Special Needs Information
Some of our guests may have needs that will affect their use of the park. The following information will assist our guests with special needs in planning an enjoyable visit.
Parking – Reserved parking stalls are located in each parking lot. They are conveniently located and marked by the standard wheelchair symbol/sign.
Access to Main Pavilion – Our Main Pavilion houses basic park services such as restrooms, food, beverages, arcade games, and first aid. Access to the Main Pavilion is gained via entrances on the North and South sides of the building.
Access to Rides – The following rides are available to our guests in wheelchairs: Skyfighters, Granny Bugs, Race Cars, Lady Bugs, Boats, Jeeps, Chairplane, Merry-Go-Round, Yo-Yo, Helicopters, Train, Scrambler, Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, and Tilt-A-Whirl. Please note that most rides will require additional lifting to enter these rides for our wheelchair guests.
Each ride has its own loading and unloading procedures that our ride operators would be happy to explain. In most cases, guests in wheelchairs may join the ride line and enter as usual. However, if a guest is unable to wait in line, exit clearance may be granted to that person plus up to three companions to assist in loading and unloading. A pass for this is available at the ticket window.
Our ride operators are not permitted to lift or carry a guest from a wheelchair.
Groups larger than four are requested to wait in line while those unable to negotiate the line wait near the exit. When those in line are ready to board, our ride operator will assist in bringing everyone together for the ride.
The following rides are not recommended for wheelchair guests: Scat and Magic Mountain Slide.
Safety is a top priority of our entire staff. Ride Manufacturers, Safety Inspectors, and Park Management set the guidelines to protect all park guests. Please assist us by using your best judgment as to which rides are safely accessible for our guests with special needs.
