Do you need to pre-book entry tickets or can they be purchased on the day?
Hi Natalie,
Looking at the ticket information on the official website, it states that tickets are available at the gate, but they recommend pre-purchasing to avoid disappointment.
I am not sure what the said disappointment is, but my guess is that they recommend this for quicker entry and not having to wait in line – that or there may capacity limits they have to abide by.
When buying tickets online, you can select what times you wish for the rider wristband to be valid (if you are looking to do that), so it’s likely there is capacity limits on the rides if they are trying to spread people throughout the day.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Michael
