For your protection, each ride is rated for its special features, such as high speed, steep drops, sharp turns or other dynamic forces. If you choose to ride, you accept all of these risks.

For example, height requirements are based on the size needed for safety systems to function properly and the level of maturity usually associated with a certain height. Our Ride Admission Policy has been developed based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, our past experience, and our evaluation of each ride/ attraction 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 each ride without risk of injury to that person or other riders. Any guest who feels he/she may be affected by this policy is encouraged to visit the Guest Relations Office for more information.

2 Ride Rating System A Ride Rating Program has been designed which provides a scale for rating the thrill factor of each ride. The intent is to provide a scale to guide Park guests in determining which attractions to ride based on their own experience level, physical condition, and abilities. Each ride/attraction is placed into one of five categories: Worlds of Fun CATEGORY DESCRIPTION Low Thrill Rides Mild Thrill Rides Moderate Thrill Rides High Thrill Rides Aggressive Thrill Rides Oceans of Fun CATEGORY Low Thrill Rides Mild Thrill Rides Moderate Thrill Rides High Thrill Rides Aggressive Thrill Rides Rides that are generally calm and gentle in nature. Rides that generally have low speeds with gentle motion and braking. Rides have smooth transitions with some changes in elevation and speed.

Rides that generally have medium to high speeds and/or heights with moderate to rapid braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in speed, direction and/or elevation. Rides that generally have one or more of the following: high speeds and/or heights, aggressive and unexpected forces, and rapid directional or elevation change.

3 Alternate Access Entrances & Attraction Boarding Passes Our Ride Admission Policy and Alternate Access Entrances are designed to help you safely experience our facilities and provide equal access to all guests. The safety of guests and employees are our #1 priority at Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun. Safety is a shared partnership between the park and our guests. Not everyone can safely enjoy every ride. Guests are asked to review and carefully consider the ride restrictions using good judgment. However, we reserve the right to make the final decision regarding the eligibility of a rider based on a person s size, weight, willingness to ride, or other limitations. Please refer to your individual Rider Access Form for rides that will safely accommodate you. If you require the use of an Alternate Access Entrance, please visit Guest Relations to obtain a Rider Access Form, Boarding Pass, and Guest Assistance Guide. Alternate Access Entrances are intended to accommodate guests with mobility restrictions or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and not to bypass others waiting in line. This service is available for a guest with restricted mobility or ASD and up to three companions. To provide equal access for all guests, we have developed a Boarding Pass Program which allows guests with mobility restrictions or ASD to access rides at specified times via the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride s exit) in order to avoid crowds and waiting in the regular lines. Information on where guests access the ride is posted on each Ride s Safety Guide Sign. All guests, regardless of point of access, are required to meet all riding requirements for the ride, including height and medical restrictions in order to ride/participate. Here s How It Works The guest with a mobility impairment or ASD should visit Guest Relations upon his/her arrival at the park to express his/her inability to wait in the regular line. Some questions are asked to ensure that the rider has the required physical criteria in order to safely experience rides, and a Boarding Pass is issued for the guest in question and up to 3 riding companions. In addition to a Boarding Pass, the guest with a mobility impairment or ASD will receive a Rider Access Form that lists the rides that the guest with a disability can safely enjoy. The rider (or a member of their party) obtains a boarding time from the ride associate at the Alternate Access Entrance, equivalent to the length of the ride line. The rider can then wait comfortably away from the queue area. The guest listed on the Boarding Pass must be present as a rider when a Boarding Pass is being utilized. Guests may not accumulate more than one boarding time at a time. There are two options available for guests who are in possession of a Boarding Pass: RIDES WITH LINES Guests will obtain a boarding or ride time on the Boarding Pass that is equal to the anticipated wait time for a particular ride from the ride associate at the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride s exit). Guests can then choose to rest comfortably away from the queue area, visit a shop, see a show, or play a game until their boarding time. RIDES WITH NO LINES Guests may ride at any time via the Alternate Access Entrance (usually a ride s exit) and be seated on one of the next available cycles. 2

