Each experience is placed in a different area of the Theme Park for guests to find, the rides will all be included in the price of a theme park ticket.
Francis Jackson, General Manager, said: “We are committed to creating fun and thrills for families and thrill-seekers and the new retro experiences are different to anything we offer on the theme park. We have introduced a series of new outdoor attractions which are included in the price of a theme park ticket offering guests a nostalgic spin-back to the 80s, which provides an exciting addition which we’re sure our guests will love.
“We are delighted to announce that the new outdoor attractions will be available from when we open on April 12th. Safety is our number one priority and as well as number of robust health and hygiene measures, we will continue to operate on a reduced capacity when we open, therefore we have strategically placed the new rides around the theme park to help us ensure guests are dispersed and social distancing can be maintained.”
