Cedar Point or Bust 2021

So, I applied for Cedar Point Ride Operations yesterday! Their recruiting team set up my interview for Monday at 10am, my time. I am so excited to, hopefully, work there for another season. I don't have children and my husband and I have no problems being apart for 7 months, he of course would visit me for vacation but other than that, we would just phone each other and video chat!
     I am really hoping to be working Steel Vengeance this summer. It is Mean Streak reimagined! I worked the Mean Streak crew one season so I would love to come back and work Steel Vengeance! Gosh, I haven't been back to Cedar Point since 2011, my last season. So much has changed! I promise that if I am employed there, I won't take anything for granted! I will be taking pictures and enjoying time with new friends! Just thinking about what could be has got me so full of energy and excitement!
     Some things I am sooooooooooooo looking forward to are: Employee ride nights (3 rides are open for unlimited riding for employees and it is a party in the park with free food, games, face painting, and contests to win prizes), working with a crew and getting crew shirts and hoodies, Going into the park on days off and enjoying rides for free, seeing the 4th of July fireworks no matter if I am working or off, employee only bar where many memories have been made - not to mention my public intoxication misdemeanor I earned there (oof, I learned my lesson though), moving into the dorms and decorating my part of the room, having roomates, being free, and just plain old making memories.
     Some of the places I want to go to outside of Cedar Point while I am there are: Ghostly Manor (365 day haunted house), Norwalk Raceway, Put-in-Bay, Kings Island (which as an employee of Cedar Fair, I get in for free as well), and anything new I have yet to experience since I have last been there. Last night, I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about how I want to decorate my part of the room. I already know I want to put string lights up and pictures of Ryan (my hubby) and me! And posters of Gerard Way and the band! I have my locker planned out to be super cute. 
     I love the dorm life! I love having roomies! My hubby and I want to always have roomies living with us. My momma lives with us! When we move into our first house, we hope to have other roomies! But, that's one of the reasons I am so excited for the season! Roomies! I love being around people who share the same interests as me. And trust me, if someone didn't like roller coasters or the atmosphere an amusement park brings, they wouldn't be working there! Cedar Point is where I found out who I was! My dad kicked me out when I was 19 and all I had was Cedar Point and the friends I made there. I was free! I became the person I am today, developed my own world views, and became my true self! There is so much freedom in that!
     If you are young and have nothing planned for the summer, or if you have a job you hate and are 18+ (18+ in order to live in dorms, anything younger and you'll have to be local), I promise you, you will not be disappointed! The experience and the memories you make! The freedom you have, while also learning responsibility! The last time I worked for Cedar Point, I made $7.75 as an Assistant Team Leader ($7.25 as a normal ride op) and now they are paying $12-$15 an hour. It is easy money! Fun money! Yes, you will most likely work overtime a lot, but there are always people like me who want to work your hours. So, say you are working 1130am-close and I am working open to 6pm. I will most likely want your hours and ask if you would rather go home at 6pm or stay for your entire shift! I am always chasing that money and with Cedar Point, it is so easy to do! And fun!
     If you made it this far, first off... thank you for reading! If you have any questions, I am full of answers!
