Requirements for All Passengers

Cognitive Requirements:

All passengers must be able to perceive the concepts of risk and danger, and understand that, for their own safety, they must remain seated 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:

There is no form of passenger restraint on this ride, but the jeep doors will be locked from outside. To ensure their own safety all passengers must be able to remain seated and hold on or brace with 1 functioning limb at all times.

Passenger Requirements:

There is no minimum height restriction for this ride. Babies in arms are permitted on this ride. Children under 4 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult. No more than 4 people per car (excluding babies in arms).  1 adult can accompany up to 3 children who do not meet the requirement to ride alone, seated in the same jeep.

All passengers should be in good general health and free from heart, back, neck or other conditions which may be aggravated by this ride. Passengers must be able to bend their legs at their hips and knees. Plaster casts/medical boots may be permitted – 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 evacuation is necessary, guests may have to walk up to approximately 250metres over level ground or wait an unpredictable length of time until the ride can be re-started, which may involve a substantial delay. 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.
