I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Six Flags (Gurnee, IL) in May 2016
Interview
I applied online for an interview at Six Flags Great America. They sent back an email two hours later telling me to schedule an interview date. I sat in a waiting area with about 30 other people in it, it took about 45 minutes for the interviewer to call me. They bring you to a room where there is probably six other interviews going on at the same time, so it is pretty loud. He asked me about ten very simple questions. After that was done I filled out a sheet to say what days I could be available and what hours in a day. Make sure to fill out a lot of days because that is what they are really looking at. I was hired on the spot and they gave me a lot more forms to fill out at home.

Question 1
why do you think is it important to keep the park clean?
Depending on how desperate they'll be, they'll just immediately hire you on the spot through email when you apply. No phone screening or anything. Took me about a week to hear back. I applied in the spring.
Interview simple, will work you hard for low pay, especially when the weather is hot. But just normal questions, as in making sure ypi’re prepared and alert for the position at hand
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Six Flags (Santa Clarita) in Aug 2025
Interview
Quick and easy, I stumbled through my words and they still let me on through. Most important thing is availability, which I unfortunately didn’t meet. But if they have slots available, you’re ambulatory or even in you have a pulse, they’ll take you.
