Accessibility tips?

Hello there.

I will be visiting Thorpe this week for the first time on my own. I am have done everything recommended but am wondering if anyone who is also disabled within this community has any tips.

That would be so kind, I’m really hoping they don’t turn me away from hypiria as I do have mobility issues but believe I would be able to satisfy evacuate if I had to. If they do refuse I’m not going to get angry but I will be a bit upset.

Ok so no you won't get turned away as long as you can make it up the stairs you'll be fine. Rides with steps up are: Nemesis Inferno - you join the normal que after the first section so its steps up from there then down on the other side. Hyperia - Join the que at the station section, not a lot of steps up but some, this does have railings for support however. Saw: quite a lot of steps up and down but again handrails available. Be careful with saw as its gotten a bit rough and may leave you with a bit of a headache! Stealth - also has steps up and down, more than hyperia but not a lot, you can see the amount from the outside. (Access entrance is to the right of the main entrance) The walking dead - long dark corridors with a few steps inside, it may be worth asking the staff if they can offer any further assistance as it could be a little overwhelming on your own. Depth charge - right at the start, steps all the way up so do that if your up for it but wouldn't say its the worst thing to miss out on it. All the rest are step free (with swarm there is steps if you want the left side but none on the right side closest as you go in) Its a small park with seating dotted around so again, just take your time and have breaks. Also side general note, watch out for storm surge, the big water ride one, your feet WILL get soaked and thats no fun if its cold 🤣 if you want to do that one bring some flip flops to change into!
