EasyPass for Schools

EasyPass is one of our reasonable adjustments for students who are unable to stand in the main queue line whilst waiting to board a ride, due to medical reasons or disability.

Instead students are placed in a virtual queue allowing them to wait comfortably before accessing the ride via the EasyPass entrance at their allocated time. EasyPass does not allow immediate and unrestricted access to rides and is not a ‘queue jump’ service. EasyPass allows the student who is unable to queue and one other guest to access the rides via the EasyPass entrance.

Applying

To apply for EasyPass for your eligible students, please request an application by using the form or contacting our Education team.

All applications must be completed at least 7 days prior to your visit.
