Lightwater Valley Theme Park; The Ultimate

Lightwater Valley

Lightwater Valley is the home of The Ultimate classic coaster that was engineered with help from British Rail as well as the thrill attractions such as Apollo.  Younger visitors will revel in the extensive outdoor play area plus a variety of fledgling rides & indoor attractions.  Away from the rides you can linger within the adjoining shopping village.  This all-rounder theme park is ideal for families with a variety of needs but away from the extensive queue times you can find at other popular UK theme parks.

i. The Early Bird; generally the park opens 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 early that gives thrill seekers a chance to undertake Eagles Claw & Skyrider whilst young families can enjoy the extensive outdoor play aread  & a few younger attractions.

ii. Go Go Go! Be ready to access the main park as it opens to the public around 10.30am.  Thrill seekers should make their way straight to the back of the park to tick off a few of the main thrill rides before the queues begin to build.

iii. The Ultimate; did you know you can shave up to a minute off your journey time on The Ultimate if you opt for an afternoon visit for a faster and perhaps choppier ride!
