Kings Island wants entertainers
You won’t have to ride a roller coaster to land a job at Kings Island next season.
You will have to audition.
Tryouts and interviews for prospective singers, dancers, entertainers, costumed Peanuts characters, costumers, sound operators, lighting operators and stage crew members will be Nov. 13-15 at the park.
Here’s the schedule:
Nov. 13: 5 to 7:30 p.m. — singers, atmosphere entertainers, Peanuts characters, technicians and costumers; 7:30 p.m. — dancers.
Nov. 14: 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. — singers, atmosphere acts, Peanuts characters, technicians, costumers; 2 p.m. — dancers.
Nov. 15: 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. — singers, atmosphere acts, Peanuts characters, technicians, costumers; 2 p.m. — dancers.
Times listed are for registration. Auditions will be limited to two minutes and take place in order of arrival within the talent category, but the process may take a long time. Be prepared to wait. Applicants must be at least 15.
Kings Island is located at 6300 Kings Island Drive, Kings Island 54034, just off I-71 between Cincinnati and Dayton.

I’m curious what the audition is for a technician. “Ok, what’s this?” as they hold a microphone? Perhaps, “How many lights can you light up at once on a set?” And if you are hired in November (or even December) and won’t start work until next spring, how many people can either afford to wait that long or will find another job by then? I guess they want techs that are in high school. Now, that’s scary!

truthdetector, What possibly could go wrong when you have school age kids operating and maintaining the rides at King’s Island? Nothing scary there.

You both are idiots! This isn’t for maintaining rides it’s for the performing in the shows. The technician is for sound, lights, and other technical details. Read the article.

Most entertainment people who work summer jobs - like KI- are college theatre students. My best friend did this years ago - it is great summer employment for college actors, music majors and the like… and yes, they can wait until next spring for the job - because they are going to school right now…. and no - they aren’t a bunch of High School kids. Many talented college students find these summer experiences very helpful for their future careers.
