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 individual lap restraint. Passenger restraints must be closed beyond a set minimum position. If this cannot be achieved with any passenger, that passenger will be unable to ride.

Passenger Requirements:

All passengers must be at least 0.9m tall to ride. Passengers must be at least 7 years old to ride without a supervising adult.

1 adult can accompany 1 child who does not meet the requirement to ride alone, seated next to each other.

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 lap bar. 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. Leg plaster casts/medical boots are not permitted as they present a risk during evacuation.

Magnetic Fields:

Strong magnetic fields are present on this ride. It is therefore not recommended for any guest fitted with a pacemaker.

Lower limb prosthetics may be permitted if they are in contact with the car floor – please check with the Operator.

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.

If necessary, prosthetic limbs that have been removed at the ride station can be returned to the passenger for an evacuation. 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. In some cases, evacuation may take in excess of 1 hour.
