Park Rules & Policies

Safety is always #1 at the Park. Our goal is to accommodate all guests to enable them to fully enjoy our Park. 

Park Safety Standards – General Principles. Please understand that people may be excluded or removed from certain rides, attractions, areas of the park, and/or certain activities, in the interests of safety as determined by Park personnel.

This may include, but is not limited to, concerns with sight-disabled people who need adequate eyesight to safely engage in an activity, height and weight restrictions, mobility and/or use and the existence of all limbs in a stable and coordinated manner, a clear and alert mind which is unaffected by mental disability or other hindrance, being under the influence of any substances (whether legal or illegal, drugs or medications, alcohol, or any other chemicals and substances), signs of heat illness, any loose headwear or clothing or apparel which may damage property or pose a hazard to a guest or others, and whether or not a person may appear to be ill or injured or otherwise unable to safely participate.

For Your Safety:

• Pay Attention. Please watch where you are going. Amusement parks are crowded places with many distractions, elevations in surfaces, landscaping, tree roots, rocks, man-made structures, patron possessions left lying around the park or in pathways, etc; this is the open, obvious and inherent nature of an amusement or water park environment. As such, the park disclaims all liability, and shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever, for any trip, slip, and/or fall you and/or any minor(s) in your care may suffer, nor for any injuries caused from walking or stumbling into objects or structures, or falling over objects or structures. By entering the park, you automatically agree to this waiver of all such liability.
• No Running (it poses a collision, trip, slip, and fall hazard).
• Slippery Surfaces. Surfaces may be slippery or wet—especially in bathrooms, on and around any water attractions, and in cafes or food areas.
• Dress for Safety. No loose/oversized/baggy clothing or accessories that are not thoroughly secured to your person, or any carried items, on any ride or attraction which may pose a hazard. Prohibited items may include, without limitation (depending on the specific ride), any form of headwear, scarves, long belts, fringed materials, high heels, loose footwear, wigs, purses, backpacks, or any dangling fabric. If you choose to wear unstable, loose, or ill-fitting shoes to the Park (e.g., high heels, flip-flops, clogs, loose sandals or Crocs or slip-ons, etc.), realize that you are creating a hazard for yourself in a crowded park, and you may not be able to partake in certain attractions. We urge you to wear secure, comfortable footwear.
• No Monkeying Around. No climbing on or hanging from, any structures, trees, lamp posts, wiring, door frames, rain gutters, etc. We are an amusement park, not a jungle gym!
• Be Seated – Carefully. Benches and chairs are for sitting only—not jumping on or over, nor standing on. Multiple persons should never share the same single-person chair.
• No “Sitting on the Fence” … Literally. Fences, railings, and banisters should never be leaned on, sat upon, stood upon, twirled on, or jumped/vaulted over. Doing so causes damage to Park property and people may get injured.
• Stop! Parking is reserved for Safe Drivers. Parking lots are, by their very nature, hazardous places where you must act cautiously and pay attention at all times for yourself and those in your care (minors, elderly needing assistance, disabled persons, etc.). Please drive slowly and carefully at all times (including into and out of parking spaces, or when entering or exiting the lot), realizing that children may be running about, that the elderly or disabled may not hear or see your car, etc. The park shall not be liable for theft, break-ins, car collisions, or other property damage, and the park has zero liability for anything occurring on public roads.
• Hands-Free. Electronic devices, including photographic or recording equipment (e.g., phones of any kind, selfie sticks, camcorders or cameras of any kind, flashlights, radios, iPods, etc.), are not permitted on any ride. Phones, cameras, and other devices pose a serious safety hazard on rides. Depending on the ride, all such devices must (at the Park’s discretion) either be completely secure on one’s person or may not be allowed at all (even in your pocket). Electronic devices, and any hand-held object of any kind (lotion, keys, iPhones, etc.), are totally prohibited on water rides.
• Know Before You Go! Before getting on a ride, make sure to observe the ride in operation, and how people board and exit. If anything makes you uncomfortable about participating, please do not participate. If you do choose to participate, realize that you are assuming all risks of the ride or attraction in which you are participating.
• See all Safety, Hear all Safety, Speak all Safety. READ AND ABIDE BY ALL SAFETY SIGNAGE, ATTENDANT INSTRUCTIONS, AND RECORDED WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS. If you have questions, PLEASE ASK an attendant. If you see something unsafe, PLEASE TELL an attendant.

