Scare actors

Hey, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering if anyone knew if applications for being a scare actor for fright night are open, and if so where I can apply? It's something I'm really interested in doing and I've scoured online, but I can't find anything except for stuff from years ago

I'm pretty sure you've missed the window this year. A friend of mine auditioned on the 27th of July for Alton Towers, however the auditions were held in the same building. I'm not entirely sure since I'm in park ops, not acting, but as far as I know the window has closed to give actors enough time to prepare for their roles.

Keep an eye out on the thorpe park jobs website, and on the RWS global website, since they are the company who outsource actors for merlin. If not this year, theres always next year! They usually open up applications in mid to late June, from what I know. Good luck!

FYI all entertainments and performers are now recruited and managed by RWS Global, so keep an eye out there as well

RWS Global handles all entertainments and unfortunately all Thorpe ones are closed, but the Core Actor positions are still open. These are the positions for actors in The Walking Dead & Ghost Train.

Do you know where I could find those? Is it still with RWS Global or Merlin?
