WARNING
Many rides at Carowinds are dynamic and
thrilling. There are inherent risks in riding any
amusement ride. For your protection, each
ride is rated for its special features, such as
high speeds, steep drops, sharp turns, or other
dynamic forces. If you choose to ride, you
accept all of these risks. Restrictions for guests
of extreme size (height or weight) are posted
at certain rides. Guests with disabilities should
refer to our Ride Admission Policy available at
Guest Services. Participate responsibly. You
should be in good health to ride safely. You
know your physical conditions and limitations,
Carowinds does not. If you suspect your health
could be at risk for any reason, or you could
aggravate a pre-existing condition of any kind,
DO NOT RIDE!
All passenger restraint systems, including
lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts,
must be positioned, fastened and tightened
properly to allow guests to ride.
Information in this guide is subject to change.

2015 Guest Assistance Guide
Welcome to Carowinds!
We are glad you’re here. We have plenty of exciting
rides and shows for everyone. At Carowinds, we are
proud to have earned one of the best safety records
in the industry. We are committed to providing our
guests with a safe environment and we want our
guests to have a safe and enjoyable day.
Many amusement park rides incorporate safety
systems designed by the manufacturer to
accommodate people of average physical stature
and body proportion. These safety systems may
place restrictions on the ability of an individual
to safely experience the ride. Extremely large or
small individuals, guests who have heart, back
or neck trouble, pregnant women, people who
have had recent surgery, people with casts,
braces, restrictive devices or disabilities may not
be safely accommodated by these systems.
For example, height requirements are based on
the size needed for safety restraints to function
properly and the level of maturity usually associated
with a certain height.
Carowinds Ride Admission Policy is based on
the requirements of the manufacturer, our past
experience and our evaluation of each ride using our
knowledge of the ride in both normal and emergency
operating conditions. Our prime consideration is the
ability of each person to endure the dynamics of a ride
without risk of injury to that person or other riders.
Any guest who feels he or she may be affected
by this policy is encouraged to review this Guest
Assistance Guide.
Ride Rating System
A Ride Rating Program has been designed which provides a scale for rating the thrill factor of each ride. The intent
is to provide a scale to guide Park guests in determining which attractions to ride based on their own experience
level, physical condition, and abilities.
Each ride/attraction is placed into one of five categories:
CAROWINDS

Alternate Access Entrances &
Attraction Boarding Passes
Information on where guests access the ride is
posted on each Ride’s Rider Safety Sign. All guests,
regardless of point of access, are required to meet all
riding requirements for the ride, including height and
medical restrictions in order to ride/participate.
Carowinds Ride Admission Policy and Alternate
Access Entrances are designed to help you safely
experience our facilities and provide equal access to
all guests.
Here’s How It Works
• The guest with a mobility impairment or ASD
should visit Guest Services upon his/her
arrival at the park to express his/her inability to
wait in the regular line. Some questions are
asked to ensure that the rider has the required
physical criteria in order to safely experience
rides, and a Boarding Pass is issued for
the guest in question and up to 3 riding
companions.
The safety of guests and employees are our #1
priority at Carowinds. Safety is a shared partnership
between the park and our guests. Not everyone can
safely enjoy every ride. Guests are asked to review
and carefully consider the ride restrictions using good
judgment. However, we reserve the right to make the
final decision regarding the eligibility of a rider based
on a person’s size, weight, willingness to ride, or other
limitations. Please refer to your individual Rider Access
Form for rides that will safely accommodate you.
• In addition to a Boarding Pass, the guest with
a mobility impairment or ASD will receive a
“Rider Access Form” that lists the rides that
the guest with a disability can safely enjoy.
If you require the use of an Alternate Access
Entrance, please visit Guest Services or First Aid
to obtain a Rider Access Form, Boarding Pass, and
Guest Assistance Guide. The Guest Assistance Guide
explains the ride entry guidelines and procedures
and provides specific information related to each
attraction. Alternate Access Entrances are intended
to accommodate guests with mobility restrictions
or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and not to
bypass others waiting in line. This service is available
for a guest with restricted mobility or ASD and up
to three companions.
• The rider (or a member of their party) obtains
a boarding time from the ride associate at the
Alternate Access Entrance, equivalent to the
length of the ride line. The rider can then wait
comfortably away from the queue area.
• The guest listed on the Boarding Pass must
be present as a rider when a Boarding Pass is
being utilized.
• Guests may not accumulate more than one
boarding time at a time.
To provide equal access for all guests, we have
developed a Boarding Pass Program which allows
guests with mobility restrictions or Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD) to access rides at specified times via
the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride’s exit)
in order to avoid crowds and waiting in the regular
queue. Guests who are in possession of a Boarding
Pass will obtain a boarding or “ride” time on the
Boarding Pass that is equal to the anticipated wait
time for a particular ride from the ride associate at
the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride’s exit).
Guests can then choose to rest comfortably away
from the queue area, visit a shop, see a show or play
a game until their boarding time.
• Due to the nature of the attractions in
Boomerang Bay, Alternate Access and
Boarding Passes are only available at
Crocodile Run via the exit. Boarding Passes,
however, are required for Halloween Haunt
Mazes if the Maze has a line.

