Everything's Under Control

Good afternoon Admissions team members! We are almost through with our Spring Break here at Six Flags New England and things are going great. Everyone has been doing a fan-tab-u-lous job!
We want to take a special moment this week to thank our lead Matt. Matt did a tremendous job refilling the water cooler in the Admissions Office.

Thanks Matt! We appreciate you and your urgency in keeping us hydrated! After our water cooler fiasco it was time for an in-prompt-to photo shoot!

Here is Michelle & Snoogals getting ready for break in the Admissions Office!

Here is Snoogals keeping the microwave oven warm in hopes that his meal will cook faster.

Oh hey! Here comes Jojo! They are such biffles!

Here is Dolores & Matt posing preciously Snoogals!

It's serious business time between Stephanie & Sara as they discuss serious important business like decisions.

Well that is it for this week's edition of the admissions blog! Stay tuned next week for another thrilling edition of At the Turnstiles!

Opening Weekend!

Opening weekend has arrived! The gates are open, the season passes are printing, the coasters are running, and our orange Discover card carpet has been rolled out! With the help of our new and returning admissions team members everything at the main gate opened smoothly. While we were all very busy we were able to snap some pictures from this opening weekend!

April 10th was our Go for Green Event! The park handed out plantable biodegradable book marks that will sprout Forget Me Not Flowers when planted. We had a performance at our Splash Water Falls Stage and we were also handing out reusable shopping bags for Big Y right inside the main gate. We noticed at one point during the day Snoogals went missing. After an hour or so he was located snoogaled inside a pile of Big Y bags.

Well that is all for this week's edition of the Admissions Blog! Stay tuned next week for another edition!

Pre-season is here!

Pre-season has already started here at SFNE! Trainings are underway, registers are ready to go, rides are test running, and Snoogals is keeping busy cleaning every inch of the main gate. This past weekend was the last day of early season pass processing. It was a great opportunity for guests to get their season passes processed before the park is open. Although it was mighty busy we were able to snap a few pics of the team members working down there.

Here is Andrea working hard processing season passes.


Here is Dan & Sara discussing season pass lanyards.

In addition to early season pass processing this weekend we also had our first Guest Relations training. From role playing to learning new systems our GR staff is well prepared for opening day! We were able to snap a few shots here as well!

Here is Supervisor Mike training some of the computer programs used in GR.


Here are Mike & Melissa getting absorbed into the material they are learning.

Role playing at it's finest!

Although our mascot Snoogals was not in attendance at GR training his picture was etched into the white board in the back office. Well that is for this week's edition of the Admissions Blog! We will do our best to keep on top of updating this puppy! T-Minus 11 days until we open!

Rehire Event!

The Six Flags New England Rehire event will be taking place next week on Friday January 29th 3pm-8pm & Saturday January 30th 9am-5pm. This event is for all team members who are in good standing with the park so that they can be rehired for the 2010 season. If you would like to set up an interview you can contact our Human Resource Office at 413-786-9300 ext. 3100. If you have a friend or family member who would like to also work at Six Flags New England, they can apply at http://www.sixflagsjobs.com/ and then schedule an interview for the rehire event as well! So snazzy. Because the photographer we normally book for blog pictures is out of town here is a picture of Sara & Jojo at last year's rehire event at Human Resources.

I'm sure they are both very excited to have their pictures on the Admissions Blog! Such an honor! Everyone in Operations is busy working away, but I wanted to tell you about the newest feature of the Admissions Department! We will be getting a. . . . . What's that Sara? . . .Oh it's a surprise? Never mind about that guys! I guess we will have to reveal that a little later in the future!

PRE-SEASON!

It has been a little over two months since Six Flags New England closed for it's 2009 season. 2010 is already underway and t he hustle and bustle of preseason has begun! Sara is busy working with the budget and getting everything ready for the Admissions department. Jojo has been working on the 2010 Admissions Trainings. And Snoogals. . . well Snoogals has not been doing a whole lot of anything lately except posing for pictures. Snoogals went through his rehire process yesterday with Kristin. Here is a picture of their intense meeting:

Snoogals received all 5's on his evaluation . . .well except for cleanliness/appearance. His first official task was to make sure all of Jojo's Admissions keys worked properly. So we sent him off. He first made sure the key to open the Admissions Office worked

Once inside the Admissions Office Snoogals began to reminisce about the 2009 season. There used to be hundreds of empty Coke Cans in the office. Now there is just one straggler that was left behind.

That old rust spot on top of the filing cabinet, still there and as rusty as ever.

WAIT?!? ARE THOSE FRESHLY MADE LEMUR TRACKS?? DO WE HAVE A SECOND LEMUR NOW????

Oh wait. It's just our beloved mascot Snoogals!

On his break Snoogals can be found on the pile of snow blocking off the Exit/Re-entry turnstile. He like to do some crazy jumps and burrow in the snow.

Snoogals then got back on track and headed over to Guest Relations to make sure the key worked there as well!

He then zoned out for quite a while atop his water cooler kingdom in the back room.

Well that is all from Snoogals' first official day of the 2010 season. Overall he is glad to be back. He also hopes that many of his friends from the 2009 season return in 2010! In fact the rehire event is coming up at the end of the month! The dates and times are January 29th 3pm-8pm & January 30th 9am-5pm. We will be calling you guys to set up an exact interview time during those days. We will hopefully see you all again next week!
