October 25, 201113 yr comment_125770 I am, perhaps foolishly, thinking of joining the ranks of those to whom this thread refers next season So, any words of advice / derision / mocking would be welcome but for now, I just wondered when the new season's temp roles are posted? Something is telling me January but this could be complete rubbish.*Awaits mocking*
October 29, 201113 yr comment_126095 They have pre-registration forms up in nov/dec.. just incase you totally forget to apply a couple of months later... but the job adverts themselves are up in Jan
October 29, 201113 yr comment_126135 It's been twice since I saw this worker James. First time was 2 years ago when he started singing Baby by Justin Beiber on Saw: The Ride. I also saw him earlier this year where he started singing a cheeky bit of High School Musical on Storm Surge. Two boys I was with said they saw him at Fright Nights whilst me and some others were in the mazes. He apparently shook their hands and said ''It has been an emotional roller coaster spending time with you guys'' when they left the ride they were on. It's the staff members like these that make a trip to Thorpe worthwhile and I've been looking for him every time I go now.The one thing I do hate about the staff though is that when you put your belongings in on of the blue boxes, they never move unless you actually put it in the box. I went to the desk at Stealth and asked for one of the wristbands and the man refused to give it to me unless I put my shoulder bag (which was too big to fit in) into the blue box. I know it saves them effort but if the workers are going to put the box in one of the shelves then can't they just put the bag in as the go? I was in a rush as all my mates were already by the red gate things and it just held everybody up. o.O

O.oGenerally the staff I've encountered at Thorpe have been okay, although there have been a few I wouldn't mind giving a cheeky slap to. Like on Vortex - rather than stand there chatting about whatever is going on in your life, how about you save the chit chat for later and actually do your job? A huge group of people waiting to go on a ride that doesn't have the best throughput in the world aren't going to stand around all merry for very long are they? Besides, they're being paid to load and unload, not talk. Unfortunately I didn't get a look at the staff members names, but they were women
October 29, 201113 yr comment_126143 I believe they're not allowed to touch peoples belongings - there's no chance of being blamed for breaking/nicking something if all they touch is the blue boxes.
November 9, 201113 yr comment_127051 That is so badly put on, I'd go as far as saying (from what I've heard of them) it makes the SAW: Alive actors look good...
November 9, 201113 yr comment_127054 I think that is the joke... Well, now you mention it... *faceparm*Yeah, it's still not funny though
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127882 Just filled out my profile and submitted my 2012 registration form...
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127883 Okay, not that it is directly related to this topic, what happened to the member Ricky? He was on here all the time, and now he has just disappeared!

I never thought of that :L I guess the staff can't exactly say the reason they can't touch peoples bags either...Thanks for clarifying that
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127894 Just filled out my profile and submitted my 2012 registration form... I hope they don't **** you over
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127908 Just filled out my profile and submitted my 2012 registration form... You're making Chessington sad.
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127911 Nah, chessington has alzheimer's.. confused and repeating itself, but does gain glimpses of what it actually is at times.
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127918 I H8 VAMPIRE. BUBBL3W0RX IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN RUBB1SH!![/troll] ;)But I guess I could apply there too! Thorpe would actually be easier for me though despite Chessie being marginally closer.
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127920 Where you live then Mr Y? :POn a more serious note, I never see the point of the pre-registration forms. All they do is send an email when the jobs are up, and then you have to apply anyway. May as well just wait til late december/beginning of jan really!
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127922 If he worked for Merlin, the staff can't post things relating to work on forumsNever stopped them before...
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127924 Well I admit actually that was slightly factually incorrect, but in terms of trains one is just as easy as the other
November 26, 201113 yr comment_127987 ^ Haven't Thorpe had to take that video off their Youtube account due to copyright infringement or some rubbish like that? :PAlso - one of the best videos ever to come from Thorpe!
