WARNING
Many rides at Valleyfair 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 Services. Participate responsibly. You
should be in good health to ride safely. You
know your physical conditions and limitations;
Valleyfair 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!
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:

Guide
Welcome to Valleyfair!
We are glad you’re here. We have plenty of exciting
rides and shows for everyone. At Valleyfair, 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 and 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.
Valleyfair’s Ride Admission Policy has been developed
based on the recommendations 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 visit Guest Services to obtain
a list of the rides he or she can safely ride. Your Ride
Admission Policy list will provide information for our ride
operators to help accommodate you.

Alternate Access Entrances
• One of the two guests using the Alternate Access
Entrances must be the guest with a mobility
restriction. If the guest with a mobility restriction
chooses not to ride, all members of his or her
party must wait in the regular line.
Valleyfair’s Ride Admission Policy and Alternate
Access Entrances are designed to help you safely
experience our facilities. Rides with Alternate Access
designations will make boarding easier. If you require
the use of Alternate Access to enter a ride, please
visit Guest Services to obtain an Alternate Access slip.
However, acquiring this slip does not guarantee that
you can safely enjoy every ride. Please refer to your
individual Ride Admission Policy list for rides that will
safely accommodate you.
Ride Safely
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 members 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 other riders.
The following instructions will be of assistance for a
guest requiring the use of Alternate Access Entrances:
If you (a guest with a mobility restriction) and
only one other person are riding:
Obtain a boarding time from a ride operator at the
Alternate Access Entrance. Until the boarding time
arrives, you may rest in a comfortable location or
enjoy other attractions in the area. Once the boarding
time arrives, you may return to the Alternate Access
Entrance to board the ride. (Note: Guests may not
accumulate more than one boarding time at any time.)
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.
If you (a guest with a mobility restriction) and two
or more other people are riding:
• 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. Valleyfair is not responsible for
lost or stolen items.
You and one riding companion may enter the ride
through the Alternate Access Entrance once your
other party members have waited in the regular line
and are ready to board. In this case you do not need
to acquire a boarding time.
• All passenger restraint systems, including
lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts,
must be positioned, fastened and tightened
at all times.
Additional Information:
• Ride Associates will tell you how to board
each ride. Valleyfair personnel are not trained in
transferring you from wheelchair to ride unit and
are not permitted to do so. You should plan your
visit with someone who can physically help you
when necessary.
• No picture taking or cell phone usage
while riding.
• Keep all parts of your body inside the ride
unit at all times.
• Alternate Access Entrances are intended to
accommodate wheelchairs and those guests with
a mobility restriction and not to bypass others
waiting in line.
Access Symbols
Loose Articles: Travel Light
Symbols indicate boarding procedures for each ride
and are defined below.
When planning your day at Valleyfair, it’s best
to travel light. We recommend you leave all personal
belongings in a locker, with a non-rider or in the trunk
of your vehicle.
This symbol is used to identify rides where
guests may remain in their wheelchair.
All items must be taken on the following rides:
Thunder Canyon, Carousel, Antique Autos, Ferris
Wheel and Minnesota River Valley Railroad.
This symbol is used to identify rides where
guests must be able to walk independently or
be assisted by a member of their party.
Due to the nature of all our other rides, items must
be secured in a cargo pocket or waist pack that zips,
buttons, or has a Velcro closure. Items that cannot be
secured will not be permitted on the ride. Waist packs
must be able to be lifted over a tightened seatbelt
or lap bar and must not interfere with the proper
function of the restraint system. The waist pack must
not interfere with you properly sitting in the ride unit
with your back and shoulders against the seat back.
Your hands must be free to hold on during the ride;
therefore, nothing can be in your hands while riding.
Rides using this symbol can accommodate
guests who are able to transfer from their
wheelchair to the ride unit by themselves or assisted
by a member of their party. Valleyfair employees
are not permitted to physically assist guests with
transferring from their wheelchairs.
Guests of Exceptional Size
All passenger restraint systems, including lap
bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be
positioned and fastened properly to allow guests
to ride.
Items not able to be secured must be left in a
locker or with a non-rider. In most cases, you may
leave your items on the ride platform. It is your
responsibility not to have unsecureable items. You
accept all risk for items that must be left on the
platform or taken by the ride operator and placed
on the platform. Valleyfair and its associates are not
responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.
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.
Our larger guests may experience difficulty on
Corkscrew, Excalibur, Charlie Brown’s Wind Up,
High Roller, Looping Starship, Monster, Power

Hearing devices and other electronic devices may
be damaged by water on water rides. Please take
necessary precautions to protect hearing devices
and eyewear on all rides. Headphones or any type of
personal entertainment device must be removed in
order to hear the safety instructions. These devices
must be safely secured in a cargo pocket/waist pack
or left in a locker or with a non-rider.
You may ask the ride operator to enter the ride via the
exit to ensure the restraints will position and fasten
properly prior to waiting in line. Test seats are located
at the queue entrance of RipTide, Steel Venom and
Xtreme Swing.
For safety reasons, cell phone usage, taking pictures,
videotaping and filming on rides is prohibited.
• Tops, shoes and shorts, pants or skirts are
required on all rides.
Any guest intentionally dropping or throwing an item
from a ride will be required to leave the park.

refreshments in our station areas. Finish
food and drink before boarding.

If in doubt, please refer to individual ride listings
for locations.

serious injury.

Casts and Braces:
Guests with casts and braces will be restricted

or steps.
The ride manufacturer and Valleyfair prohibit guests
with the above condition from riding Renegade and
RipTide.
If evacuation from a ride/attraction is required, for
safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory guests
prior to evacuating those guests using wheelchairs. If
so, you accept any danger due to delayed evacuation
or if we need to physically lift or lower you.
