FAMILIES are being offered the chance to be paid to test rides at a popular theme park.
Drayton Manor is offering one lucky family £500 to test out its new Viking area.
In exchange for a generous £500 fee to spend during the day, the lucky candidates will get the chance to enjoy the full Viking experience and try out a host of exciting new rides and attractions inspired by ancient gods and legends.
They include the spinning Disk’O Coaster, Thor, and the mesmerising family-thrill ride, Loki, which is the first of its kind in the UK.
The winning family can also enjoy a BBQ feast from the new eatery Walhalla, a restaurant inspired by the Norse warrior paradise.
As if that wasn't enough, the lucky candidates can then spend the night in the resort's new Viking-themed rooms in the on-site hotel.
The chosen family will simply need to review their Viking experience and report back to resort bosses on fun-factor, excitement, and overall entertainment value.
Victoria Lynn, managing director of Drayton Manor Resort, said: “To celebrate the launch of our exciting and mythical new area, we’re inviting a fun-seeking family to experience an adventure to remember as they live like a Viking for the day!
“As well as getting the chance to try out a host of exhilarating rides inspired by ancient gods and legends, our lucky candidates will be immersed in a Nordic world of discovery with Viking themed food, entertainment and even an overnight stay in one of our new hotel rooms.
“We’re on the lookout for a family who loves nothing more than a fun day out and new experiences, to come and try out Vikings for themselves. It really is an experience like no other and a real opportunity to live like a Viking. We look forward to seeing who applies to enjoy the adventure!”
