Wheelchair User wristbands and access route

Wheelchair users do not need to pre book to have access routes to ride and can just turn up to the first aid centre on the day of visit. Information on what to do on the day of visit can be found in the ‘Arrivals’ section of this blog post.

Arrivals

In this section of the blog we explain what will happen when you arrive at Paultons park so you know what to expect and can get on the rides as quickly as possible.

blue badge parking

Paultons Park offers plenty of blue badge parking. We arrived at around 10:30 on both days and there were plenty of spaces. The blue badge parking was located very close to the entrance we could see the iconic Paultons park sign from our car. On my most recent visit I arrived later in the day and still managed to get a blue badge parking space.

entering the park

Paultons Park had male, female and shared baby change and Accessible toilets before entering the park as well as a kiosk for snacks.

Upon entry to Paultons Park a member of staff will scan your ticket allowing you entry to the park. We found the entrance queue to move quickly with plenty of turnstiles. The entrance operators were very efficient considering all children under 1 meter are measured on the gate as they enter for free.

Image of welcome sign above Paultons Park entrance gates

Wheelchair wristband and access route

Upon arrival, wheelchair users can collect their wristband from First Aid and get further information about what rides are suitable for their access needs. To get to the first aid centre turn right once entering the park. The wheelchair wristband and access route is for anyone using a wheelchair or adapted prams. If the wheelchair user is able to do stairs then they can still use the wristband on rides that don’t have a wheelchair access route. At least 1 carer must accompany the wheelchair user on rides and attractions.

In order to use the wheelchair wristband on rides and attraction enter the ride via the wheelchair access route the wheelchair routes are not signposted but are normally the same as the queue assist entrance. You can find the exact location of the wheelchair access route and how many people can ride with the wheelchair user for each ride as well as all the accessibility restriction for each ride in the ride accessibility guide that you can find by clicking here ride accessibility guide Paultons Park. There is no time outs or restrictions on how many times you can ride per day when using the wheelchair user band.

collecting queue Assist wristband and time card

Once entering the park you will need to head to first aid to collect your queue Assist time card and wristband. To get to the first aid centre turn right once entering the park. On both days of our visit there was no queue at first aid and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Once inside First Aid the QR code on my queue assist pre book confirmation email was scanned. I was then given:

  • A wristband for queue assist user to wear (colour based on height)
  • A time card
  • An information booklet

Don’t worry if you are unable to wear a wristband the staff checked if I was able to before putting the wristband on. If you are unable to wear a wristband then from our experience the staff will look for an alternative solution. The information booklet included all of the access information for each ride as well as where to enter the ride using the queue assist scheme. This was a brilliant addition as the information was very well laid out with each ride having all of the access information. This was particularly helpful for me due to my vision and processing issues as I find it challenging to navigate the information when it’s all in a big table.

How Queue Assist Works

Once you have collected your time card you can go head to your first ride. You will be timed out after all rides for the length of the main queue. The number of guests able to ride with the queue assist user is generally 3 but it varies depending on the ride you can find out how many people can go on each ride with the queue assist user in the accessibility ride guide that you can find by clicking here ride accessibility guide Paultons Park. Please see the example below of how ride access works at the rides:

Step 1: Check ride restrictions

Before going through the queue assist entrance for the ride of your choice it’s important to make sure you have checked the ride restriction to make sure this ride or attraction accessible for you. The ride restriction board are clearly located at the entrance for each ride and attraction. More detailed accessibility and sensory information as well as the queue assist entrance location and how many people can ride with you is available for each ride in the ride accessibility guide that you can find by clicking here ride accessibility guide Paultons Park.

Accessibility Information sign for Drakon Top panels: Minimum height 1.2 metres Unaccompanied 1.4 metres Restrictions: Children must be at least 1.2 metres tall to ride. Children under 1.4 metres must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Advisory: Not recommended for expectant mothers. Not recommended for anyone with a heart condition, back or neck problems, high or low blood pressure, epilepsy, Ménière’s disease, recent surgery, or any condition that makes riding a roller coaster unsafe. Guests with broken or prosthetic limbs are only permitted to ride if the limb does not interfere with the lap bar or seat belt, as this presents a risk during evacuation. Accessibility: Not suitable for guests with limited mobility who cannot manage steps. Wheelchair users cannot ride because they cannot access evacuation areas. All guests must be able to walk, stand, and board via steps; assistance may be needed from the ride entrance to the exit. Guests with other disabilities should use the dedicated entrance next to the ride exit. Rules: Children under the required height must ride with an accompanying adult. Each rider must remain seated with arms and legs inside the car from dispatch until the ride stops in the station. Loose items must be stored in the baggage or loose-item area. Hats and long, loose clothing must be removed and stored. Do not block the station gates, entrance, exit, or surrounding areas. Staff are available to assist and give further instructions.

