Ah, the joys of adulthood! Who would’ve thought that trade-in your sensible desk job for the thrilling title of Theme Park Tester? Yes, that’s right, folks! For those of you contemplating a mid-life crisis that doesn’t involve a sports car or questionable hairstyles, there’s an ‘epic’ adventure awaiting you in the New Year. Just think: rollercoasters, giant plush toys, and enough overpriced snacks to make your dentist weep.
Attraction Tickets is giving one lucky UK resident and a friend the chance to waltz into the new Universal Epic Universe like they own the place! You’ll be free to roam the parks, treat your friend to a luxurious week of accommodation on-site, and strut about with a fistful of dollars—$1000 to be exact—like a kid in a candy store. Oh, who are we kidding? It *is* a candy store, just with slightly heftier prices!
Now, before you don your Mickey ears and rush out to create your application video, there’s a bit of homework involved! You see, in addition to riding all of the rides until your sense of gravity is up for debate, you’ll need to snap countless photos and videos, documenting the “best bits.” I guess the last thing you want is to be that person who says “I went to Universal and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”
To make the cut, you’ll be reviewing everything from rides to snacks. And trust me, when it comes to snacks, I hope you’re prepared to give a comprehensive analysis of each popcorn flavor! You’re not just a passenger, you’re a critic! Sweet, sweet power.
As if being a glorified thrill-seeker wasn’t enough, the company is looking for candidates who are “photo-ready.” I mean, I get it—who doesn’t want to look fabulous while hanging upside down on The Incredible Hulk coaster? Just remember, your shimmering smile could end up on Attraction Tickets’ social media channels, which means you might want to double-check how much chocolate you had right before the picture was snapped.
You’ll need to clear your calendar for a whole week! Yes, everyone else may be stuck at their desks slaving away, but you’ll be basking in the sun of Orlando, Florida! Just make sure your passport is up to date and your excitement levels are soaring high. They also require you to have your travel insurance in place. Because what’s a little adventure without a few safety nets, eh?
For those eager to apply, a short video of no longer than three minutes outlining why you think you’d make a wonderful Theme Park Tester is the golden ticket. Who knows, maybe you’ll find the secret art of picture-taking while riding the latest coaster! Applications close on Friday, November 15, and will be reviewed by a panel of experts, which sounds fancy until you realize they’re probably just as eager for a holiday as you are.
So, whether your dream job has always involved riding rollercoasters or you’re simply looking to embrace your inner child, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! Hit the link here to apply, but try not to be too overwhelmed by the excitement; we wouldn’t want you to faint before riding those rides!
