Hiring blitz sets amusement park up for successful 2023 season

Dorney Park has hired close to 1,500 positions in preparation for the 2023 season. 

Dorney Park said the week-long hiring blitz in February was part of the largest recruiting campaign by its parent company, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, across all its parks in the United States and Canada. 

“The hiring week was a tremendous success for Dorney Park,” said Jessica Naderman, vice president and general manager. “Thanks to the tremendous diligence and hard work of our park team and our corporate leaders, we’ve put ourselves in position to have a successful season in 2023. We’re building a great team and I’m excited to see more qualified candidates apply to join us.” 

Even with the success, Dorney Park leaders said approximately 500 openings remain for ride operators, security personnel, emergency medical technicians and lifeguards. 

Dorney Park is hosting a virtual and on-site job fair for these positions on April 1 and 2. Applications can be submitted at https://bit.ly/DorneyParkJobs. 

Competitive rates up to $20 per hour are available for specialized entry-level positions. Paid training is provided for all applicable positions.  

Dorney Park offers a variety of shifts to meet the needs of full-time, part-time, seasonal and occasional/casual work hours. There are also many perks for its associates, including discounts, reward and recognition programs, exclusive in park events, scholarship opportunities, and free admission to any Cedar Fair park. 

The park also plans to fill several full-time positions, with competitive wages and perks and benefits for mechanics.