Step 2: Find The Queue Assist Entrance

Now you have found out the ride is accessible for you it’s time to locate the queue assist entrance for the ride you would like to enjoy. The queue assist entrance can be found by the sign saying queue assist. The entrance for queue assist users is normally located at the ride exit but a few rides have a separate queue assist entrance.

image of grey metal stairs with black edges and red handrail. in the background you can see a train on Drakon break run and the outside of the ride station.

Step 3: Show your Queue assist wristband and time card

Once reaching the front of the queue assist queue line for your chosen ride a ride host will come and ask to see your wristband and time card. They will write a time on your timecard in line with the length of the main queue line.

For example, if I went on Drakon at 14:00 and the main queue line was 40 minutes the time written on my card would be 14:40. This means that you are unable to use queue assist on any rides and attractions untill 14:40 when the time on your card is up. This is commonly referred to as a timeout. It’s important to remember that a lot of rides at Paultons Park are limited to once per day for queue assist users these rides will be marked off on your time card.

Step 4: Enjoy the ride

It’s now time to experience your chosen ride! Whether you’re going on thrilling rollercoaster or a chilled ride in Peppa Pig World I hope you enjoy being able to access the ride thanks to the queue assist system.

image of Drakon rollercoaster going around the track.

Step 5: Relax until your timeout is finished

Once you have experienced the ride of your choice it’s time to take a break and re-regulate until your timeout is over so in my example till 14:40. When your time out is up you simply repeat the process with another ride or attraction.

Our Day at Paultons Park

Now we’re in the park and have sorted all of our access out it’s time to enjoy the park and get on some rides. In this section you will find a write up of our day at Paultons park including all the accessibility information of course. So come and enjoy the day with us!

Tornado springs

We headed straight to Tornado Springs Paultons Park newest area. I had heard reviews online about how well themed this area was and on my goodness the theming in this area was some of the best I’ve seen at any UK park. This is something to bear in mind if you’re a fellow sensory avoider to noise.

The area felt very immersive which can be a little challenging and lead to sensory overload for me so I wouldn’t recommend heading to Tornado Springs first if you struggle with Immersion. I would recommend ear defenders as I did struggle with the music in the area. There were a couple of outdoor play areas within Tornado Springs along with plenty of seating. In terms of facilities there were toilets, a gift shop and a restaurant called the Route 83 Diner I detail our experience at Route 83 at the ‘lunch’ part of this blog.

storm chaser

I was very excited to ride Storm Chaser so headed there first. Storm Chaser is a very nice family coaster that is quite thrilling for a 1 meter height restriction. It ended up being my favourite coaster of the trip.

In terms of access, the queue assist entrance was well marked and near the exit of the ride as you can see from the photos below. There was also lift access available. The lift was located next to where you go for a queue assist so follow the signs for queue assist as both the lift and stairs are located next to each other. There is nothing to worry about in terms of sensory as you’re waiting outside and the station was ok as you’re not in the station for long.

Cyclonator

On the hunt for some more thrills we headed on Cyclonator. Cyclonator was quite a forceful flat ride with a 1.2 meter height restriction definitely aimed at older children.

In terms of access, with a queue assist pass you entered the ride via the exit. It’s also worth noting that there were a few steps up to the ride platform.

windmill towers

If you’re looking for a less forceful flat ride in the area then the windmill tower drop towers are the perfect choice. At just a 0.9 meters height restriction this ride is perfect for smaller sensory seekers as the ride spins and drops. Very similar to fire and ice at Legoland Windsor.

In terms of Access, the queue assist was located via the exit this is an ongoing theme with the rides at Paultons. I found the ride easy to get onto however, as two adults on a quiet day we were unable to sit directly next to each other due to weight distribution. Not an issue for me but something to consider if you require your carer sat directly next to you at all times.

