Making Sure the Kids Are Safe
This year parents have the option of having their kids measured at the Guest Services Booth where they will be presented with a colour sticker indicating which rides can be safely used. All that kids and parents have to do is match their colour sticker with the appropriate colour code found at the ride.
Three Simple Rules for Safety
Firstly, riders should use the colour code system to make sure the ride is suitable for their height. Secondly, tie up loose hair and remove any loose articles that might fall off during the ride. Riders should also remain seated, keep hands and feet inside and use all safety equipment provided by operators. Lastly, at the end of the ride, patrons should remain seated until the ride has come to a complete stop.
