July 13, 201114 yr comment_119538 I would write a complaint email, but knowing them they probably won't even spend the time to open it.Even better, call them.

July 14, 201114 yr comment_119575 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...
July 14, 201114 yr comment_119578 ^ 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?
July 14, 201114 yr comment_119579 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
July 14, 201114 yr comment_119581 ^ 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.
July 14, 201114 yr Author comment_119583 Just been accepted through to next stage! Well done! What position did you apply for and when did you hear back?

July 15, 201114 yr comment_119604 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
July 15, 201114 yr comment_119615 Cool! Good luck for then I'm still waiting to hear back...Did you apply for ride host too?
July 15, 201114 yr Author comment_119621 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.

July 16, 201114 yr Author comment_119647 I did reply back, but now I have to wait until Monday for a reply
July 16, 201114 yr comment_119660 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.
July 18, 201114 yr comment_119721 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...
July 18, 201114 yr comment_119731 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.
July 18, 201114 yr comment_119732 The way they've treated you Paul, I wouldn't give them the time of day...
July 18, 201114 yr comment_119736 The way they've treated you Paul, I wouldn't give them the time of day...Typical Merlin applications it seems recently... Nearly 2 months until a reply from Dungeons? Yeah, useless buggers atm...
July 19, 201114 yr comment_119779 Its been 7 days since my assesment...and no reply. I'm going to have to email them now because this is just getting ridiculous.
