Looks like King Island is really turning into a Cedar Fair park.
The news in Cincy is covering this.....

Not a good way to treat your employees, but I've heard this in the past about Cedar Point.

Oh No, not more bad PR for Cedar Fair! Wouldn't it be funny if this information went to the news media and a story was done and uncovered some crooked things going on? Wink

are you people really trying to tell me that cedar fair has absolutely no concern for peoples feelings or well being? that just sounds silly . the next thing you will tell me is that  they didn't do everything in their power to save our "very special ride" as they said.

I can't beleive what I read...thats horrible. I can't beleive that they would even treat another human being in conditions (for living) like that. Yea I mean I expect Cedar Fair to mistreat a park...but not its employees.

What else is new,CF sucks! Just plain Sucks! Can't get anymore straight forward than that. If they treat us Geauga Lake fans bad, do you really think they will treat others any better!

Just wait till those who love CP on pointbuzz get there hearts broken by CF and Mr.dick Kenzil. They treat everyone like crap! It's only about the money, but some stupid people(Mainly Anti-Geauga Lake people, also known as Cedar Point Lovers) will soon find out that there Great holy Leader is just another George Bush!

I seem to recall Spehn saying once that they ditched the old water park (most of which Schlitterbahn Kansas City just bought for big $) because it was not up to "Cedar Fair standards."

I guess these students found out what "Cedar Fair standards" are, this is shameful:

The only furniture in the bare apartments:  air mattresses on the floor.

Some of the students have improvised. A cardboard box becomes a dining room table. A shoebox makes a nightstand. And then there are the sofas or mattresses some have been lucky enough to scrounge from a dumpster.

I feel so bad for these poor students. I wonder if the ones that go to work at CP get the same kind of treatment.

Wow this is terrible. I love if you read the interview GM for Kings Island says that he can't control if they get fired because of this getting brought to the media.

Kinzels kids all used to work at CP at one time or another. I wonder if they had a cardboard box as a dining room table or a shoebox nightstand. Maybe they were the lucky ones that found sofas or mattresses from a dumpster.

I think those kids should show up on the doorsteps of his million dollar house that is within walking distance and demand he put them up.

You obviously haven't worked for any Cedar Fair park once you're employed by them you really find out about who they care about.

Here is an interesting followup on the "overwhelming response" to the story on the living conditions at Kings Island where young workers from other countries are "living in an apartment complex with its missing ceilings, dangling doors, exposed wires, mold and bugs" in rooms that are "bare but for air mattresses on the floor."

This is one story that does not seem to be going away quietly.

At least some of the dirty deed that CF is doing is being uncovered!
