Global Events and Attractions is looking for a seasoned fairground fan to walk the plank, get into a spin and drop from great heights all in the name of creating the perfect fairground experience.

The ride aficionado will be tasked with receiving the customer journey, trying out every single ride and of course taste testing the pancakes, candy floss and burgers available at each of the operators events across the UK for the next 12 months.

Traditional rides include the iconic Waltzers, Magic Carpet, Dodgems, Teacups and more.

The final ride is the Giant Wheel, with the 33m tall wheel giving passengers the best seat in the house with a view over Glasgow for miles.

Douglas Taylor of Global Events & Attractions said “We aim to go one step bigger with every event that we deliver and Galactic Carnival is no different. It is absolutely jam packed with rides for all of the family and, with our next big event at an undisclosed site in the city coming up soon, we want to find a ride-aholic who will work with us to make it even better.

“From the rides to the food and drink everything in the fairground has to be just right for the party atmosphere. We are looking for someone to show us the wealth of their experience visiting fairgrounds and to try out our rides and win the boasting rights that they have ridden each event start to finish first.”
