Mark9 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would write a complaint email, but knowing them they probably won't even spend the time to open it.Even better, call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 What 16 year old rule? (I never done Buccaneer)Last year Huss changed the rules for height limits and Chessie took it to placing adults on the end of every single row for each ride... Causing time and effort (to often 10 minutes sometimes) to load and send the ride...Thank god it's changed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 ^ I haven't been to Alton Towers Resort or Thorpe Park this year - was it the same, (with needing 16 yo's), on their pirate ships? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Was awesome for me, Ciarran and Callum when we went to Legoland due to multiple rides just to help them out as were all over 16 =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 ^ I haven't been to Alton Towers Resort or Thorpe Park this year - was it the same, (with needing 16 yo's), on their pirate ships?Thorpe has a different type of ship, it's not Huss.Towers, nah. It's exactly the same as it's always been, apart from the height changes.Lego.. lego being lego makes it way more restrictive than it needs to be. My only thought is that it the same rules were implemented onto Buccaneer, due to sharing the same rides H&S manager as lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeis Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 My friend said that after the assesment, Chessington will email me if I didn't get the job and phone me if I did. Is this true? Because I have no money on my phone right now and vodafone is charging me to hear my voicemails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yes. I got an email today saying that having attending an assessment centre, my application will not be taken forward because of the time that I need off for holiday. Two problems there: 1. I haven't attended an assessment centre. 2. I said in my application that I didn't need any time off for holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 It's so stupid that their own email system goes out and then they don't have the decency to at least say that it has, then you email them and they get it wrong etc! That is actually shockingly bad and stupid. Most people would think oh the emails broken lets find some way of letting them know even if it's on the bloody website. Jesus christ is all I can say.

Benin Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 They can take around 2 hours to do depending on how many people, how many tasks and other bits and bobs...You should DEFINITELY tell them that you could be late, so at least then if you are late, they are expecting it and it doesn't reflect TOO badly on you... Unlike one guy who turned up literally before the interviews in one I was in recently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeis Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 They did that to me. ^ Luckely I was able to attend.... Unfortunatly its been 6 days and they havent contacted me. This is worrying considering they said that the introduction day for people who got the job is on the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
