Accessibility

The assessment of each ride consists of the following criteria, which may be required to safely ride a certain ride.

• ABILITY TO EXHIBIT INDEPENDENT SEATED POSTURAL CONTROL UNDER THE DYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE RIDE
  Explanation: Most rides require that riders have the body and spinal control to sit upright without the aid of other people or devices and be able to maintain proper riding posture, even during bumping or other characteristic movements of the ride.
• APPROPRIATE CENTER OF GRAVITY
  Explanation: Certain rides require that a rider’s body has the appropriate weight distribution above/below the waist for that ride’s restraint system.
• CONTROL OF UPPER TORSO INCLUDING NECK AND HEAD
  Explanation: Most rides require that riders have sufficient muscle control to support their head, neck, and upper torso during the course of the ride.
• ABILITY TO HOLD ON WITH UPPER EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have either one, or both, functioning arms to hold on during the ride cycle. A functioning arm is an upper extremity or prosthesis exhibiting good grip control, the ability to brace, and the strength to allow the Guest to maintain the proper riding position throughout the duration of the ride.
• ABILITY TO BRACE SELF WITH LOWER EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have one, or both, functioning legs to be used for bracing the body during the course of the ride. A functioning leg is a lower extremity or a prosthesis that can be used for bracing.
• MINIMUM OF ONE, TWO OR THREE FUNCTIONING EXTREMITIES
  Explanation: Certain rides require that riders have a MINIMUM of one, two or three functioning extremities (two legs, two arms, one arm and one leg, etc.) to brace themselves during the ride.
• ABILITY TO ENTER/EXIT THE RIDE WITHIN SPECIFIED PARAMETERS WITHOUT ENDANGERING SELF OR OTHERS
  Explanation: Guests must be able to enter and exit the ride without jeopardizing themselves or others, and to assist with their own evacuation if necessary. This may include arrangements such as entering through the exit or having someone in their party assist them in the boarding process. If a Guest has to be lifted in and out of the ride unit, a responsible person who is accustomed to doing this must do so. Ride operators are not trained to lift or physically assist Guests.
• MENTAL CAPACITY TO BE AWARE OF HAZARDS TO SELF AND OTHERS; OR OF FAILURE TO RIDE IN PRESCRIBED MANNER
  Explanation: All rides require that riders have sufficient awareness to understand the consequences of actions that may lead to injury to self and/or others. Guests may be able to enjoy select rides when accompanied by a responsible person.

• Each Guest must have the ability to maintain riding posture and brace themselves throughout the course of the ride against potential forces created by the ride and/or other participants.
• Guests with conditions such as pregnancy, back, neck, or bone problems, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, recent surgery, or other health conditions that could be aggravated by bumping or jarring are not permitted to ride all rides. Please read all safety signs at the rides prior to riding.
• There is always a remote chance that a ride might be evacuated. Evacuations may be necessary due to such causes as a mechanical problem, weather conditions, or power interruption. If an evacuation is required, you may be required to maneuver across catwalks, sometimes from the highest point on the ride. This may include walking down steeply inclined steps or catwalks or waiting for an extended period of time in the ride vehicle. Note: our Team Members are not trained to lift or carry Guests.
• Any Guest who rides a ride must be able: (1) to be seated properly in the required riding position, (2) to have hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the ride unit at all times, and (3) to use all safety devices required in the normal operation of the ride.
• Any Guest whose size or build would affect the applicable safety restraints (seat belts, lap bars, harnesses, etc.) from functioning properly will not be permitted to ride.
• A responsible person is one who physically and mentally meets all the requirements to ride the ride, is over 48” tall, and exhibits maturity.
• ALL RIDE HEIGHT and WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS APPLY. Each ride is reviewed specifically to determine the size limits necessary to make safety restraints effective, and to meet the ride manufacturer’s requirements. For more information regarding rider height restrictions, please visit the Guest Service Center at the admissions building.
• Riders with casts above the elbow must stop at Guest Services to get a list of rides they can ride. If the cast is below the elbow, there are no ride restrictions.

• RESPONSIBLE GUEST – a Guest that (1) complies with the necessary requirements to experience the ride, (2) is approximately 16 years old, and (3) possesses the physical and mental ability to supervise someone throughout the ride.
• INFANT – A handheld child that is too young to walk or sit up on their own.
• TODDLER – A young child who can walk independently.

All shows have wheelchair access.

We have menu boards available to assist you when ordering at many of our popular food stands.

Due to the design of certain ride vehicles and restraint systems, guests may have difficulty fitting into some rides. If you are wearing a cast or brace, please stop at the Guest Service Center to get a list of what rides you can ride. Note: there are no restrictions for arm casts below the elbow.

On most attractions, guests wearing prosthetic devices will be permitted to ride as long as the device is securely attached and will remain in place throughout the ride cycle. The exceptions to this rule are:

• Roar-o-Saurus – Riders are not permitted to ride with two (2) prosthetic devices unless they are surgically attached. However, they must have three (3) functioning extremities to ride. If the rider only has one leg, the remaining limb must have a knee. 

In order to ride, all restraints must be fastened properly. Riders of exceptional size (height/weight) may have difficulty fitting in the following: Roar-o-Saurus, Dr. Geysers (test seat available), Crazy Barn, Flying Fish and the Polar Coaster.

Magnets are used on the following ride: Roar-o-Saurus

We offer an alternative access program that, if you qualify, will allow you to use the accessible (ADA) entrance of the ride. The staff at Guest Services will ask you a series of questions to see if you qualify for this program. If you qualify you will receive a yellow Accessibility Pass, allowing you access to the ADA entrance for the rides. The ADA entrance will be noted by a blue sign. In most, but not all, cases this is the exit of the ride. Please wait until instructed by a Ride Operator to begin boarding.

Please note: the Alternate Access Program is good for the individual that receives the Ride Admission Pass and three (3) additional Guests. The individual with the pass must ride for the pass to be valid.

If granted admission into the Alternative Access Program, you will be able to initially board any attraction with a minimal wait. After riding certain attractions one time, you will be required to get a boarding time approximately equal to the wait time for that ride in the regular queue. You must wait until the given time to ride any other attraction that assigns wait times. You can only have one boarding time at any given time. You cannot ride the same ride that requires a wait time twice in a row without receiving a wait time. If we have stopped admitting Guests into the regular line for any reason, we will not admit Guests with an Accessibility Pass, either. This includes giving wait times or boarding with a time already assigned. Wait times must fall within regular park hours. You can ride any other attraction not listed below at any time. Rides that assign wait times after riding: Antique Cars, Pirate Ship, Polar Coaster, Dr. Geysers.