WARNING! Assess Your Capabilities BEFORE You “Just Do It”

Rides and other attractions at the Park can provide our guests with wonderful memories and exhilarating fun! But amusement and water rides also can be adrenaline-pumping activities that put substantial strain and forces on your body and senses, through rapid acceleration, speed, sudden movements, and the unpredictable motion of a ride, which may thrust your body about in different directions, causing muscular strain and stress on your body such as on your neck and back, and accelerated heart rate and blood pressure.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY RIDE, ACTIVITY, OR ATTRACTION, IF YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY ALCOHOL, DRUGS (WHETHER LEGAL MEDICATION OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES), OR OTHER SUBSTANCES WHICH MAY AFFECT YOUR HEALTH, SENSES, AND BODY REFLEXES AND COORDINATION.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY RIDE, ACTIVITY, OR ATTRACTION, IF YOU HAVE ANY HEALTH CONDITIONS OR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS OR INJURIES, OR IF YOU ARE TOO AFRAID TO PARTICIPATE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION HEART, NERVE, MUSCLE, BACK, NECK, BONE, JOINT, BRAIN, EYE, EAR, OR OTHER AILMENT OR INJURY, OR IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE HAD SURGERY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS OR IF YOU ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM ANY ILLNESS OR MEDICAL CONDITION, TREATMENT OR PROCEDURE. ONLY YOU CAN DETERMINE IF YOU FEEL GOOD ENOUGH TO SAFELY PARTICIPATE IN A RIDE OR ATTRACTION. THE PARK DOES NOT, AND CAN NOT, GUARANTEE YOUR HEALTH, AND YOU FULLY ASSUME ALL RISKS OF ANY PARK RIDE OR ACTIVITY IN WHICH YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE.

All of the following are strictly prohibited items that will (minimally) subject the guest to immediate ejection without refund, and which (where appropriate) may result in the Park contacting authorities for law enforcement action, and holding the guest at the Park to await the authorities. Park reserves the right at all times to conduct Bag Checks (and to utilize other security measures, such as metal detectors), and to refuse entry (without refund) to anyone refusing a thorough bag check or to comply with other security measures.

• Weaponry and Inherently Dangerous Objects/Substances. Weaponry of any kind is strictly prohibited at the park, including without limitation in parked cars, concealed on one’s person, or carried in bags, including without limitation: Firearms, knives and other cutting instruments, letter openers, scissors, box cutters, bats, billy clubs, blackjacks, collapsible canes, arrow tips, projectiles, crossbows and sling-shots of any size, mace, pepper spray, tasers, brass-knuckles, chains, canes carried as a weapon or which conceal a weapon, martial arts weaponry, anything which is intended to be used to bind or subdue people such as slip-ties or handcuffs, and tools (screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, chisels, pruning shears, multi-tool knives, etc.). Additional prohibited items include anything inherently dangerous to persons or property, which could be used as a weapon or which could foreseeably cause harm to persons or property, including without limitation, fireworks, explosives or detonation devices of any kind, ammunition, hazardous chemicals or other substances, including acids or other items which appear suspicious to Park personnel.
• Selfie-Sticks (including without limitation any other form of a photographic tripod, or hand-held camera extension device), are strictly prohibited in the Park. You will be blocked at the entrance if you have a selfie stick on your person, and you may be ejected without refund if you are found to have a selfie stick on Park grounds. Selfie sticks pose significant safety and security hazards.
• Hoverboards, skateboards, unicycles, stilts, pogo sticks, spring-loaded footwear, Segways, bicycles, and other mobility devices, roller skates, and other toys or mobility methods of convenience.  (If you need a wheelchair or scooter, we are of course happy to accommodate you; please see our Guests with Disabilities section herein).  Amusement parks are crowded places, and the only way to keep our common areas safe is to ensure that people do not have devices that create an unreasonable and heightened risk of injury to people.
• Spray paint, magic markers, glass objects or bottles, spiked clothing, and jewelry (which is large, sharply edged, or spiked, such that it poses a safety concern).
• Folding chairs, beach umbrellas, and tents.
• Radios/boom boxes, musical instruments.

