Theme Park Accessibility
Important Information
All Ride Access Pass applications must be completed online, at least 7 days before your visit.
Ride Access Pass reservations to our UK resort theme parks are moving online from 2nd March 2024, you will need to pre-book your Ride Access Pass before your visit.
Ride Accessibility
Our rides and attractions have a variety of restrictions which are put in place to ensure our guest’s safety.
Each ride has their own set of restrictions which must be adhered to at all times, some of which are due to ride restraints, forces or sometimes due to additional requirements if the ride has stopped and guests are required to exit before reaching the station.
We offer a Ride Access Pass to guests who may find it difficult or cannot stand for long periods of time either due to a physical disability or a learning/emotional impairment.
