Kings Island announced April 19 that it is raising pay for seasonal associates as it prepares to open for the 2021 season.

Wages for seasonal positions have been increased to $11-$14 per hour. Most starting positions now pay $11-$12 per hour, with opportunities to earn up to $14 per hour as a lifeguard or security team member. Job opportunities are available in all park operating areas, including Rides, Merchandise, Park Services, Food and Beverage, Guest Services, Aquatics, and more.

The amusement park expects to hire more than 4,000 seasonal associates in advance of its May 15 opening. Kings Island offers flexible schedules and many perks for its associates, including discounts, reward and recognition programs, scholarships, free meals, exclusive events and free admission to any Cedar Fair park.

“Our seasonal associates play such an important part in helping our guests create lasting memories during their park visit,” said Mike Koontz, vice president and general manager. “Our competitive wages and benefits make Kings Island the employer of choice for summer employment, while helping our associates gain valuable experience and marketable skills for the future. Plus, they’ll make a few new friends along the way.”
