Firstly good luck! But remember staff at the park do monitor Towers forums including TowersTimes and TowersStreet so be extra careful when posting any let's say 'constructive feedback' online. Also welcome to TowersTimes!tytansley wrote:Hi, I'm going for an interview for ride host on Monday. Is there any staff members here that can PM me about the recruitment process, and where to find accommodation if (Fingers crossed!) I get the job?
Thank you!

Hi all, I'm new to the forum.
So eventually when I leave school, I would like to work at Alton Towers with the aim of operating a ride like nemesis, etc. I understand that you can't do this overnight and wondered if anyone on here who might work at a theme park, etc could give me some info about this? Many thanks.

I believe that you can become a ride operator as long as your 18 or older. I think they will require you to do a small period of ride hosting before becoming an operator though. They will train you to operate the ride so you will need pretty much no prior experience anyway.CoasterTastic wrote:Hi all, I'm new to the forum.

You wouldn't go straight to a large coaster though. You'd be doing a season or so on a smaller rides or a couple of small ones first to get to grips with operating.
Good luck

Does anybody know if it is possible to commute to towers from Derby using public transport/a staff bus daily? Thanks

You'd have a bit of a hard time as afaik there's no direct buses unless the x52 is still running. Depending on where you're working as well you may be required to be in as early as 8am each day. Your best bet is to drive or find someone willing to take you in halfway (Uttoxeter or Ashbourne perhaps).

Pay will vary depending on the role and experience the candidate has. It would be worth checking out http://www.merlincareers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for more information.

I was wondering if anoyone can let me know how the staff bus runs, when? Where and how much it costs?

Not sure what the route is these days, but from memory they do a ten-trip ticket at a good price, and also it costs £4.50 for a single from Towers to Stoke. Can't remember any other rates/return prices, sorry!

As far as I'm aware Tonik its this building. So as you head down the lanes make a right turn into the entrance of where it says about Express Car Park & Coaches, a member of staff is usually there, park up closeby and head over.Tonik wrote:Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where the Learning Academy is, I have an interview there but I'm not sure where it is?
