Why did you go to work at Cedar Point? I went for a few reasons. First I love amusement parks Cedar Point was my second choice after Kings Island. I also went to become more independant. Then finally I went because I love fear. To hear those hundreds of people screaming gets my blood rushing.
Hay also for some reason they took down my post before with this on it so I'm bring it up again. Click on the website below and tell me whats wrong with this picture?

I'm working there because I love amusement parks, I've worked at a park for the last three years.... but really, Denver is not the place to be. So, it's off to somewhere bigger and better, and here's where I ended up!
There's something wrong with the picture? It looks like my old apartment, only nicer!

I applied to work at Cedar Point last year because it was time for a change. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment, adventurous thing. I had worked at McDonald's all throughout high school (I'm from a very small town with few job opportunities!!) and after a year of college I just couldn't go back to that. One of my college friends and I were walking around campus one afternoon and we happened across a job fair where Cedar Point was presenting. I'd been to the park many many times and absolutely loved it so I VERY impulsively decided to apply. I interviewed on the spot and everything, without even preparing. It was crazy! When I got my contract back I was so incredibly excited -- and I haven't regretted it since. I had a blast last summer and will be coming back for '02!!

okay. I originaly joined the CP crew in 1998. I had just gotten out of high school the year before and all my plans for th future had fallen through. My life seemed to be going no where and I needed to get away from it all. I got out there and it was nothing like I imagined. I had a HORRIBLE time and didn't make it through the summer. My problem was I didn't open up to anyone.(Let this be lesson to all you newbies.) I went home for a year and moved to Wa. state, trying to get away still. That worked for a while but in the end, I just had to come home. Too many obligations. When I got home, it wasn't any easier to deal with the stress. I mean, I had nothing, in my opinion. Parents complaining (even though I moved out when I was 18), son's mother nagging, roomate wanted me gone, most of my friends where gone to college, leaving me here...in a mess. Well, One day I came across one of my friends from high school that HAD stayed and hetold me how he worked at CP the year before and how much he loved it. I told him I worked there 2 years ago and how terrifying it was for me. In the end he convinced me to go back with him and try again. Maybe even work on TC with him (and I did.) I got out there and it was like a completely different place. I opened up, my stress left, and I got my life in order. I owe Cedar Point a lot as doo I owe my friend (Dan Carr.) Now, I'm going back for my fourth year with chance of blue tag and I feel great. I, also, couldn't imagine where I'd be without Cedar Point.

My turn! I fell in love with the place in back in 1994 when I went there for my first time. I had never really been to any amusement parks (with the exception of a 7th grade class trip to Geauga Lake but I don't really count that). So anyway, this new thing was just such an exciting one of a kind place to me that I decided that I absolutely had to get a job there. I went to interview at the Raddison during my senior year of high school, and got hired to work Wave Swinger/ Swan Boats for the 1999 season. I started work on my 18th b-day. Despite a lot of problems that our crew faced, I stuck with it. I had so much fun and just felt a connection to CP that has kept me wanting to come back (even though I always swore that I never would). This will be my 4th season and I can't wait to see some old friends, go to all the parties, and overall just make the best I can out of what I look forward to being a great season!

Now it's my turn. Cedar point obviously has had a profound effect on my life.When I first applied to work there I was a senior in High School.Since I all the places I have ever applied too never hired me I thoght that there was no chance of me getting this job.Thankfully I was wrong.I got hired onto Ocean Motion originally but when it came time to do the training Chris Fike said "We need People For Camp Snoopy." so I volunteered and never regretted it.Without Cedar point I would still be a loser without a social life and no friends,now i have a social life and a lot of friends heck, I even fell in love at the Point.But alas that was not too be but thats for a different time. Thanks Cedar point You Rock!

I started working at CP out of sheer boredom...i was in my dorm room in 1999 one late night and decided to check out CP's site...I clicked on jobs, met the campus rep (she was hot) and had a job within two weeks...I keep going back, I'm not sure why :) Nah--I love it, good people, good money (if you save) and an overabundance of cute girls :)

Ever since I started working at the point I have had more respect for those poeple who work rides at other parks.
I want to set the record straight I have NOT been sending annie e-mails,I have NOT been sending her messages and I have NOT been harassing her.So whatever she told you kelly is a LIE.and you should of come to me before making any snap judgements and this is between kelly,annie and me ONLY so the LBFL members BUTT OUT.One more thing read this and think about it before getting all ticked off and if it did tick you off then come talk to me about it before spreading LIES.