Image shows windmill towers witch is a drop tower the ride is mid cycle and the colour is red.

farmyard flyer

Of course we had to get the cred and experience farmyard flyer! With a 0.9 meters height restriction it was quite a little coaster with some nice theming elements as you go around the track.

In terms of access, the queue assist entrance was located next to exit by the photo booth. There was also lift access available at the same place.

In the image you can see Farmyard Flyer exit stairs and queue assist stairs as well as the lift and the signs directing to queue assist.
Image of Farmyard Flyer with airplane theming. you can also see the queue time board showing 0 minutes queue.

lost kingdom

Lost Kingdom is a Dinosaur-themed area featuring a nice number of rides all themed around… you guessed it, Dinosaurs! This area had lots of animatronic dinosaurs as well as dinosaur meet and greets throughout the day. In Lost Kingdom there are also a restaurant and shop.

Iona stood under the lost Kingdom entrance arch

Flight of the Pterosaur

Once finishing up in Tornado Springs we headed on to the Flight of the Pterosaur. This was a very fun tame little coaster. With a height restriction of just 1 meter it’s perfect for getting little ones used to an over the shoulder restraint. On the first day of our visit there was no main queue so it’s safe to say we had plenty of re-rides we were even allowed to stay on.

In terms of access, the queue assist entrance was located next to the exit of the ride, however to far back for the ride operator to see that you were waiting. This did mean that it could be challenging for the ride operator to know you’re waiting. In terms of sensory, the station was absolutely fine and was also level. Flight of the Pterosaur was certainly a very fun ride!

Image of Flight of the Pterosaur queue assist entrance. You can see a gate with a sign telling queue assist users to wait as well as the entrance to the station.
Image of Flight of the Pterosaur just finished the lift hill and about to go down the first drop. The track and ride car are yellow with black restraints.

lunch

Lunch is a challenge for me on days out due to many food outlets normally being busy and restaurants normally playing music and being too overwhelming for me. We also often find parks have a lack of areas to eat your own food. However, we were very surprised to not encounter any of these issues during our visit to Paultons Park. We ate at both the Route 83 Diner and the Wild Forest Restaurant. We found both restaurants to have options for picky eaters like me as well as being reasonably priced with our food in both restaurants arriving quickly. I managed to access both the restaurants due to them both having booth style seating available. This made it a lot easier to cope in the restaurant environment. Both the restaurants didn’t have music playing, giving me the opportunity to cope. We also noticed there were plenty of picnic areas located around Paultons Park.

critter creek

Critter Creek was a small little area with a Playground, 2 rides and a bug emporium. I highly recommend this area if you or someone in your party isn’t used to theme parks and want to start off in a small, quieter and less overwhelming area.

Image of Critters creek entrance sign. the sign is plant themed.

Cat-o-pillar coaster

With, one final cred to get of course we had to take a ride on the Cat-o-pillar coaster! A fun coaster that really whips around the corners With a 0.9 meters height restriction.

In terms, of access, for queue assist you wait at the bottom of the exit, don’t worry it’s all well signposted and the ride operator can see you from there. When it’s your time to ride they will put a sign across a row of the air gates so that no one from the main queue goes on that row allowing you to take your time getting on the ride.

beasty burrow

Beasty Burrow is a bug experience with lots of different little animals like bugs and fish. This is a good attraction for a sensory break with soft lighting – it was almost like an aquarium-style attraction. The walkthrough had level access so perfect for wheelchair users as well.

peppa pig world

Of course we couldn’t visit Paultons Park without checking out Peppa Pig world. The area was incredibly child friendly it was like walking into an episode of Peppa Pig. This area was the busiest of all and many people tend to go there first so if Peppa Pig world is an area you would like to do I recommend going later on in the day. In order to access the rides in the area with the queue assist scheme you simply enter by the exit of the ride, of course showing your time card and wristband. Wheelchair users can stay in their wheelchair in Peppa Pig’s house contacting the operator in Pedro Pony’s Ride Photo kiosk to gain access. The Victorian Carousel and Rio garden train ride are other wheelchair accessible rides and attractions available on park. I just wanted to note that there is no queue assist available to meet Characters such as Peppa and George so this is something to bear in mind as on our visit, the queue to meet Peppa and George was the longest queue in the park.

Quiet Areas

Visiting a new theme park can be difficult for me no matter how much preparation we do. When we visit any theme park we always ask if they have a quiet room available should I require it. We asked the staff in first aid if there was an area available they informed us that there was a space in guest services however all it was is a quiet room without anything inside. They also let us know about the brilliant gardens.

