January 22, 200916 yr comment_43322 Not exactly "confirmation" well actually, I guess it is. I'm waiting for a confirmation for my permit.
January 22, 200916 yr Author comment_43323 Not exactly "confirmation" well actually, I guess it is. I'm waiting for a confirmation for my permit.Alright.They said it could be up to three weeks,Lets just wait and see. x
January 23, 200916 yr comment_43324 Awww reading all this reminds me of when I first applied at Thorpe, it took about two weeks to hear from them, and the first thing they did was apologise, but R&A had a lot of applications to go through. And when I did hear obviously it was a yes! :PAnother thing to consider is whether they mean 7-14 working days or not.Good luck to all of you waiting, hopefully it will be good news
January 28, 200916 yr comment_43542 *BUMP*14 days expiring in 6 hours... James: The 15th day is when you need to worryCommence worrying.In other news, has anyone else who applied heard back yet?RyanbeatsMinty07 said something about three weeks....While over on SouthParks, someone went to an assessment on the 24th (Sat) and got a call on the 28th (today...) Nice 4 days turn around.I sound like a complete whinging seven year old. Do you think all hope is lost? Should I call them?
January 28, 200916 yr comment_43543 2 people from my CWoA heard back on the 15th day, so once again, no need to worry! Don't worry about Ryans 3 weeks thing, you went for different departments, F&B may take longer than rides
January 28, 200916 yr Author comment_43546 went on the 22nd with my mate.He yesterday gota email saying he was unsuccessful, Badtimes.But yet I have heard nothing.
January 28, 200916 yr comment_43557 Well I got my permit application from Thorpe, which might I add was accompanied by a letter, and that headed paper is so sexy! :PSo I posted the application back to Thorpe. Hopefully, Surrey Council will grant me the permit, but apparently its not been heard of for them to decline applications.
January 30, 200916 yr Author comment_43654 Well..Got My Job at Thorpe Park.Got 3 training days now like food and hygine etc.So year 2009 Ryan Murray Will Be there/1
January 30, 200916 yr comment_43657 Ok I still never heard anything back. Is anyone else thinking they've completely forgotton me?I rang in, left a message on the recruitment voicemail and am now awaiting...still.Honestly honestly honestly. I am still positive, but should I be ready to feel like a ride on detonator without any restraints?
January 30, 200916 yr comment_43658 If they don't get back to you today then they probably will on Monday. The fact its got to this stage without contact is more positive than bad but don't hold me to that.
January 31, 200916 yr Author comment_43682 Hello,Anyone going thorpe park company introduction on Monday 16th Feb at 9pm?x
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43909 I got the call. I got the job. And I am soooooo ridonkeylessly excited. Thrill buds set to explode, love all you guys! Thanks for getting me through the waiting!
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43933 Thaaaaanks guys!I applied for Rides & Attractions, was told about the Experience / Thrills divide, and mentioned I was particularly interested in Thrills.The loooovely lady on the phone said 'Rides Host' which I'm guessing covers every aspect of rides possible, from filtering the queue (I mean like that Nemesis Inferno bit before you go up all those stairs), to platforming and maybe even (grins cheekily) operating them?But seriously. Wow. This is just great. And great is an understatement. Now, to resign. (Not from Thorpe, obviously!)

Wow. This is just great. And great is an understatement. Now, to resign. (Not from Thorpe, obviously!)Firstly, really well done! Hope you enjoy it :)But you have to over 18 to operate on rides I'm afraid (and if you are over 18 then, great!), a ride host does platforming and batching (what you said as filtering). Well I would call the person who does that job half way up the queue on Nemesis as a batcher, but they also are there to sort of the fastrack people as well. The main batcher is in the station as the person who lets people from the queue into the air gate area, and tells them where to go etc.
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43945 and maybe even (grins cheekily) operating them?Ride Hosts are not permitted to operate, thats the job of the Ride Operator.
February 4, 200916 yr comment_43948 Yes, they are allowed to operate if they are over 18, ride host is the general term for Rides Staff.
