Companion & Carer Assistance
At some rides and attractions, it may be necessary for guests to be assisted in or out of a ride vehicle. It is recommended that guests requiring additional assistance plan to visit with a companion/carer who can physically or verbally assist when necessary.
Ride stoppages may require exiting outside of the usual load/unload locations. It may also be necessary to exit the vehicle on the opposite side of the platform. Some rides require exiting to be navigated independently. It may be necessary to navigate a number of stairs or varying terrain after being exited from the ride.
Unfortunately, our team members are not able to physically assist guests into or out of ride vehicles, nor are they available to accompany guests for the duration of the day.
In addition to visiting Guest Services to discuss the nature of our rides and attractions, we strongly recommend a companion/carer experience our rides/ attractions first to gain an understanding of rider suitability.
