Cyclonator Ride Accessibility Guide

Access to the Ride

Main access route:

Access is via the entrance. There are no steps to negotiate.

Queue Assist/Access route for guests in wheelchairs:

Queue Assist and access for guests in wheelchairs is available adjacent to the Exit gate. Await the Operator’s instructions from outside the Exit gate. There are 2 steps to negotiate to the ride platform. Guests with mobility issues may find it challenging to transfer up into the ride seats.

 

Requirements for All Passengers

Cognitive Requirements:

All passengers must be able to perceive that this is a high-speed thrill ride and that, for their own safety, they should hold on at all times whilst using the ride. If there is any doubt as to a passenger’s cognitive ability, then for their own safety they must be accompanied by a responsible adult, or must not use this ride. Please note that this judgement must be the responsibility of the individual passenger, parent or carer, as it is impossible for our Operators to assess an individual’s cognitive abilities.

Restraint type:

Passengers are secured by an over-shoulder restraint and safety belt. Passenger restraints must be closed beyond a set minimum position with the safety belt fastened. If this cannot be achieved with any passenger, that passenger will be unable to ride.

Passenger Requirements:

All passengers must be at least 1.2m tall and at least 6 years old to ride with a supervising adult. Passengers must be at least 1.4m tall and at least 8 years old to ride without a supervising adult. There is no maximum height restriction.  1 adult can accompany up to 4 children who do not meet the requirement to ride alone, seated in a row of 5 with the adult in the middle.

All passengers should be in good general health and free from heart, back, neck or other conditions which may be aggravated by this ride. This ride is not recommended for people with high blood pressure or who have had recent surgery. Pregnant women are advised not to use this ride due to the ride forces and presence of the restraint. Guests who experience vertigo or Meniere’s disease are advised not to ride. Passengers must be able to bend their legs at their hips and knees. Plaster casts/medical boots may be permitted at the discretion of the Operator.

Magnetic Fields:

Magnetic fields are present on this ride. Guests fitted with a pacemaker should seek medical advice.

 

Additional Information for Guests with Disabilities, Missing Limbs/Amputations or Neurodiversity

We respectfully request our guests with disabilities, amputations or neurodiversity, or those people caring for them, to consider the additional information below in deciding whether this ride will be suitable for themselves or those under their care.

Other Physical Safety Requirements:

All passengers must possess good upper body control and be able to sit upright and hold their head up unaided.

Passengers must be able to withstand sudden changes of direction and onset of G-forces. All passengers must be able to grip the restraint with at least one functioning hand to brace against the ride forces. A single below-elbow amputation is permitted.

Passengers must have both natural legs below the knee at least to the shin/ankle to allow the restraint to be effective. Passengers with an above-knee amputation are not permitted to ride as the restraint may be ineffective. All prosthetic limbs must be removed prior to boarding the ride vehicle due to the risk of ejection.

If Evacuation is Necessary:

In the unlikely event that evacuation is necessary, guests must be able to understand and be able to follow our instructions. Evacuation should not pose any additional issues as the ride will stop in the usual unloading position. However, it can take several minutes for the ride to come to a complete stop. Evacuations can be prolonged events to ensure the safety of everyone involved, and we kindly ask for everyone’s patience and understanding during this process.
