👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Children Riding with Adults

  • Under 1.1m: Can enjoy 6 slides in the children’s area and ride with an adult on:
    • Super Flume
    • Black Hole
    • The Python
    • Family Multi Slide
      (Armbands or life jackets may be worn on these rides.)
  • 1.2m – 1.4m: Can ride with an adult on:
    • The Cyclone
    • The Stormchaser (double tube rides)

⚠️ For Strong Swimmers Only:

  • The Space Bowl exits into 2 metres of water and is only suitable for strong swimmers.
  • The Rapids are fast-flowing and recommended for strong swimmers only.

📏 Height Restrictions

  • Most slides require riders to be over 1.1m unless accompanied by an adult (as above).
  • Tornado Alley slides: Minimum height 1.2m.
  • Thunderbolt (drop floor): Minimum height 1.4m.

🌀 Tube Rides

  • The Stormchaser & The Cyclone: Tubes are collected at the exit of Tornado Alley.
  • The Nucleus: Tubes are collected at The Nucleus exit (these are different tubes and can’t be used elsewhere).

💡 Insider Tip:
Arrive early (10am) and head straight to Tornado Alley and The Nucleus. These rides get busy later in the day!
⚠️ Pay attention to queue signage, as Tornado Alley has two separate queues.

🌊 Wave Pool

  • Waves operate every 20 minutes — listen for the claxon to know when they are about to start!
  • Weak swimmers or those using swimming aids should not go past a certain point in the wave pool — look out for signage indicating this area.

💡 Insider Tip – Quietest Times to Visit:

  • Arrive early (10am) or later in the day for shorter queues.
  • Winter months (outside school holidays) and Sundays are usually quieter.
  • Among school holidays, October half term and Christmas holidays are usually the quietest times to visit.

🧒 Safety First

Children under 11 or weak swimmers must always have an adult with them in the water.
Never leave children under 11 or weak swimmers unattended.
If you need help or have questions, please speak to a staff member — they can radio a manager if needed.

🎉 Have an Amazing Day!
