Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book in advance?
Tickets must be purchased in advance of showing up at the event. We're expecting a lot of the sessions to sell out in advance.
What’s included in the session price?
Your ticket covers access to the slide using single & double rings plus body boards for a full hour. Spectators don’t need to pay, only those taking part require a ticket.
How long is each session?
Sessions run for roughly an hour and include a short safety briefing at the start. You will be notified 10 minutes before the end of your session to allow you to have your final slide.
What time should I arrive?
We recommend getting here around 15 minutes before your session. It can get busy, and check in takes a bit of time, arriving early means you can get sorted without rushing and be ready to go when your session starts
How does check in work?
Only the person who made the booking needs to check in, everyone else can head straight to the holding area. Please make sure you have your tickets ready for scanning upon arrival.
Do I need to complete a disclaimer?
When purchasing tickets, you are given a tick box to check which acts as your agreement and understanding of our terms and conditions, along with sliding rules.
Do I need to read any rules?
The day before your visit, we will send you an emailer outlining all safety information. We recommend reading the safety email before you arrive so you know what to expect. There will also be a short briefing on site before your session begins.
Weight & Slide Distance
There is no weight restriction for taking part. Please be aware that slide distance will naturally vary from person to person depending on factors such as weight, body position and push momentum. Generally, heavier sliders may travel further and are more likely to reach the splash area. Not every slider will reach the splash area due to a variety of factors.
What facilities are available on site?
We’ve got everything you need for your visit, toilets, seating areas, and a catering trailer for snacks and drinks. There’s also a large on site car park for easy access.
Are there changing facilities?
We provide a limited number of communal changing areas for AFTER your session. Please arrive ready to slide.
Are there lockers?
We don’t have lockers, so we recommend leaving valuables locked in your car. Participants will have access to a bag drop area.
Can spectators come?
Yes, spectators are welcome and free. There’s seating and food available, so they can relax and enjoy the atmosphere while you’re on the slide.
How many goes do i get?
Your 1 hour session entitles you to as many goes as you want. On average, guests are getting between 5 - 7 goes per session.
Is there an age limit?
The minimum age is 4. Children aged 4 -6 must be accompanied on the slide by an adult entry ticket (over the age of 18) at a 1:2 ratio. Those aged 7-17 must have a responsible adult present on site at all times, either spectating (no ticket required) or taking part (ticket required). The supervising adult remains fully responsible for them throughout their visit.
Participants should be confident around water and able to access the slide. Spectators are not allowed on the launch pad or between the slides.
What are the safety rules?
All activities are supervised by trained staff, but you take part at your own risk.
Children remain the responsibility of their parent or guardian, and all instructions from staff must be followed at all times. Please visit our slide rules for more information on safety.
What if I arrive late?
We’ll get you checked in and briefed as quickly as possible so you can still join in. However, sessions can’t be extended, so you may miss some time, it’s always best to arrive early.
What happens in bad weather?
We operate in the rain, you’re going to get wet anyway.
In more extreme conditions like strong winds or thunderstorms, sessions may be paused or cancelled. If we cancel, you’ll be contacted to rearrange or receive a refund. If you haven’t heard from us, you should still travel as planned. We recommend checking your email and our social channels before setting off.
Do you have photographers on site?
Yes, occasionally we have professional photographers on site taking photos for marketing and social media. We respect our participants privacy and if you wish for photos not to be taken of you or your guests, please let a member of staff know.
Are dogs allowed?
We love dogs however, we do not allow dogs onto the site.