During our visit I had an autistic meltdown due to it being my first theme park visit of the season and visiting a park I haven’t been to before. As we had the prior information from staff in first aid we headed straight to guest services and my Dad asked if we could use the quiet room. The staff in guest services were great and quickly directed us to a quiet room as discussed before there wasn’t anything in the room however this wasn’t a problem for me as I simply needed a calm space to calm down before I could reregulate.

Once I’d calmed down we then had a walk around the gardens. This was great in helping me to re-regulate as it was a quiet space with lots of sensory elements like plants and water feature. Without the use of these spaces we would have had to leave and go home. By having these spaces available to guests with additional sensory needs it allowed me to continue to have a lovely day at Paultons Park.

Maybe over time the quiet room could have simple calming items added to it such as bean bags and possibly a bubble tube. These items are very simple to implement and can really help guests like me with additional sensory needs to calm down quicker.

Valgard (Realm Of The Vikings)

Valgard: Realm Of The Vikings is Paultons Park’s brand new area for 2026 featuring 2 rollercoasters, a UK first family flat ride, a Viking-themed dining and an outdoor play area. The area has amazing theming and truly has the Viking feel.

The Valgard area had full level access and with it being such an immersive area there was plenty of theming pieces to see and some true atmosphere to enjoy if you are unable to transfer from your wheelchair. As I have mentioned the area has lots of theming that can easily cause sensory overwhelm. for example, the area has some themed audio and animatronics.

Drakon

Drakon is Paultons Park’s first coaster that goes upside down and brand new for the 2026 season. I have created a full and in-depth ride review blog post for Drakon of course with all the disabled access information. You can find my Drakon ride review blog post by clicking here

Raven

Formerly known as Cobra, Raven is a fun family wild mouse style coaster that has been re-themed to Vikings. I love Raven it had a super fun layout with some pretty unexpected twists and drops. Raven has a minimum height restriction of 1.1 meters when accompanied by an adult. In order to ride alone Raven had a minimum age requirement of 8 years old plus a minimum hight requirement of 1.3 meters.

In terms of access, The queue assist and wheelchair access route is fully level and is located via the rides exit ramp located next to the on ride photo booth. The ride platform for Raven is also level with just a step down into the ride vehicle making wheelchair transfers possible. When riding Raven on the queue assist or wheelchair user schemes a maximum of 3 accompanying people can ride with the disabled person. Raven is only permitted to be ridden once a day on the queue assist pass. Raven had a few noticeable additional sensory effects when coming in from the queue assist entrance and during the ride these were: mist effects, music and voice announcements in the station as well as animatronics around the ride.

Vild Swing

Vild Swing is family thrill ride with some surprisingly intense swings. It is the first of its kind in the UK and whilst it looks very quite tame it creates a more intense ride experience then expected whist still being suitable for all the family. Vild is perfect for mini thrill seekers with a minimum height restriction of just 95cm to ride. Children under 7 need to be accompanied by an adult on the Vild Swing.

In terms of access, Vild Swing has a full level all way to the ride seats making for easy transfer. The queue assist and wheelchair access route is located at the ride exit. When riding Vild Swing on the queue assist or wheelchair user schemes a maximum of 3 accompanying people can ride with the disabled person. Vild Swing is only permitted to be ridden once a day on the queue assist pass. The ride has quite an intense swing that may make your tummy feel funny. The ride seats are individual with each seat having its own lap bar. There was no additional sensory effects during the ride however, there is music in the area and voice overs from the ride operator.

Final Thoughts

I was very impressed with Paultons Park, the park was incredibly well maintained and clean, we didn’t see a single piece of litter on the floor during our visit. There were plenty of accessible toilets available as well. I was very impressed with the access services available to guests at Paultons Park and how well they have implemented the use of the access card. I highly recommend Paultons Park for an accessible day out or if you just want the creds. The pre booking access has a good system and works well ensuring that everyone can have a turn on the rides and attractions available.

Well, thank you for joining me for a very wholesome day at Paultons Park. Some pictures and information in this blog post were taken at the Paultons Park theme park superfan event 2026 where I got complimentary park tickets making it a gifted trip but of course all my views are my own. I would like to thank Paultons Park for giving me such a great opportunity. See you on my next theme park adventure bye for now!
