Your safety matters to us

Our Luge instructors will give you a full briefing on how to Luge before your first ride. It’s simple to use, just pull back on the handlebars to slow down or stop and release the handlebars slightly to accelerate.

Luge Code of Conduct

Our purpose-built Luge carts provide the rider with full control over their speed and direction using a unique braking and steering system.

The Luge & Skyride Codes of Conduct are both displayed at the top of the Skyride before the start zone.

Age/ height restrictions apply for children who wish to ride the Luge solo. Children need to be 6 years old and be taller than 120cm to ride alone.

Otherwise, they can share a cart with an accompanying adult (with a child doubling ticket) who is over 150cm tall and at least 19 years old.
