Travel enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike are in luck thanks to a new job advertisement that could see candidates earn up to £1,000 a week by jetting off to sunny Florida, USA. It sounds too good to be true, and as you may expect there is a catch – though it might not be bad news for some.
Taking on the job title of “official theme park tester” one adventure lover will have the opportunity to experience rides, snacks and fun at theme parks in the Sunshine State and then provide feedback.
Feedback criteria will see the lucky applicant score each park on the overall experience, quality and variety of food and drink, souvenirs and merchandise on board, suitability for families or couples, thrill factor for each of the attractions, as well as scoring them for entertainment and photo opportunities.
Harry Hastings, Co-CEO at Ocean Florida commented: “We’re on the hunt for someone to fill the role of Official Florida Theme Park Tester here at Ocean Florida.
“It’s an incredibly exciting opportunity, and truly is a job like no other.”

Florida is famed for its vast array of theme parks, with Lonely Planet naming Walt Disney World as Florida’s second top attraction.
The state is also home to Legoland, Universal Orlando Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island.
Lonely Planet’s experts sum up the region, saying: “Florida means almost anything: amusement kingdoms, Latin and Caribbean capitals, wild wetlands, artist colonies, and wild surf beaches. This vast, flat peninsula has it all.”
From aesthetic guidelines, such as weight and height, to specialist qualifications, becoming a flight attendant wasn’t easy.
According to TheVintageNews.com, the first female flight attendant was a 25-year-old registered nurse in 1930.
Other airlines soon followed suit, hiring nurses to take on the new role, dressing them in white hospital-like uniforms.
Experts explained to Vanity Fair that these uniforms were supposed to be “comforting”.
They go on to explain: “At that time, passengers had to worry not only about frequent crashes but also about sudden drops of altitude, which, in unpressurised planes, could rupture one’s eardrums.”
Luckily, as air travel and technology developed, airlines soon dropped the nursing requirement, which means almost anyone can be in with the chance of applying for the role these days.
