The rides

Twenty-four rides in five corners of the valley

Every card shows its height band up front — the same four band names as the wristbands at the gate. No queueing forty minutes to be turned away at the front.
The Hollow

The Bramblewick Bolt

Our big one — 720 metres of coaster threaded through the oak wood. The drop into the Hollow is the photo you will take home.

125cm+
The Green

The Netherdale Wheel

Thirty-two metres up, eight minutes round. On a clear day you can see the whole dale — and on a very clear one, York Minster.

90cm+
The Beck

Beckwater Flume

Four minutes of drifting, one four-second plunge, guaranteed wet socks. Ponchos £1 at the kiosk or bring your own.

110cm+
The Orchard

The Gallopers

Our 1926 carousel, restored twice and repainted every winter. The horses have names; ask at the gate for the list.

Any height
The Green

Chair-o-Plane

The classic swinging chairs, gentler than they look — the view over the lake does most of the thrilling.

110cm+
The Green

Dodgems

Twelve cars, proper sparks, and the same argument about who crashed into whom that your parents had here in 1988.

90cm+

The ride finder

How tall is your smallest?

Pick a height and see the day before you book it. We measure at the gate and issue wristbands in the same four bands — Acorn, Sapling, Rowan, Oak — so nothing is a surprise once you are through the turnstile.
