As the end of summer is fast approaching, we can’t help but reminisce over what an awesome summer it has been. We're thrilled to announce that out of all Merlin UK attractions, Thorpe Park won the internal ‘Greatest Place to Work and Play Competition’ for July!🥳 This monthly recognition highlights and celebrates attractions that excel in aligning both team member and guest best practices🌟 To make this summer even more spectacular, we created and launched an engaging plan to involve our teams in delivering the best guest experiences through the six Merlin Values – We Care, Own Your Craft, Drive and Discover, Go Together, Enjoy The Ride, Protecting The Magic. Each week, we gave the spotlight to one of our six Merlin Values and brought them to life through collaborative videos involving our team members recording top tips for our guests📽️ To make Thorpe Park an even greater place to work and play, throughout the summer and as part of our initiative, we hosted exciting competitions for our team members and adrenaline-pumping after-hours staff rides on our record-breaking rollercoasters and rides🎢 A big thank you to our leadership team who made this great incentive happen!🤩

Thank you for being a magical teammate Mia!✨
Mia joined Thorpe Park in 2018 as part of the Rides and Attractions team. Since then, she’s developed skills in wider park operation and now works as an Operations Controller in the Security Department! 🚀 Here’s how she lives our value, ‘Go Together’, every day: “In Control, you need to be an effective communicator and collaborator and be good at multi-tasking. We go together daily with multiple departments to ensure the park runs smoothly for our guests.” “I love working closely with the First Aid and Security teams. We’re all such good friends in and outside of work.” 💙 “I’m multi-skilled in the rides department, so some days I also assist the team there. I love going back to work on rides as it’s so fun to be on the park interacting with our guests”. 🎢 Thank you for making this greatest place to work and play, Mia ✨ #GoTogether #LifeatMerlin #ThorpePark
