Most of the park's seasonal positions are available to applicants who will be 16 years and older by April 2015. A limited number of additional jobs require a minimum age of 14 years on the date of application. Retirees and other adults seeking seasonal employment are also encouraged to apply.

This season, the park will again offer an Employee Transportation Program for seasonal employees who would not otherwise have a ride to work.
