WELCOME TO DARIEN LAKE! Accessibility Guide.pdf · WELCOME TO DARIEN LAKE! Darien Lake is Western...

WELCOME TO DARIEN LAKE! Darien Lake is Western New York’s family-fun destination, where you can relax in a variety of accommodations just steps away from the thrills of rides, shows and a 10-acre Water Park! This guide is designed to assist you in planning your day, and provides an overview of services and facilities available for Guests with disabilities who are visiting Darien Lake. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all Guests. This guide is intended to supplement the Darien Lake Park Map and Guide, which contains additional Park information. This guide also lists all of the attractions, rides, shows and Guest assistance areas and includes symbols that will help you find these areas on the Park map. Many theme park rides incorporate safety systems designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. These systems may place restrictions on the ability of an individual to safely experience the ride. Guests of exceptional proportions; Guests who have or have had health concerns with their heart, back or neck; expectant mothers; people who have had recent surgery and/or injury; and people with casts, braces, or restrictive devices, may not be safely accommodated by these systems. For example, height requirements are based on the size needed for restraint devices to function properly and the level of developmental maturity usually associated with a certain height. Darien Lake’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, other riders or Team Members. Guests who feel affected by this policy are encouraged to visit the Guest Relations Office to obtain a list of the rides they can safely ride. The Ride Admission Policy list will provide information for our ride attendants to help accommodate you. NOTICE: The information in this guide is subject to change. Please feel free to contact a Team Member regarding accessibility prior to boarding a particular ride. You may also visit Guest Relations for current information on accessibility and services.

Service Animals Service Animals are welcome at Darien Lake. All Service Animals must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times. Owners are responsible for disposing of animal waste. Where permitted, Guests with Service Animals may follow the same attraction entrance procedures as described for Guests using wheelchairs. The following are suggestions that will maximize the enjoyment of Guests with Service Animals: • We suggest arriving at all shows at least 20 minutes before

show time. • Although Service Animals are discouraged from riding any

ride, Service Animals may be accommodated on:

§ Giant Wheel § Grande Carousel *Service Animal may sit or stand between two horses or

ride in the chariot. § Splashtown Water Park *Service Animals are not permitted on slides and

attractions, in pools, or in rivers. Please review additional ride information in this guide to determine if you feel the ride experience is appropriate for your animal. Contact a Team Member at the ride for assistance. The Park cannot be responsible for the Service Animal should the animal not tolerate the ride experience well.


8

To experience an attraction that does not permit Service Animals, the animal may be left with a responsible non-rider. The Guest attending to the animal may then board the ride without waiting in line once the first Guest assumes responsibility of the animal. Service Animals are not permitted in any fountains, ponds and/or pools/rivers. Service Animals are the responsibility of the owner and cannot be left unattended. Guests are responsible for cleaning up Service Animal waste and for controlling the Service Animal’s behavior. Darien Lake Team Members are not permitted to care for Service Animals. If at any time your Service Animal’s behavior becomes a threat to the safety or well-being of other Park Guests or Team Members, the Guest will be asked to leave the premises.

RIDE ACCESS INFORMATION General Information At Darien Lake, safety is the only consideration that takes precedence over fun! Theme Park rides expose riders to forces, speeds and other intense elements that may cause distress or injury to persons with pre-existing health conditions. Guests should consider these elements when determining the suitability for all riders. All riders must be in good health. We recommend that Guests who are pregnant, have high blood pressure, heart conditions, neck or back problems, have had recent surgery, are prone to motion sickness or those with any medical condition that may be affected by the elements of the ride must carefully heed all warning signs at each ride entrance. Guests unable to properly use seating and/or safety restraints or understand and follow verbal and/or written safety procedures must not ride. In order to experience the ride, Guests must be able to maintain the proper riding position throughout the ride and brace themselves upright in their seat keeping their head erect and their back against the seatback. Guests must generally be able to use the restraint device properly, remain seated upright at all times and hold on tight. Guests must keep their head against the headrest and hands, arms, legs and feet down and inside the ride vehicle. Children must be supervised at all times. Guests must also be able to demonstrate a willingness and ability to comply with verbal and written ride requirements. The ride requirements and health restrictions are listed on a sign at the entrance to each ride and/or attraction. Guests with casts or braces will be restricted from riding certain rides where the cast or brace may present a hazard to the Guest or others. If a cast is permitted on a ride, the cast must fit comfortably within the ride vehicle and not interfere with the required riding position or function of the restraint, if applicable.


9

Please consult with our Guest Relations staff for more information or if you are in doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride. Ride evacuations may be required due to technical difficulties, weather conditions, or power interruption. If a ride evacuation is required, Guests may need to negotiate stairs from the highest point of the ride and down steeply inclined catwalks or steps. Guests requiring assistance during the ride evacuations may be escorted last in order to expedite the evacuation process. Please inquire about specific procedures prior to boarding a particular ride.