Access Symbols
Guests Of Exceptional Size
Symbols indicate boarding procedures for each ride
and are defined below.
All passenger restraint systems, including lap
bars, shoulder harnesses and seat belts, must be
positioned and fastened properly to allow guests
to ride.
This symbol is used to identify rides where the
guest may remain in wheelchair.
Due to rider restraint system requirements, guests
of exceptional size may not be accommodated on
some of our rides. This may apply, but not be limited
to, guests who exceed 6'2" or those who exceed
225 pounds, have a 40" waistline or 52" chest.
Attractions using this symbol can
accommodate guests who are able to leave
the wheelchair on the midway and climb steps to a
second story station.
Rides using this symbol can accommodate
guests who are able to transfer from
the wheelchair to the ride unit. Guest must be
accompanied by a companion who can assist with
transfer, as Carowinds employees are not permitted
to physically assist guess with transferring from
their wheelchairs.

at Guest Services near the North Gate entrance.
They are intended to make your wait in line shorter
by streamlining the rider height measurement
process. For the safety of your child, a standard
play shoe which does not contribute excessively to
the child’s height is required. For example, a child
is not permitted to wear platform shoes to help
meet a height requirement. Carowinds reserves
the right to ask that shoes be removed to ensure
that a child’s height is not being artificially enhanced
or manipulated.

Loose Articles: Travel Light
Additional Ride Information
When planning your day at Carowinds, it’s
best to travel light. Bring only items that can be
safely secured in cargo pockets (fastened with Velcro,
a button or zipper) or a waist pack fastened with
a zipper.
To ensure guests can hear safety instructions,
headphones must be removed before boarding.
Personal entertainment devices must be safely
secured in a cargo pocket, waist packet, left in a
locker or with a non-rider.
Most rides cannot accommodate loose articles
including cell phones, pagers, hats, cameras, stuffed
animals, purses, backpacks, umbrellas, beverage
containers, personal entertainment devices, etc.
Please refrain from eating or drinking refreshments in
our station areas. Smoking is prohibited in all ride lines
and stations. Smoking is only allowed in designated
smoking areas within the park.
Items must be safely secured in cargo pockets, a
waist pack, in a bin on the ride platform, left in a
locker, or with a non-rider. Ride Operators cannot be
responsible for these items. On Fury 325 loose items
that are not able to be stored in cargo pockets are
not permitted in line. Glasses must be secured on all
rides. On Fury 325, Intimidator, Nighthawk, Afterburn,
and Drop Tower, glasses must be secured by an
athletic strap or they cannot be worn on the ride.
For safety reasons, taking pictures, videotaping and
filming on rides is prohibited.
Camera Policy
For safety reasons, we cannot permit on ride
photography of any kind on any ride other than
the Carolina Skytower and Snoopy’s Junction.
Due to the potential for water damage,
Rip Roarin’ Rapids, Whitewater Falls and
Snoopy’s Yacht Club riders should leave their
cameras and other valuable items with a non-rider or
in a locker.
Use of camera phones or any type of photography or
video recording devices is prohibited in any rest room
or Boomerang Bay Changing area.
Lost & Found Articles
Secure all loose articles such as glasses, cellular
phones, pagers, loose change, cameras, keys,
clothing, sunglasses, hats, wallets, etc., before you
board a ride. All items found at Carowinds are turned
in to Guest Services. If you lose an item on a ride we
will search for the article as soon as possible. In order
to keep the ride in operation an immediate search
may not be possible. Please visit Guest Services to
complete paperwork to ensure the item is returned to
you if it’s found.
Special Services
We’re trying to make Carowinds as enjoyable and
barrier-free as practical. Listed below are some of the
services we offer. Please feel free to suggest areas in
which we might improve in the future.
1.On most rides where guests in wheelchairs can
be accommodated, guests will have to leave
their wheelchairs to be seated.
For your safety, do not enter unauthorized areas.
You may be seriously injured if you enter an
unauthorized area.
2. A limited supply of wheelchairs and electric
convenience vehicles (ECV) are available for
rent at the Rental Center inside each entrance.
However, since wheelchairs and ECV’s are
rented on a first-come, first-served basis and
cannot be reserved in advance, we urge guests
to bring their own wheelchair. Wheelchairs may
not be taken out of the Park gates or to the
parking lot. However, a Park associate will be
happy to provide any assistance you may need
at that time.

