DORNEY HIRING: Spooky season is just around the corner and Dorney Park is looking for the best in entertainment, ride operations, food and beverage, safety, security and more!
As they do each season, Dorney Park will fill HAUNT with skilled performers, from monsters to dancers to make up artists; these are the men and women who make Halloween come to life. Applications are now being accepted online.
All available Haunt positions are posted on the Dorney Park jobs site.

No other hotel has earned the award four times, let alone four consecutive times. No other hotel or resort from Pennsylvania was nominated this year.