Guests of Exceptional Size All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be positioned and fastened properly to permit Guests to ride. Due to rider restraint system requirements, Guests of exceptional body proportions may not be accommodated on some of our rides. Larger or taller Guests (including Guests who weigh more than 215 pounds, have a chest dimension of 52 inches or greater, or a 40-inch waistline) may not be able to ride the following: Twister, Ranger, Rolling Thunder, Viper, Predator, Ride of Steel, Motocoaster and/or Boomerang. The following rides have maximum height requirements: Mind Eraser (80 inches), Ride of Steel (76 inches), Shipwreck Falls (74 inches), Sleighride (78 inches) and Twister (77 inches). Maximum weight limits are posted at most Splashtown Water Park attractions. Guests may go up the exit to ensure the restraints function properly prior to waiting in line. A test seat is available at the entrance to Ride of Steel.

Height Requirements Height requirements are posted at each ride. All Guests, including those using wheelchairs, must meet the height requirement. Guests may be officially measured at Guest Relations to receive an appropriate wristband.

Official Measuring Station Guests may be measured at the official measuring station located at Guest Relations, where they will receive a corresponding height wristband. Parents and Guardians may get helpful information on attractions/rides their child can ride with and without a Supervising Companion. Guests are measured from the ground to the top of the head. Those unable to stand are measured for body length using a flexible measuring tape.

Loose Articles When planning your day at Darien Lake, bring only items that can be safely secured in cargo pockets (fastened with Velcro, a button or zipper) or a waist pack fastened with a zipper. Waist packs must not interfere with the restraint system(s) or proper riding position. Most rides cannot accommodate loose articles including cell phones, pagers, cameras, stuffed animals, purses, backpacks,


10

basketballs, umbrellas, beverage containers, personal entertainment devices, hats, etc. Items must be safely secured in cargo pockets, a waist pack, left in a locker, or left with a non-rider. Team Members cannot be responsible for these items. Glasses/sunglasses must be secured on some rides. Items taken on Grizzly Run, Shipwreck Falls and Thunder Rapids will get wet! Scarves, capes or other items worn loosely around the neck must be removed prior to riding/participating on most rides/attractions. Loose fitting footwear must be removed prior to boarding the following rides/attractions:

§ Blast Off! § Haymaker § Lasso § Mind Eraser

**Aqua socks are the only footwear permitted on rides/attractions in Splashtown Water Park. Items lost inside a ride perimeter typically cannot be retrieved until the Park closes. Notify Guest Relations for assistance. Guests are welcome to enjoy food and drink in the queue, however, these items must be consumed or disposed of prior to boarding.

On Ride Camera Policy For safety reasons, picture taking is not permitted on any ride except Giant Wheel and Grande Carousel. Because of the nature or dynamics of all attractions and the potential for injury, unsecured cameras, video cameras, or cameras with large lenses are not permitted on the rides. To store such equipment, either return them to your vehicle or hotel, or use the lockers that are available for a nominal fee. Lockers are located at:

§ Main Gate at “Locker and Wagon” Rentals § Entrance to the Wave Pool at “Lockers and Tubes” § Midway Lockers

Please understand that Darien Lake Team Members may not hold cameras for Guests. If you have no provision for leaving your camera, other members of your party may wait with the camera in the Parent Swap area while the remainder of your party experiences the ride. When those members of your party finish the ride, simply exchange the camera and the waiting Guest(s) will then be permitted to ride.


11

RE-RIDE POLICY Due to the dynamic physical forces experienced while riding, all Guests will be asked to exit the following attractions after each ride:

t High Thrill Attractions Boomerang, Mind Eraser, Predator, Ranger, Motocoaster, Twister, Viper, Silver Bullet, Ride of Steel and Blast Off!

n Moderate Thrill Attractions Corn Popper, Lasso, Hornet’s Nest, Sleighride, Pirate and Rowdy’s Heave Ho!

Guests who decide to ride again will be asked to exit and re-enter the main queue. Guests utilizing the accessible entrance will be asked to return after a period of time equivalent to the current wait time in the main queue.

