Amusement Park Workers

No experience is needed for many amusement park jobs, but those with prior work experience will increase their chances of landing a job, getting promoted, and possibly earning higher pay.

People go to amusement parks for fun and excitement. Employees, because they have frequent contact with the patrons, should always be courteous, enthusiastic, and friendly. When dealing with the public, patience is key. The ability to communicate well is important when explaining game rules or park regulations—over and over again.

There are many employment opportunities available for workers with physical challenges. Some examples include traditional positions in the business office—accounting, personnel, and marketing. A ticket booth can be adapted to accommodate an employee who uses a wheelchair. It is best to contact each amusement park and check out their policies on such matters. Also, get in touch with your school counseling center, state office of vocational rehabilitation, or state department of labor for guidelines.
