The chosen candidate will be tasked with documenting and evaluating each park’s “overall experience,” as well as each park’s souvenirs, parades, cuisine, opportunities for photo ops, and, of course, the “thrill factor” of each ride, which can be measured (in part) by a heart-rate monitor provided by Ocean Florida.
The selected candidate will also be provided with a Fitbit to determine the "thrill factor" of each ride via their heart rate. (iStock)
The Theme Park Tester will also be required to keep a video diary (with a provided GoPro camera) and post excerpts and photos to social media.

Ocean Florida was not immediately available to confirm which parks, specifically, the Theme Park Tester would be visiting, although the ad suggests the candidate will likely be interacting with “much-loved Disney characters” as part of the job. The site itself also has sections dedicated to Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando.
The agency, which bills itself as “the UK's number 1 independent Florida specialist,” claims to employ a number of “Florida Specialists” who are routinely sent on “educational trips to the Sunshine State” in order to provide better information and travel-planning service’s for the company’s customers.
