We do not have a dedicated area for praying, however, we can recommend a few quieter areas around the theme park such as:

What is a Parent Swap?

Our Parent Swap pass allows parents to enjoy our rides and attractions while bringing their children to the theme park who may not reach our ride restrictions.

If your children are under the height restriction but you still want to ride, the Parent Swap allows one parent to queue on behalf of both.

One parent will use the Parent Swap whilst queueing normally. A ride host will need to sign the Parent Swap in order for the second parent to queue through the Fastrack entrance, while they are taking turns supervising their child/children outside of the ride.

Our Parent Swap can be collected from our Fastrack unit, located to the left of our Nemesis Inferno Shop at the back of the park - please speak to the team for more information if you do have any additional questions.
