How many staff work at Thorpe Park?

Answer 1

It's difficult to give a precise answer. Many of the staff are seasonal or part time. Also the amount of staff in at any one time varies from day to day, depending on opening hours, time of year, day of the week, and special occasions. I know that the rides team is roughly 200 people on the payroll during the season, and goes down to a mere 20 or so in the winter. And the rides team has a minimum of 40 or 50 people in each day I think. The retail department only needs 20 in at a time, and I think they probably have near 100 people in total during the season, and very few over the winter. There are about 30 engineers, and 10 directors (the top brass) who are there all year round. I'm not sure how many engineers there are each day but probably no more than 10. Food and Beverages probably also have about 100 people in total during the season, and again very few off season. I think they need a fair few in each day so I would guess about 30. Then there are the cleaners, they have quite a lot in total and quite a lot in each day, but pretty much none off season. So I guess maybe 200 in total, 40 in each day. Admissions probably have about 50 in total, no one off season, and maybe 25 in each day. Then there's Landscape, they have 20 people or so, but I dont think they are in all the time, just when things need doing. Entertainments have loads I would guess at least 100, but not too many in each day perhaps 20 at most. I don't think they have anyone over the winter. Then there are lots of little departments, Security, Cast Facilities, Events, Sales and Promotions, First Aid, Guest Services, etc. A lot of them share staff (ie security guards are first aid trained, or work on Guest Services occasionally, etc.) but if you include all the "suits" like Marketing and stuff like that, then they probably total about 100. I can't think of any other departments really, except Photos, Games, and The Burger King, KFC, and Pizza Hut staff. None of these are actually paid by Thorpe Park, they are run by other companies who pay Thorpe Park I think. SO I'm not going to count them, but if you want to know they probably account for another 100 in total, during the season. So that makes it about... well you do the math!
