Operation of the Ride Access Pass scheme.

What is a Ride Access Pass?

If you’re unable to stand for long periods of time due to a physical disability or learning/emotional impairment, you may be entitled to use a ‘Ride Access Pass’ during your visit to Sundown Adventureland. This will allow you to access rides and attractions without the need to wait in a queue.

Ride Access Passes are issued by filling in the online Application. (Link to Application) Please apply 5 days prior to your visit.

To claim yours, you’ll need to provide one of the following:

  • A letter from a GP or Consultant (dated within the last 12 months) which clearly states that you are unable to queue and why (we do not need a letter of diagnosis)
  • Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) letter (dated within the last 12 months) showing that you receive the higher rate mobility component.

Please note that since we are not able to assess an individual’s abilities, we must insist that any letter from a GP or consultant states that you are unable to queue and why, rather than simply confirming your condition.

If you’re eligible for the Ride Access Pass, you’ll receive a wristband and a Ride Access Pass when you arrive.

The combined wristband and pass entitles the applicant and up to three accompanying guests entry to each ride for up to 10 uses.

Please, therefore, keep your Ride Access wristband and pass safe during your visit.

To use the Ride Access Pass around Sundown Adventureland, follow these steps:

  • Enter the designated entrance as directed by ride signage. (Usually the exit gate)
  • Present your Ride Access Pass and show your wristbands to the operator, who will tear off one single tab from the pass and then hand back the remaining tokens, each token lets the group have one go on the ride.
  • At the earliest opportunity, you’ll be instructed to board the ride.

Please note that the Ride Access Pass is only valid on the stated date of your visit and that the eligible guests must continue to wear the wristband for the full duration of your stay in the park. Note too that whilst the Ride Access Pass may be used 10 times, you may ride as many times as you wish by using the main queue line.

Guests who qualify for the Queue Assist Scheme MUST abide to the rules of any particular ride as detailed on the individual Ride Information Boards, located at each ride and as summarised on the Ride Accessibility page. Exceptions to height, age and Health and Safety restrictions will not be made under any circumstances and we ask for a guest’s co-operation on this matter.

Important notice:

The Ride Access Pass scheme does not apply to character meet & greets, ‘The Night Before Christmas Ride’ or any of the parks other special events.
