Positions are available in the following departments:
- Ride operations

- Games
- Park services
- Security
- Safety
Jobs start at $9 per hour with a $2 per hour premium pay incentive.
“In addition, a $1 per hour bonus will be applied at the end of the associate’s employment agreement, bringing the total added wage increase to $3 per hour worked during Tricks and Treats Fall Fest," park officials said.
3News asked how many positions are available, but park officials could not provide that number.
