Can I get a Ride Access Pass?

Chessington World of Adventures offers a Ride Access Pass to guests who may find it difficult or cannot stand for extended periods of time – whether this is due to a physical disability or a learning/emotional impairment. FYI the Ride Access Pass does not grant instant access to rides and is not a fast-track pass. The Ride Access Pass assigns you a virtual wait time instead of standing in the queue line. Guests who have a Ride Access Pass can bring up to 3 friends along with them.
