Think his name was Tim or Summit, On Rush He was! Ledge! x
January 14, 200916 yr comment_42794 Don't you have to be 18 to work at thorpe? Well work on rides anyway, so really the only thing they let 16 year olds do at Thorpe is clean .
January 14, 200916 yr comment_42818 Its a pity they dont do work experiance... does anyone know if chessington does?
January 15, 200916 yr comment_42843 Some info >> here << about Work Experience for Chessington (mainly how to enquire about it).
January 17, 200916 yr comment_42924 Hey, has anyone who went to the Assessment Centre on Wednesday heard anything back yet? I might be a bit too over eager, but I can't bear the waiting!
January 17, 200916 yr comment_42925 Could you elaborate on which assessment centre? I.e Thorpe, CWoA, Homebase..
January 17, 200916 yr comment_42930 Haha. Yes, I suppose I did forget to mention which Assessment Centre, but this topic is Jobs at Thorpe Park! 14 days, eh? Oh joy, I so wanna know now. I'm such an impatient muppet.
January 17, 200916 yr Author comment_42931 Hey,Good luck mate!How did you asssement go? Waht Green Item did u bring?Ry-Boi! x

Think his name was Tim or Summit, On Rush He was! Ledge! xThere was someone called Tim who worked on Rush in 08 but he didn't operate it AFAIK. Unless it was Ti? When did you go lol, I'm curious to know who it was!Water Cup challenge on Vortex is the best And the screaming competitions between Vortex and Zodiac...I'll miss those days...Some guests are easier to get interacting than others, a bunch of grumpy old men won't be willing to sing "If you're happy and you know it" for example! But it's great when the guests want to join in, there's nothing worse than them all sitting there staring at you in the console like you're a loony Although making animal noises down the PA probably isn't most people's idea of interaction...I didn't do it that often, honestly! Good luck with your application themeparkaddict, I'm sure you'll get through!

Hahaha,Do you work there then?I went with my college mates, (I'm about to leave:() and we actually got a whole ride and queue line singing "Just like a Prayer" by Maddona, we currently learned this the day before in class haahaha! This was on rush in October! We then got members of the staff to ride with us, and we got a round of applause when we were leavign the ride by people! Amazing!I liek when people have fun and just lose all sense of dignity, Amense Times!
January 18, 200916 yr comment_42984 Michaela I cant help but wonder why you were talking about chickens or something like that to Marc through the Vortex PA.I dont expect you to remember, but it was in 08. Lol
January 18, 200916 yr comment_43013 blah blah condensed quote...Good luck with your application themeparkaddict, I'm sure you'll get through! Thanks Michaela! I'm guessing you worked at Thorpe but don't any more? How many people do they usually want from their assessment centre days? I mean do they usually pick quite a few, or just a few (I'm talking complete crap! Sorry!)? Were you in Rides then?It's odd 'cos I asked how many people work at TP on the day and they said 700 in peak season, 200 in closed season. Does that sound right? I mean 700 staff... am I being stupid, it just seems one hell of a lot.After my random waffling I shall now go outside and stick my head inside an upside down oven, just to confuse myself.
January 18, 200916 yr comment_43031 It's odd 'cos I asked how many people work at TP on the day and they said 700 in peak season, 200 in closed season. Does that sound right? I mean 700 staff... am I being stupid, it just seems one hell of a lot.It is most properly true, however I expect that not all of them are on site at one time. You have those that work full time and those who work part time/weekends/peak periods only.

LolI did? Ok then... Thanks Michaela! I'm guessing you worked at Thorpe but don't any more? How many people do they usually want from their assessment centre days? I mean do they usually pick quite a few, or just a few (I'm talking complete crap! Sorry!)? Were you in Rides then?It's odd 'cos I asked how many people work at TP on the day and they said 700 in peak season, 200 in closed season. Does that sound right? I mean 700 staff... am I being stupid, it just seems one hell of a lot.Yep, worked there in 07 and 08, miss it Well some of it :DWas in Rides, a very fun and interesting place to be, I can assure you! Not sure how many people they pick exactly, it depends on how many returning staff go back and how many of the people in the assessment centre were good or bad. If they were all useless then that's no help lol...but if they were all great then I don't see a reason for them all not to be accepted, I mean they're always looking for staff...

January 20, 200916 yr comment_43094 Having to bring an item is stupid. Chessington assessments were sensible
