Does anybody know how I can get in touch with HR at Alton Towers? :)

Thanks,

Not really sure how to contact them directly, but you could try the general Theme Park Switchboard, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

0871 222 9910 :)

Recruitment

So I applied for Ride Host/Op this season and got a missed called Saturday 2nd Feb and a voice mail from the Resort saying. ''Hi Snorlix thanks for contacting the Alton Towers Resort my names ******** I understand you want to work on the Rides Team. This phone call was to invite you to the assessment centre Obviously you cant get back to the phone right now however I shall contact you in the near future.''

Now I haven't heard anything since and im quite worried that Ive blown my chance if that makes sense? I have contacted HR who said they've sent him a email on my behalf saying Ive tried to get back in touch but still haven't heard nothing and obviously getting quite worried.

Oh the number that they phoned on also was withheld so i cant ring it back.

Suggestions, Hints, Tips?

Call HR again via the switchboard, or if the person's name was a park operations manager ask to be put through to them via the switchboard :)
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

Does anyone know if the new Smiler hoodies will be able to purchase on Park opening day or just on The Smiler launch day like I'd imagine most merchandise to?
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

I was wondering when the best time to visit after The Smiler opens would be? Bearing in mind school, there are only really weekends/ Half terms to visit.the closer to the opening the better!
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

Difficult question considering nobody knows when it actually will open! xD

If you're restricted to weekends and school holidays then you'll probably face a similar wait no matter when you go! The biggest and newest ride in the park is always going to be busy on a weekend or school holiday during 2013 :)
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

I think I've just confused myself but is the sanctuary open during February half term
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

I want to go to the park over one of the weekdays during half term, but don't have a car - and the buses seem a bit rubbish.
I checked here - http://www.altontowers.com/events/how-to-find-us/#DirectionsbyPublicTransport

I'm in Wolverhampton, which train station is the best one to get off at - are there any other bus services running? Is a taxi from one of the stations ie Stafford / Uttoxeter going to be silly expensive? Any advice?
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

You're best to get to Uttox if you can and get a Towers bus or a First 32A bus. Equally, as you can see Towers run busses from Leek and Stoke.

Taxis could be expensive (£20-£25 region I think). The bus from Stafford takes around an hour?! from what I seem to remember being told, whereas the Uttoxeter one takes around 20 - 30 minutes.

I normally go into Uttoxeter and get the 32A which picks up from right out the station and drops just inside the service entrance if my memory serves me right.

You can find the timetable for this here: 32A Timetable

If you scroll about halfway down there, you will find the Uttoxeter - Hanley timetable, which is the one you want should you go in via Uttox. Hope this helps :)
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

The 32A goes right in to the Plaza bus stop.
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

Ok - thanks... I did think there would be more of a bus service as its half term - but I think I'll look to get the 9.12 from Uttoxeter and the 16.23 on the way back...

Going to be an adventure - thanks all ;)

Anyone recommend a good taxi company as a back up plan?

There is enough taxis circling at Uttox and they usually have cards wedged at the bus stop so just take one.
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

Didn't think this deserved a topic of it's own... - Anyone know what's happening with the new Duel entrance?
 
Re: Quick Questions 2013

Just had to book some print at home tickets on the site (never done it before) - is proof of identification really necessary for when we get on park? Surely you just go up to the turnstile and scan it?

If you have printed your own tickets you do simply just go to a turnstyle and scan it yourself, so I shouldnt think you need anything.

Re: Quick Questions 2013

Does anyone know if you can get a MAP family and friends discount on tickets for FHT?
