Things will be a little different.

Obviously, protocols will have to be observed when the park reopens. As it stands, Elitch's will be able to accommodate 3,200 guests at any given time. That number equals 18% of capacity. Elitch Gardens employees will be trained on COVID-19 safety protocols and safe behaviors.

At a glance, the job application looks pretty much like any other applications you've ever seen. The Ride Operator application, for example, states the job summary, duties, and requirements. From there, it's simply a matter of name, phone number, email, etc. The entire process can be done entirely online.