Safety Signage Before experiencing any ride or attraction, please note all safety warnings for each that is posted at the entrance to each ride/attraction location to assist you in deciding whether or not to ride/participate based on your own abilities and physical condition. The following information is an example of the information contained within each safety sign: Remain seated upright at all times and hold on tightly. Keep your head against the headrest and keep hands, arms, legs and feet inside the ride vehicle. Follow all instructions and supervise children. Guests must not ride if unable to properly use seating or safety restraints or understand and follow safety procedures as required by the manufacturer. Guests must demonstrate appropriate observed behavior indicating a willingness and ability to participate and/or follow rider requirements. Guests under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol may not ride. Guests with standard or electric wheelchairs or Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECV) and who otherwise meet the physical requirements to ride the ride must be able to transfer to the ride vehicle’s seating. Many rides recommend that Guests with the following conditions do not ride:

§ Back or Neck Condition § High Blood Pressure § Heart Condition § Pregnancy § Recent Injury, Illness or Surgery § Any other medical condition that might be aggravated by

the ride/attraction


12

Height/Weight Requirements Some rides require a Supervising Companion (at least 14 years of age) to ride beside a rider who does not meet the height requirement to ride alone. Many rides do not permit hand-held infants. Loose articles are not permitted. Please leave items with a non-rider or place them in a locker. Darien Lake is not responsible for lost or damaged articles. Shirts must be worn at all times while riding. Footwear that could fall off during the ride must be left on the ride platform.

Before You Ride Most rides at Darien Lake accommodate Guests using wheelchairs through the ride exit. See specific ride information at the end of this guide for instructions on how to enter each ride. On all rides and/or attractions, Guests may need assistance from another member of their party in order to board safely. Those using wheelchairs will need to transfer from their wheelchair into the ride vehicles seating to ride. Darien Lake Team Members are neither trained nor permitted to assist beyond helping to steady or support the Guest. Therefore, we recommend that Guests plan to visit the Park with someone who can physically assist them when necessary.

Definitions Every ride entrance lists height requirements and special instructions regarding the ride. Darien Lake uses the following terms:

Supervising Companion A Supervising Companion is someone who physically and mentally meets all the requirements to participate in the ride themselves, is at least 14 years of age, and exhibits the maturity of someone 14 years of age or older.

Accompanied By Whenever a Guest needs accompaniment, the accompanying person must meet all the ride requirements, as well as assist the Guest. This includes helping the Guests in the boarding and exiting of the ride, assisting the Guest in maintaining postural control while participating, and assisting the Guest down stairs, catwalks, or ladders in the event of a ride evacuation.


13

Hand-held Infant A hand-held infant is a child who is unable to walk to the ride unit independently or maintain independent seated postural control.

Functioning Extremity A functioning extremity is a limb over which a person has control. A prosthetic device is considered a functioning extremity.

Ability to Hold On or Brace Ability to use one’s arm(s) or hand(s) to maintain a grasp on an assist bar and support one’s body during normal and emergency procedures on an attraction and to use one’s legs to brace to maintain a seated position during the forces of the ride.

Participation Criteria Darien Lake’s Ride Admission Policy is designed to allow Guests to participate in the enjoyment of our Park as much as possible. The policy was developed based on the requirements of the manufacturer and by analyzing the physical and mental attributes required to safely experience each particular ride. Each ride was evaluated for the criteria necessary for an individual to participate safely. It is our policy to allow anyone to ride who meets all these requirements and is not a hazard to him/herself or others. We continue to evaluate and update our Ride Admission Policy as necessary. The evaluation of each ride considered the following thirteen (13) criteria which may be required to experience a particular ride safely: Ability to maintain the proper riding position throughout the ride The Guest must have the body and spinal control to maintain the proper riding position throughout the ride without the aid of other people or devices and be able to maintain the proper riding posture even during bumping or other characteristic movements of the ride. Weight distribution to allow the restraint device to function as designed The weight distribution of the Guest’s body must not interfere with any of the ride or attraction’s safety and restraint devices as they were designed. Control of upper torso – including head and neck The Guest must have sufficient muscle control to support their head, neck and upper torso in the proper position during the ride or attractions designed dynamic motions. Ability to hold on with one functioning hand A functioning hand is an upper extremity or prosthesis with fingers that has the ability to grasp the restraint device and exhibits good grip control, the ability to brace and is strong enough to maintain the proper riding position throughout the duration of the ride.

Ability to hold on with two functioning hands Ability to hold on with two functioning hands as described above. Ability to hold on with one functioning arm A functioning arm is an upper extremity or prosthesis that has the ability to arm-grip the restraint device by wrapping the arm around the restraint device and is strong enough to allow the Guest to maintain the proper riding position throughout the duration of the ride. Ability to hold on with two functioning arms Ability to hold on with two functioning arms as described above. Ability to brace self with one functioning leg Guest must have one functioning leg, natural or prosthetic, for bracing their body during the course of the ride or attraction. Ability to brace self with two functioning legs Guest must have two functioning legs, natural or prosthetic, to be used for bracing their body during the course of the ride or attraction and maintaining balance when entering and exiting a ride or attraction. Minimum of two functioning extremities Guest must have a minimum of two functioning extremities, natural or prosthetic, (two legs, two arms, or one arm and one leg) to brace themselves during the ride and assist in entering and exiting the ride or attraction. Minimum of three functioning extremities Guest must have a minimum of three functioning extremities, natural or prosthetic (two legs and an arm or two arms and a leg) to allow the Guest to brace in a tripod manner during the ride. Ability to enter and exit the ride without endangering self or others Guest must be able to enter and exit the ride without jeopardizing themselves or others and to assist with their own evacuation, if necessary. This may include entering through the exit or having someone aid him or her in boarding. If a Guest has to be lifted in and out of a ride unit, he/she must be accompanied by a companion who is accustomed to doing this. For the safety of ride or attraction operators and the Guest, our operators are instructed not to perform this function. Appropriate Observed Conduct Guest must demonstrate appropriate observed conduct by indicating a willingness and ability to understand, participate in and follow all rider requirements. Appropriate observed conduct may include but not be limited to maintaining the proper riding position, attention to and compliance with safety instructions, proper use of restraints and safety equipment and a willingness to participate in the attraction.


