2014 Guest Assistance Guide
WARNING Many rides at Worlds of Fun & Oceans of Fun 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 speed, 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 Relations. Participate responsibly. You should be in good health to ride safely. You know your physical conditions and limitations, Worlds of Fun & Oceans of Fun does not. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or you could aggravate a preexisting condition of any kind, DO NOT RIDE! While all amusement attractions have associated risks, certain individuals are at increased risk for injury from these attractions. Please carefully evaluate each attraction to determine if you or members of your party can safely participate. If you would like more information about the abilities our attractions require, stop by Guest Relations at the main entrance of our parks. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable day at Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. Information in this guide is subject to changes. Please remember to put litter in its place. We Recycle! 4545 Worlds of Fun Avenue Kansas City, MO 64161 2014 Edition | www.worldsoffun.com © Peanuts Worldwide LLC, Peanuts.com © 2014 Cedar Fair, L.P. 2M/WF14-046 2014 Guest Assistance Guide COMING in 2014 Welcome to Worlds of Fun & Oceans of Fun! We are glad you’re here. 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 a history of heart, back, neck trouble or recent surgery, pregnant women, 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 systems to function properly and the level of maturity usually associated with a certain height. Our Ride Admission Policy has been developed based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, our past experience, and our evaluation of each ride/ attraction 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 each ride without risk of injury to that person or other riders. Any guest who feels he/she may be affected by this policy is encouraged to visit the Guest Relations Office for more information. 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: Worlds of Fun CATEGORY DESCRIPTION Low Thrill Rides Rides that are generally calm and gentle in nature. Mild Thrill Rides Rides that generally have low speeds with gentle motion and braking. Rides have smooth transitions with some changes in elevation and speed. Moderate Thrill Rides Rides that generally have low to medium speeds and/or heights with moderate motion and braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in direction and/or speed during portions of the ride. High Thrill Rides Rides that generally have medium to high speeds and/or heights with moderate to rapid braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in speed, direction and/or elevation. Aggressive Thrill Rides Rides that generally have one or more of the following: high speeds and/or heights, aggressive and unexpected forces, and rapid directional or elevation change. Riders will encounter many unexpected rapid changes in speed, direction and/or elevation. Oceans of Fun CATEGORY DESCRIPTION Low Thrill Rides This is a low speed, and/or shallow water attraction. Mild Thrill Rides This is a low to medium speed attraction, and/or water depth to 48 inches. Some rider control, maneuvering and/or swimming skills required. Moderate Thrill Rides This is a medium speed attraction. Height and water depth may vary. Moderate or unexpected forces can be generated during the ride. This attraction may require rider control and/or strong swimming skills. Physical activity may be strenuous. High Thrill Rides This is a fast paced ride experience. Riders will encounter changes in speed, direction, elevation, strong water currents, and/or depth of water, some of which is unexpected. This attraction requires rider body control and strong swimming skills. Aggressive Thrill Rides This is a high speed and/or deep water attraction with turbulent turns, drops and/or strong water currents with changes in speed, direction, elevation and/or deep water, which may be unexpected. This attraction requires rider body control and strong swimming skills. Key To Symbols The following symbols and ride ratings are used to define our rides on the following pages. Ambulatory Prohibited for guests with neck trouble Maximum Speed of Ride Must be at least this height to ride. Accommodates Wheelchair Prohibited for pregnant women Must be accompanied by supervising companion, of proper height to ride Cannot be any taller than this to ride/participate Transferable Prohibited for guests who have had recent surgery Must be accompanied by a child to ride/participate Maximum Height of Ride Prohibited for guests with back trouble Prohibited for guests with heart trouble or high blood pressure Lifejacket is required Maximum Water Depth 1 Alternate Access Entrances & Attraction Boarding Passes • RIDES WITH NO LINES – Guests may ride at any time via the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride’s exit) and be seated on one of the next available cycles. Our Ride Admission Policy and Alternate Access Entrances are designed to help you safely experience our facilities and provide equal access to all guests. Information on where guests access the ride is posted on each Ride’s Safety Guide 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. The safety of guests and employees are our #1 priority at Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun. 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. Here’s How It Works • The guest with a mobility impairment or ASD should visit Guest Relations 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. If you require the use of an Alternate Access Entrance, please visit Guest Relations to obtain a Rider Access Form, Boarding Pass, and Guest Assistance Guide. 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. • 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. • For rides that do not have lines, the Guest and his/her party simply takes the Rider Access Form with them through the ride’s Alternate Access Entrance and they will be boarded on the next available cycle. To provide equal access for all guests, we have developed a Boarding Pass Program which allows guests with mobility restrictions or 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 lines. • For rides that do have lines, the Boarding Pass will be required. 