Adventureland Park - Rides Lead

Our story began 75 years ago when the Herschend family discovered wonder deep in an Ozark Mountain cave—and chose to share it with the world. Today, Herschend is the largest family-held themed attractions company, with 49 leading attractions and immersive experiences that reach audiences worldwide.
While each brand offers something unique, all are united by a shared purpose:
Bringing Families Closer Together by Creating Memories Worth Repeating®
. Our passionate hosts make this purpose possible through everyday acts of love and service—what we call Heartspitality®—the intersection of heart and hospitality.
As an equal-opportunity employer, we strive to provide environments where every host, guest, and partner feel welcome, valued, and loved. We firmly believe that words and actions matter, which is why all individuals are to be treated equally and with respect.
The Rides Lead will assist in the supervision of the Rides Hosts working throughout the amusement park. This position directly supports the Rides Manager with efficient operation of the department which provides a positive guest experience.
This position requires strong leadership skills to answer questions and help coach and train other Ride Operators and Attendants for the operating season. This position will also conduct daily audits to ensure sure the park’s safety and operating policies are being properly followed.
