CharlieN Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 My cousins said she suffered from abuse when loading rides and she worked at Thorpe Park which doesn't have the best atmosphere. Chessington does sound better. I realise there is many challenges to the job and eventually the level ofexcitement would decline. However, I still would love to gain the experience of working in a theme park. I've also read a great book called 'stories from a theme park insider'. It is filled with humurous stories from Disney world and I highly recommend reading it. Anyway, it makes working in theme parks seem incredible and it is what has made me want to work in a theme park so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeah Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 How old do you have to be to get a job at Chessie? I've heard 16 for a ride host, which is only a year away for me, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Assuming it's not changed (was it really 11 years ago I started there?); that is correct.. 16 to host and 18 to operate... yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt A Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Yep that's right for rides, although I believe it is possible to work in some other departments at 15, don't quote me on that though! yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 The minimum age to work at Chessington/ Merlin parks is 16 years old. For operators this is 18 years old. If you like Theme parks, dealing with the gp and working mostly outdoors, this may be a job worth considering. You can search for jobs on Merlin’s career website which can be found Here. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