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 is able to ride other rides that do not have lines while waiting for the boarding or “ride” time issued on the Boarding Pass. There are two options available for guests who are in possession of a Boarding Pass: • RIDES WITH LINES – Guests 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 or enjoy another ride that does not have a line, visit a shop, see a show, or play a game until their boarding time. • 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. 2 Access Symbols Ride Safely Symbols indicate boarding procedures for each ride and are defined below. Safety First People who jeopardize another person’s safety, do not obey regulations and rules, behave in an unruly fashion, or give the indication of being under the influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants will not be permitted to ride. Please read and observe all posted rules, regulations, instructions, and warnings prior to participation on the attractions. This symbol is used to identify rides where the guest may remain in their wheelchair. These rides include Worlds of Fun Railroad and Le Carrousel. Rides using this symbol can accommodate guests who are able to transfer from the wheelchair to the ride unit by themselves or assisted by a member of their party. State of Missouri Rider Responsibility Law: RSMO 316.230 Requires that riders must obey all warnings regarding this ride and behave in a manner that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor. This symbol identifies rides where guests must be able to walk independently or be assisted by a member of their party. A wheelchair may be left in a designated position on or near the ride platform. Evacuations In case of an emergency such as weather conditions, mechanical problems, or power interruption, evacuations may be required. Guests may need to maneuver across catwalks at high points of a ride and may need to go down steeply inclined catwalks or stairs. At Oceans of Fun, guests may be asked to evacuate pools as quickly as possible using stairs or ladders. Guests of Larger Size All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be positioned and fastened properly to allow guests to ride. Due to rider restraint system requirements, guests of larger 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. If evacuation from a ride/attraction is required, for safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory guests prior to evacuating guests that may require additional assistance. If so, you accept any danger due to delayed evacuation or if we need to physically lift or lower you. Our larger guests may experience difficulty on Patriot, Prowler, Spinning Dragons, SteelHawk, Detonator, ThunderHawk and Cyclone Sam’s. Maximum weight limits are posted in this guide and at all locations with restrictions. Guests may enter the ride via the exit to ensure that the restraints function properly prior to returning back to the regular queue line. A test seat is available at Patriot at the rides entrance. 3 Loose Articles Oxygen Tanks For safety reasons large items such as strollers, large stuffed animals, basketballs, etc., are not permitted past the ride entrance. Other items such as umbrellas, crutches, large cameras, etc., may be taken past the ride entrance but will not be permitted on the ride. Eyewear and headwear must be secured. Headphones will not be worn on rides. Please store such items in lockers or leave them in your vehicle or with a non-rider. Ride operators will not be allowed to hold items belonging to guests. Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. If you lose an item on a ride, we will search for the article as soon as is practical. In order to keep the ride in operation an immediate search may not be possible. Entry into restricted areas is prohibited and could result in personal harm; violators will be prosecuted. All found items will be taken to Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun Guest Relations. Found items will be donated or destroyed after 14 days, if not claimed. Due to the dynamics of our rides, oxygen tanks may be restricted. Please stop by Guest Relations to identify any rides that may allow your tank. Oxygen tanks may be taken into all food, merchandise or entertainment buildings. Prosthetic Devices Guests with any type of prosthesis should not ride unless they can ensure the device is properly secured and will remain in place during the ride. Prosthetic devices may be removed as long as the rider still meets the Ride Admission Policy requirements to ride. Due to manufacturers requirements, all leg prosthetics are prohibited on the Patriot. Guests with prosthetics which do not have any exposed metal parts are generally permitted on all waterpark attractions. Please consult with a member of management prior to riding to ensure that you have a safe riding experience. Casts and Braces Recent Surgery, Heart, Back, Neck Problems and/or Pregnancy Magnetic Fields Guests with a history of recent surgery, heart trouble/high blood pressure, neck trouble, or any other condition that may be aggravated by riding, or who are pregnant, should carefully heed all warning signs at each ride entrance. If you are in doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride or would like more rider information, please visit our Guest Relations building located at the main entrance to the park or request to speak with a Ride Operations Supervisor. Guests with full arm or leg casts or braces will be restricted from riding rides where the cast or brace may present a hazard to the guest or others. Guests with any type of broken bone are prohibited from riding Timber Wolf and Prowler. Please consult with the Guest Relations staff for information. Certain rides use magnetic fields for braking; these rides include Patriot, Prowler and Spinning Dragons. Magnetic gates are also used throughout the park. Please stop by Guest Relations if you have questions regarding magnetic fields. Basic Information Pregnancy All riders should be in good health and free from any condition known or unknown that might be aggravated by participating in a ride or attraction. To ride, guests must have the ability to brace themselves upright in the seat and support their head and neck during ride movements. It is recommended that pregnant women refrain from riding all rides with the exception of Le Carrousel, Grand Carrousel and the Worlds of Fun Railroad. 4 Additional Services General Posted Safety warnings • 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.
