Insider info:
I talked to the woman who works with the applications. She said, "I'm the one who views the online applications and calls people in for their interviews. But during the opening season when hundreds of apps have been filled out online I don't call anyone. That is when they need to come on in and have their first interview."
It saves the office and you time when you fill-out the online app. When you get there, all they have to do is print it out and place it in the first interview stack. If you wait and fill out your app in the office, other people who have already filled it out will steadily move ahead of you.
Early season comers have been asked, what ride they'd like to work on? If you wait too long your choices will narrow, if you get a choice at all.
If you don't like the sun but still want to work rides, I suggest you ask to work the Boo Blasters/White Waterfall combination. B. Blasters is inside and W. Waterfall is covered by a roof with lots of relaxing water around. These are the only two attractions in the park where ride associates' shirts keep closest to their original brightness the whole season through. Another good combination is Thunder Road and the bumper cars because they are covered with large roofs. The Cobra and the very cool Goldrusher also share the same team, but at certain times during the day some of the shade at Cobra will flea as the sun rotates.
You would think, the Action Theater is a great choice to escape the sun. Nope! You will also be rotating among the Southern Star and The Yo Yo, with the latter two sitting directly in the sun.
Ask some more questions, I'd love to help...
But I will only take you but so far.
Carowinds hires hundreds of people each year. It's a fun place to work, and I do respect that!