15

In addition to the basic physical and mental requirements defined above, each ride was evaluated relative to specific temporary conditions which may prevent a Guest from safely riding a particular ride. The specific conditions evaluated were:

§ Broken collar bone § Cervical collar or neck brace § Full arm cast § Lower arm cast § Braced arm cast § Full leg cast § Lower leg cast § Bilateral abduction leg brace (brace between legs)

Guests wearing casts or other restrictive devices may not be able to ride if the cast or restrictive device interferes with the restraint device(s), proper riding position or if prohibited by the manufacturer. Casts are not permitted on any of the slides in the Water Park. Guests wearing full and/or lower leg casts may not ride Chucky’s Mud Buckets, Motocoaster or Ride of Steel. The suitability of safely carrying hand-held infants on each ride was also evaluated.

Amputations & Prosthetic Devices All Guests must possess sufficient body length for the restraint device(s) to function as intended by the manufacturer in addition to having the ability to maintain the proper riding position throughout the duration of the ride/attraction. Guests with any lower amputation above the knee may not ride Predator, Ranger, Ride of Steel, Rolling Thunder or Sling Shot. Guests must disclose all prosthetic device(s) to a rides Team Member prior to boarding. Unless otherwise stated in the ride descriptions section of this guide, prosthetic devices may be worn during the ride/attraction provided the device is properly secured and will remain in place throughout the duration of the ride/attraction. Guests wearing arm prosthetic devices may not ride Motocoaster, Redhawk, Ride of Steel, Rolling Thunder, Shipwreck Falls or Sling Shot. Guests wearing leg prosthetic devices may not ride Blast Off, Mind Eraser, Motocoaster, Redhawk, Ride of Steel, Rolling Thunder, Twister, Shipwreck Falls or Sling Shot. In some cases, the prosthetic device may be removed to permit ride access. Please speak with a Guest Relations Team Member for details. Unless otherwise stated in the ride descriptions section of this guide, prosthetic devices are permitted in the Water Park provided the device does not have exposed metal parts, a pad can be wrapped around exposed metal parts in some circumstances to grant access.

Ride/Attraction Accessibility Accessible entrances are available at most rides/attractions. Ride Team Members will inform you on how to board each ride/attraction. Guests must transfer from their wheelchair to the ride vehicles seating for certain rides/attractions. Ride Team Members do not have the specialized training required to physically load and/or unload Guests who need assistance.


16

Guests needing assistance should plan to visit the Park with someone who can physically assist them when necessary.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: At times, rides may close for maintenance or periods of inclement weather. In the event a ride needs to be evacuated (which could result from a mechanical problem, weather conditions or power interruption), a Guest may need to maneuver across catwalks, from the highest point of a ride, and up or down steep grades or steps. Prior to riding, you and/or an Operations Team Member should determine if companion assistance would be required in the event of an evacuation. Accessible Boarding Pass Procedure The following procedure will assist Guests who need to board utilizing the accessible entrance. Guests utilize the accessible entrance to meet a ride Team Member and request a boarding time “reservation.” The Guest who was issued the Accessible Boarding Pass must be present for screening.

• The ride Team Member assigns a boarding time “reservation” based on the length of the current wait time in the main queue. This boarding time “reservation” is written in on the Accessible Boarding Pass.

• If a special seat is desired, (e.g., front or back seat on a coaster) it should be requested at this time. Due to the popularity of some seats, the wait time may be extended to accommodate the length of the line.

• The Guests are not required to remain at the accessible entrance, but should return to the accessible entrance with their party (a maximum of six Guests including the Guest who the pass was issued to) at the reserved boarding time.

• The ride Team Member then crosses off the reservation time, indicating to other ride Team Members that a new “reservation” may be made. To be fair to all Guests, only one boarding time “reservation” may be obtained at a time. Obtaining a boarding time “reservation” simulates waiting in line, Guests are only permitted to wait in one line at a time.

GUESTS MUST MEET ALL RIDER REQUIREMENTS

TO RIDE/PARTICIPATE.
