Owing to the family nature of the Theme Park and our naturally shorter queuing times, Flambards is a particularly popular choice for guests with additional needs. On busy days, please respect other ride pass holders, expect to wait at least 1 ride cycle and only use the pass when necessary.
On quieter days you will find that the need for a ride pass is not even necessary, making your family day out even easier.
