Lightwater Valley; Ride Queue Jump Voucher

One easy way to circumvent the queues is to pick up a Ride Queue Jump Voucher that offers 1 fastrack entrance to a selected ride or attraction.  If used well, this voucher can offer substantial queue time savings on a popular ride at the park.  At select times of the year, this offer is running over at Attractiontix when you purchase theme park tickets.

Lightwater Valley Guide; Tips & Tricks

1. The park tends to open about half an hour before the rides so you’ll have time to park up, purchase/collect tickets & find your bearings at the start of the day.  Close to the entrance, you’ll find a select number of rides that open from around 10am each day.  This gives thrill seekers a chance to undertake Eagles Claw & Skyrider whilst young families can enjoy the Angry Birds Activity Park plus a few younger ride attractions.

2. Be ready to go as the staff open the main park from 10.30am each day.  As the barriers open, thrill seekers should head straight to the back of the park to tick off a few of the main rides before queues begin to build.

3. For those looking to bypass the queues completely look out for ‘front of queue’ tickets that work effectively like as a fastrack.  This option is  only available at the park on particularly busy days or look out for Ride Queue Jump Vouchers, (see above for further details)

4. Closing times at Lightwater Valley vary each day depending upon the weather & visitor numbers.  Look out for more information on the day of your visit & those that can stay to close of business, you’ll be rewarded with fewer queues on the popular rides!

5. Picnics are welcome at Lightwater Valley and offer an easy way to make some theme park savings.  Plenty of open grassed areas and benches available throughout the setting with on-site lockers available within the reception area to store your cool bag.

6. Lockers can be found within the main reception area & are currently priced around £3 – £5 depending upon the length of time required and can be accessed as often as you like during your visit.

7. Great to see that FREE parking remains in place at Lightwater Valley Theme Park as this can be an annoying additional cost at so many theme parks nowadays.

8. Away from the theme park you’ll also find a range of retail outlets available in the adjoining shopping village, (you don’t need a theme park ticket to gain entrance), including gifts, clothing, books, plants, bedding & refreshments.  A great added attraction for those that don’t enjoy rides!

Lightwater Valley; Look Out For

1. The Ultimate is the signature ride at Lightwater Valley & certainly lives up to its name.  Engineered with help from British Rail this classic coaster is enjoyed by enthusiasts & thrill seekers alike with a load capacity of 80 people every 12 minutes.  Even better news is that you can shave up to a minute off your journey time if you opt for an afternoon visit for a faster and perhaps choppier ride!

2. Look out for the daily Birds of Prey displays that take place every day for a very close up experience. With a range of birds flying literally centimeters from your head, this is something not to be missed! Check the times of the daily flying demonstrations on the day of your visit to plan this into your trip.

3. The Angry Birds Activity Park is a great hit with younger children with an extensive array of climbing equipment, musical features, slides and tunnels coupled with fantastic theming throughout the attraction.

4. Apollo is the latest thrill attraction to join the park and is proving popular with theme park guests this year.  Here’s a chance to take in some of the best views of the park whilst you swoop & soar among the tree tops.  As this is has a relatively slow load capacity, we found it best to get this one under your belt early on in the day.
