CAMELOT THEME PARK - entrance fee question for a child 1 metre

We are planning a trip to Camelot Theme Park, and have an entrance fee question...

I have a four year old who is borderline 1 metre exactly. Under 1 metre are free entrance to the park, but would he be able to enjoy the rides that are over 1 metre in height or does he have a different coloured wristband or such so he can only go on baby rides. Your help would be appreciated as I could save a possible £19.

Thanks to all those who reply in advance, i will be sure to click your thanks button!!!

    tbh I don't see the problem here...either he's over 1m or he isn't...

    If he is, he pays and goes on the rides...

    If he isn't, he doesn't pay and doesn't ride...

    Seems straightforward to me...

    Nice to see that people are trying to help out here!

    I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer. I'm taking my little one there too soon. I was looking around for a discount.... or two.

    Good luck with finding a sensible answer to your question.

    I didn't think they gave out wrist bands i think that it is assumed that as the rides children under one metre can go on are limited then they don't pay but they wouldn't stop them going on the baby rides.
    I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.

    if he is borderline 1m it depends on the staff whether or not he would be allowed on the big rides (some are more lenient than others). I have got to the front of the queue with my son only to be told he was too small for the ride when they measured him against their height guide.
    sorry that's not much help but it all depends how short of 1m he is. If he would be unable to go on the rides I would say go for the free option!
    The other thing is he might be given a different colour wristband if you go for the under 1m option.

    Stick him in a pushchair and tell him to pretend he is asleep as you go through paying bit!;)
