The Ride Admission Program is designed with guest safety and the safety of others in mind. Our team at Guest Relations will assess each Guest seeking accommodations based on their individual abilities, ride dynamics, ride restraint systems, and manufacturer requirements to determine what rides they can safely enjoy. Guests will be given a ride accessibility questionnaire to complete to assist us with our assessment. Once completed, guests will receive a list of rides that they may safely enjoy.

 

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

Reservation cards are required to be shown when boarding the ride.