Ride Safely
Our First Aid station is staffed during
park operating hours. Refrigeration for
medication, with exception for bee sting
anaphylaxis kits, is available at First Aid, and
medical equipment can be stored. First Aid
is located in Carolina Boardwalk, across from
Carolina Goldrusher. A second location is in
Boomerang Bay near Kangaroo Lagoon.
Under SC State law Section 41-18-35: Requires
riders to obey all posted signs and warnings and
instructions and to behave in a manner that will not
cause or contribute to injuring themselves or others.

fashion or giving the indication of being under the
influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants.
4. All shows and most attractions are accessible.
5. Although outside food and beverages are not
allowed in the park, individuals who have special
need/diet items due to a medical condition may
bring small coolers to accommodate such needs.
While all amusement attractions have associated
risks, certain individuals are at increased risk for
injury from these attractions. Carefully evaluate each
attraction to determine if you or member of your
party can safely participate. We reserve the right
to deny access to a ride to anyone we feel may not
be able to safely experience the ride or may be a
hazard to others.
Service animals are welcome at Carowinds.
6.
Service animals must be physically controlled on
a leash or harness at all times. The service animal
relief area is located behind North gate guest
services. Due to the nature of most rides, service
animals must remain with a non-riding member
of the guest’s party. Carowinds employees are
not permitted to take control of service animals.
Guests whose service animals demonstrate
aggressive actions toward our guests or
employees will be directed to remove the
animal from the Park. Limit one service animal
per guest.
Before riding, note all safety warnings for each
ride. In general:
• Face forward and remain seated in an upright
position with your back and shoulders
against the seat back and hold on until the
ride comes to a complete stop.
• Attention Riders: Due to the nature of
our rides, backpacks, purses, electronics,
stuffed animals and other loose items are
not permitted on most rides. Glasses must
be secured. Smaller items may be secured
in cargo pockets, waist packs, left in a
locker or with a non-rider. Carowinds is not

Prosthetic Devices
and Amputations
Casts and Braces
Guests with casts and braces will be restricted from
riding rides where the cast or brace will not fit inside
the ride unit or where it will present a hazard to the
guest or others. Any cast that prevents the arm
from bending at the elbow or the leg from bending
at the knee, are considered a “full” cast and are
restricted from most rides and slides at Carowinds
and Boomerang Bay. We suggest you delay your visit
until the cast is removed.
Guests with any type of prosthesis should not ride
Afterburn, Drop Tower, Yo-Yo, Vortex, Aerial Chase
or Nighthawk unless they can ensure the devices
is properly secured and will remain in place during
the ride. If there is any concern of the prosthesis
becoming dislodged during the ride, guests
should visit Guest Services for assistance. Due
to manufacture requirements at Fury 325 and
Intimidator, any lower body amputation must be at or
below the ankle. Due to manufacture requirements at
WindSeeker, a guest with more than one lower body
amputation below the knee is not permitted to ride.
Magnetic Fields on Rides
Magnetics are used at the following attractions:
Fury 325, Intimidator, Nighthawk, Drop Tower.

fields (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.), should
consider these factors when deciding to ride.
Guests with a single amputation above the knee may
ride Afterburn, Intimidator and Fury 325 with the use
of a separate three-point harness, provided the guest
has remaining leg and arm remnants to be secured
by the separate three-point harness. Guests should
check with Guest Services to determine if they are
eligible to use the three-point harness.
Oxygen Tanks
Due to the dynamic nature of rides, oxygen tanks are
not permitted on most attractions. Please consult
with Guest Services to speak with a member of
management to discuss available rides. Oxygen
tanks are permitted in all restaurants, shops and
entertainment venues.
Riding Attire
Most rides require proper riding attire including shirts
and shoes. Shirts and shoes are required in queues
and all park pathways at all times. Swimwear is not
permitted on rides outside of the Waterpark. For your
safety, loose clothing (including scarves and other
free-flowing clothing), must be significantly secured
or removed to prevent any interference with the
ride system.

Definitions
Criteria
Every ride entrance lists height requirements and
special instructions regarding the ride. Carowinds
uses the following terms:
Carowinds Ride Admission Policy is designed to
allow our guests to participate in the enjoyment of our
Parks as much as possible. The policy was developed
by analyzing the Neutral Criteria required to safely
ride each particular ride. Each ride was evaluated for
