I applied in-person. I interviewed at Six Flags (Arlington, TX) in Mar 2017
Interview
Came into a room and there were over 100 people there and it was a group iterview, they called it down to those who passed, I was one of them, scheduled for next day to come in with paperwork and they, would do background check, etc. Then no discussion of salary, pay rate per hour, benifiets, nothing. Just a piece of paper put in front of us to accept or decline employment and then training was set up.

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.
