UK Theme Parks 'Good to Go!'

Riding a rollercoaster at Thorpe Park
Merlin UK Theme Parks opened their doors on 12 April, which is great news for UK thrillseekers wanting to get their rollercoaster fix! 

Whilst the re-opening of UK theme parks is great news for theme park fans, health and safety remains a top priority. As you’d expect, a theme park day out is going to be a little different from before, but everything the parks are introducing is with guests' safety in mind to make sure everyone has a brilliant, safe visit. All Merlin Theme Parks have been awarded the VisitEngland ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry charter mark. This verifies that the parks meet the Government and public health guidance on COVID-19 and that they have all the required health and safety processes in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit.

Top Things You Should Know As You Prepare to Visit:

Some things will be new, including a pre-book ticket system to manage visitor numbers and different seating configurations on rides but you’ll probably already be used to a lot of the new measures too such as social distancing in queues and being encouraged to use cards rather than cash, as these have become the new normal when visiting supermarkets and other outlets.

  • Before You Arrive - Make sure you booked your tickets in advance with AttractionTickets.com; Walk-up tickets are temporarily unavailable. Guarantee admission on your chosen date and save up to 45% by buying your tickets in advance
  • Before You Leave Home - Check the theme park websites and social media pages for the latest information.
  • Contactless Payment - Please be ready to make on-site payments using a ‘contactless’ bank card, rather than cash, where possible.