4 Access Symbols Symbols indicate boarding procedures for each ride and are defined below. This symbol is used to identify rides where the guest may remain in their wheelchair. These rides include Worlds of Fun Railroad and Le Carrousel. Rides using this symbol can accommodate guests who are able to transfer from the wheelchair to the ride unit by themselves or assisted by a member of their party. This symbol identifies rides where guests must be able to walk independently or be assisted by a member of their party. A wheelchair may be left in a designated position on or near the ride platform. Guests of Larger Size All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be positioned and fastened properly to allow guests to ride. Due to rider restraint system requirements, guests of larger size may not be accommodated on some of our rides. This may apply, but not be limited to, guests who exceed 6'2" or those who exceed 225 pounds, have a 40" waistline or 52" chest. Our larger guests may experience difficulty on Patriot, Prowler, Spinning Dragons, SteelHawk, Detonator, ThunderHawk and Cyclone Sam s. Maximum weight limits are posted in this guide and at all locations with restrictions. Guests may enter the ride via the exit to ensure that the restraints function properly prior to returning back to the regular queue line. A test seat is available at Patriot at the rides entrance. Ride Safely Safety First People who jeopardize another person s safety, do not obey regulations and rules, behave in an unruly fashion, or give the indication of being under the influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants will not be permitted to ride. Please read and observe all posted rules, regulations, instructions, and warnings prior to participation on the attractions. State of Missouri Rider Responsibility Law: RSMO Requires that riders must obey all warnings regarding this ride and behave in a manner that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor. Evacuations In case of an emergency such as weather conditions, mechanical problems, or power interruption, evacuations may be required. Guests may need to maneuver across catwalks at high points of a ride and may need to go down steeply inclined catwalks or stairs. At Oceans of Fun, guests may be asked to evacuate pools as quickly as possible using stairs or ladders. If evacuation from a ride/attraction is required, for safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory guests prior to evacuating guests that may require additional assistance. If so, you accept any danger due to delayed evacuation or if we need to physically lift or lower you. 3

5 Loose Articles For safety reasons large items such as strollers, large stuffed animals, basketballs, etc., are not permitted past the ride entrance. Other items such as umbrellas, crutches, large cameras, etc., may be taken past the ride entrance but will not be permitted on the ride. Eyewear and headwear must be secured. Headphones will not be worn on rides. Please store such items in lockers or leave them in your vehicle or with a non-rider. Ride operators will not be allowed to hold items belonging to guests. Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. If you lose an item on a ride, we will search for the article as soon as is practical. In order to keep the ride in operation an immediate search may not be possible. Entry into restricted areas is prohibited and could result in personal harm; violators will be prosecuted. All found items will be taken to Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun Guest Relations. Found items will be donated or destroyed after 14 days, if not claimed.

Recent Surgery, Heart, Back, Neck Problems and/or Pregnancy Guests with a history of recent surgery, heart trouble/high blood pressure, neck trouble, or any other condition that may be aggravated by riding, or who are pregnant, should carefully heed all warning signs at each ride entrance.

7 Definitions Every ride entrance lists height requirements and special instructions regarding the ride.

A supervising companion is someone who meets all the requirements to ride the ride themselves, is 16 years of age or older, and demonstrates appropriate observed behavior. The supervising companion must be seated in the same seat (row) as the guest who needs accompaniment and can accompany the number of riders for which the seat is designed For example, if a seat is designed for three people, the supervising companion can accompany two riders. Accompanied By Whenever a rider needs accompaniment, the accompanying person must meet all the ride requirements, as well as assist the rider. This includes helping the riders in the boarding and exiting of the ride, assisting the rider in maintaining postural control while riding, and assisting the rider down stairs, catwalks, or ladders in case of an evacuation. Functioning Extremity A functioning extremity is a limb over which a person has control. At most attractions a prosthetic device may be considered a functioning extremity.

Full-Arm and Full-Leg Casts Any cast that prevents the arm from bending at the elbow or the leg from bending at the knee is considered a full cast. 6 Criteria Worlds of Fun s Ride Admission Policy is designed to allow our guests to participate in the enjoyment of our park as much as possible.
