We have experienced a few upsetting moments at a number of major UK theme parks due to restrictions placed on wheelchair users. 

Matthew loves to be thrown about by some of the faster rides.  All too often though, the entrances for these rides designated for disabled access, have stairs that are impossible to negotiate by wheelchair or buggy.

All we can suggest is that you phone the theme park and discuss specifically what rides are available to disabled children especially those in wheelchairs.

  LegoLand - (Windsor, Berkshire) - This is a great theme park that is 95% accessible to wheelchair users (even having installed lift access to ride platforms) and has more disabled parking than I've ever seen.

Thorpe Park - (Chertsey, Surrey) - As with most Theme Parks, there will be rides that are not accessible to wheelchair users.  However, we found that Thorpe Park has more accessible rides than most.

Upon entering the park, head for the customer services shop which is just beyond the Dome.  The disabled guest will receive a yellow wristband and a ride card.  Most  rides are only accessible at the exits of the rides.  This avoids steps and tight corridors.

The rides we were able to access with Matthew were.

Flying Fish (Matthew's favourite)
Colossus
Vortex
Stealth (A lift is available)

Nemesis Inferno is not accessible for wheelchairs.

Although marked as accessible, the rides will require man-handling of the disabled guest from the chair to ride.  The operators are friendly and more than happy to wait.

There is plenty of disabled parking close to the front gates but get there early for a space.  There are also disabled toilets available.
