  JACKSON – Job interviews are adapting to the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic and Six Flags Great Adventure is no exception.

  The township-based amusement park recently announced its contact-free hiring and training process that will be employed during a virtual job fair to be held on February 13.

  The theme park plans to hire 4,000 employees for the coming season for the amusement park, Wild Safari and Hurricane Harbor. The new hiring and training routine will be used to fill positions from March 2021 through January 2, 2022.

   Six Flags Great Adventure Recruitment Supervisor Samantha Katcher said, “at Six Flags, the safety of our guests and team members is our top priority. Our new hiring process will provide applicants with a safe and comfortable environment, from completing an application through job training.”

Six Flags Great Adventure will offer curbside drop-off for document verification this year. Once offered a position, new team members will:

  • Call a phone number listed at their parking spot;
  • Human Resources representative will pick up the documents from the car window and process the paperwork; and
