2016 Rider Safety & ADA Guide
Many amusement park rides incorporate safety systems designed by the manufacturer to accommodate
people of average physical stature and body proportion. These safety systems may place restrictions on the
ability of an individual to safely experience the ride. Extremely large or small individuals, Guests who have heart,
back or neck trouble, pregnant women, people who have had recent surgery, people with casts, braces,
restrictive devices or certain disabilities may not be safely accommodated by these systems. For example, height
requirements are based on the size needed for safety restraints to function properly and the level of maturity
usually associated with a certain height. Frontier City’s Ride Admission Policy has been developed in
consultation with industry professionals, 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 or other riders. Any Guest who feels they may be affected by this policy is
encouraged to visit Guest Relations to obtain a list of the rides they can safely ride.
WARNING
Many rides at Frontier City are dynamic and thrilling. There are inherent risks in riding any amusement
ride. For your protection, each ride is rated for its special features, such as high speeds, steep drops, sharp turns,
or other dynamic forces. If you choose to ride, you accept all of these risks. Restrictions for Guests of extreme
size (height or weight) are posted at certain rides. Guests with disabilities should refer to the Ride Accessibility
Policy section of this guide. You should be in good health to ride safely. You know your physical conditions and
limitations, Frontier City does not. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or you could
aggravate a pre-existing condition of any kind, DO NOT RIDE! All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars,
shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be positioned, fastened and tightened properly to allow Guests to ride.
Riders must obey all warnings and directions regarding amusement park rides and behave in a manner
that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. This includes people who are behaving in an
unruly fashion or giving the indication of being under the influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants. While all
amusement attractions have associated risks, certain individuals are at increased risk for injury from these
attractions. Carefully evaluate each attraction to determine if you or members of your party can safely
participate. We reserve the right to deny access to a ride to anyone we feel may not be able to safely experience
the ride or may be a hazard to other riders.
Before riding, note all safety warnings for each ride. In general:



Face forward and remain seated in an upright position with your back and shoulders against the seat
back and hold on until the ride comes to a complete stop.
Attention Riders: Due to the nature of our rides, backpacks, purses, electronics, stuffed animals and
other loose items are not permitted on most rides. Glasses must be secured. Smaller items may be
secured in cargo pockets, waist packs, left in a locker or with a non-rider. Frontier City is not responsible
for lost, stolen or damaged items.
No smoking while in line or riding.
Finish food and drink before boarding.
All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be
positioned, fastened and tightened at all times.
No picture taking while riding. (with the exception of the Ol’ 89er Express
Keep all parts of your body inside ride unit at all times.

Shirts & shorts are required on all rides.

Special Access Entrances
Frontier City’s Ride Admission Policy and Special Access Entrances are designed to help you safely
experience our facilities. Rides with Special Access designations will make boarding easier. The safety of Guests
and employees is our #1 Priority at Frontier City. Safety is a shared partnership between the park and our
Guests. 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 eligibility of a rider based on a person’s size, weight or
other limitations. However, not everyone can safely enjoy every ride with a Special Access Entrance. Please refer
to your individual Ride Admission Policy list for rides that will safely accommodate you. In an effort to be fair to
all of our Guests, Guests with Restricted Mobility and up to 3 riding companions may enter via our special access
entrance after any additional members of the party waits in line. This service is for a Guest with Restricted
Mobility and up to 3 riding companions. The following guidelines will be of assistance when using Special Access
Entrances.
1. Only 3 riding companions may enter through the Special Access Entrance with you. Other members of
your party are asked to enter the ride in the standard manner through the line. Most Special Access
Entrances are intended to accommodate wheelchairs and those Guests with Restricted Mobility and not
to bypass others waiting in line.
2. Until your party reaches the boarding platform, you may rest in a comfortable location or enjoy other
attractions in the area.
3. If you wish to ride together, once your party is ready to board, you may enter through the Special Access
Entrance. Those members of the party who waited in line should advise the ride hosts that you will be
joining them.
4. Frontier City personnel are not trained nor permitted to transfer Guests from a wheelchair to a ride unit.
You should plan your visit with someone who can physically help you when necessary.
5. Not all rides have a Special Access Entrance. If in doubt, please refer to individual ride listings for locations.
6. The Guests with Restricted Mobility must ride in order for his/her party to use the Special Access
Entrance. If the Guest with restricted mobility chooses not to ride, his/her party must wait in line.
Guests of Exceptional 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 exceptional 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.
Loose Articles: Travel Light
When planning your day at Frontier City, it’s best to travel light. 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. Most rides cannot accommodate loose articles including cell phones, pagers, hats, cameras,
stuffed animals, purses, backpacks, basketballs, umbrellas, beverage containers, personal
entertainment devices, etc. Items must be safely secured in cargo pockets, a waist pack, in a bin on the
ride platform, left in a locker, or with a non-rider. Ride Operators cannot be responsible for these
items. On most rides, glasses must be secured by an athletic strap or they cannot be worn on the ride.
For safety reasons, taking pictures, videotaping and filming on rides is prohibited.

