful place and working there after many a seasons, I still want to go back for one reason or another.
I am hoping to come back for another season. :) Its a wonderful place and I hope you get a chance to come up.
