I'm accompanying someone as a carer am I able to ride with them?
To ensure our Essential Companion scheme supports those who need it most, eligibility is assessed
exclusively by our partners,
Nimbus Disability, using their secure Access Card system.
You are likely eligible if Nimbus determines that you:
- Require essential assistance from a carer or personal assistant to access our rides and attractions safely.
- Have a disability or medical condition where this support is necessary.
Successful assessment by Nimbus Disability provides proof of eligibility in one of two ways:
- An Access Card displaying the “+1” symbol (obtained via the paid Route Two application).
- A specific Nimbus ID number (obtained via the free Route One application for Ocean Beach visits only).
If you already hold a valid Access Card with the “+1” symbol, your eligibility is confirmed for the duration of the card’s validity. You do not need to re-apply; simply bring your Access Card when you visit.

Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is NOT a part of the MAX Card scheme and does not accept these as proof of carer status or to obtain discounts.
I lost something when I visited have you found it?
Any lost property found inside the park is handed in to the Middle Arcade you can contact them on 0191 456 1617.