2016 RIDER SAFETY & ADA GUIDE
Lost & Found Articles
Secure all loose articles such as glasses, cellular phones, pagers, loose change, cameras, keys,
clothing, sunglasses, hats, wallets, etc., before you board a ride. All items found at Frontier City are
turned in to our Lost and Found Department at our Guest Relations Office located near Quick Draw. In
order to keep the ride in operation, an immediate search may not be possible. Please visit Guest
Relations to complete paperwork to ensure the item is returned to you if it’s found. For your safety, do
not enter restricted areas. You may be seriously injured or killed if you enter a restricted area.
Camera Policy
For safety reasons, we cannot permit on-ride photography of any kind on any ride other than the Ol’
89er Express. Due to the potential for water damage, Renegade Rapids riders should leave their
cameras and other valuable items with a non‑rider or in a locker. Use of camera phones or any type of
photography or video recording devices is prohibited in all restrooms and changing areas.

Frontier City has dress codes designed to maintain the park's family atmosphere and to ensure guest safety.

1. On most rides, Guests in wheelchairs will have to transfer out of their wheelchairs and into the
ride vehicle.
2. A limited supply of wheelchairs are available to rent at Trappers Trading Post, located on Main
Street. However, since wheelchairs are rented on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be
reserved in advance, we urge Guests to bring their own wheelchair. Rented wheel chairs are
not allowed to be taken outside the park gates to the Guests car.
3. Our First Aid Station is staffed from park open to close. Refrigeration for medication is available
at First Aid, and most medical equipment can be stored.

special need/diet items due to a medical condition, may bring small amounts of these items
and store them in First Aid to accommodate such needs.
7. Service animals are welcome at Frontier City. Service animals must be physically controlled on a
leash or harness at all times. Due the nature of most rides, service animals must remain with a
non-riding member of the Guest’s party, with the exception of the Grand Carousel. Frontier City
personnel are not permitted to take control of service animals. Guests whose service animals
demonstrate aggressive actions toward our Guests or employees will be directed to remove the
animal from the park. Limit one service animal per Guest.
8. If you need further information or have a special need that is not addressed here, please

the proper riding position and the prosthetic device must not interfere with the restraint system of the
ride. If there is any concern of the prosthetic device becoming dislodged during the ride, Guests should

warning signs at each ride entrance. If you are in doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride or
would like more rider information, please visit the Guest Relations Office.
Ride Evacuations
Evacuations may be required due to such causes as a mechanical problem, weather conditions, or
power interruption. If an evacuation is required, Guests may need to maneuver across catwalks, from
the highest point of the ride, and down steeply inclined catwalks or steps. Ride units may also stop at
the top of lifts or on the ride course due to mechanical reasons.
If evacuation from a ride/attraction is required, for safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory
Guests prior to evacuating those Guests using wheelchairs. If so, you accept any danger due to delayed
