How the Ride Access Pass works
The Ride Access Pass lets guests who find queuing difficult wait for rides away from the queue, with a return time instead of a place in the line. It is not instant access to rides, and it does not include entry to the park: a day ticket or an annual pass booking is still needed.
At the UK resorts every RAP visit has to be pre-booked, free, in the Merlin Ride Access Pass app, with a Nimbus Access Card or a Merlin Digital Access Pass. Each date has a limited number of places, one per guest, and that limit is what this page counts. In school holidays and Halloween the dates go weeks ahead, so if a date you want still has places, book it now.
Who qualifies and how to book is the operator's call, not ours: read the operator's own Ride Access Pass page.