Each guest at our Park has legal and moral obligations to act responsibly on all rides and attractions.

All amusement rides are physical activities that pose inherent risks. You must at all times act in a responsible manner to safeguard your health and safety and refrain from anything which poses a risk to others. Carefully read and obey all warning signs and instructions, attendant instructions, and recorded safety messages. Watch how rides are loaded and unloaded. To the extent possible, observe rides in action before going on. Watch where you are walking. Ask questions of attendants.

Be safe and have fun!

We care deeply about all our guests and want everyone to have happy memories that last a lifetime.  That is why safety must always come first above and beyond anyone’s desire to participate in a ride, attraction, activity, or area of the Park.  In addition, if the Park determines in its sole discretion that you are not able to safely participate in a ride or attraction, we may prevent you from doing so (without any refund or other compensation to you).

Remember – safety is a shared responsibility!  The Park can only do so much to keep you safe—it is up to you, as well. We can’t protect people from the consequences of their own reckless or irresponsible behavior. You must act responsibly for your health and safety, and for that of others.

Finally, if at any time you feel you need help due to an injury or medical concern, please immediately notify a park staff member and ask for help.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation!

The Park strives to make your experience a happy one, in all respects. Unfortunately, there is no way that we can erase the wicked intent of some people. Therefore, please understand that the Park cannot, and does not, guarantee your security or that of your personal property (even if placed in a locker), and in no event will the Park be held liable for your lost, stolen, or damaged possessions. If you need to store your possessions, ask the Park about lockers. If you have loose items while wanting to go on a ride, please have a friend or family member hold them or put such possessions in a locker.

It is the unfortunate truth that at any amusement park, or any place in society, no amount of security can prevent people from acting criminally if they are intent on so acting. The Park can only try to reasonably watch over the premises and the people therein and respond professionally to any security threat or incident.

If you experience a security issue, please notify the Park staff; we are here to assist you.

Welcome! Our goal is to accommodate our guests with disabilities to the fullest extent possible and in compliance with the law. Most of our attractions and restaurants are accessible to guests with disabilities, including, among others, those using wheelchairs.

If you (or someone you are responsible for) have a particular disability or special need, we encourage you to contact the Park and speak with a guest service associate at least 48 hours in advance of your visit to better assist us in preparing for your visit. If you have a group of disabled persons, a week’s advance notice would greatly help us to better serve you.

Note that the Park does NOT provide medicine, insulin, Epi-pens or oxygen tanks, or other medical treatments or devices, other than basic first aid; please plan your visit accordingly.

While the Park complies with federal and state disability and accommodation laws, there may be some rides or attractions, activities, or areas of the Park, which may not be safely accessible to all persons. At the Park, safety is the only consideration that takes precedence over fun! Thrill rides, by their nature, create forces and speeds that may not be acceptable or tolerable to some guests and may cause injury to some riders with known or unknown pre-existing conditions. For your protection, many of the rides and other attractions at the Park incorporate safety systems that are designed to accommodate people with certain characteristics, such as average physical stature and body proportion. These safety systems may place restrictions on the ability of certain individuals to safely experience an attraction.

In general, you should only engage in activities or rides, or participate in certain attractions, if you are in good health and believe that you can safely do so, and only then if you are not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, or other substances which may impair your judgment or ability to safely enjoy a ride or activity.  Do not ride if you know or suspect that you may be pregnant, have high blood pressure or other heart condition, neck, back/spine or body problems, motion sickness or balance issues, have recent surgery, neurological or vision disorders, conditions affecting coordination and muscle control, seizures or fainting spells, or any other medical condition that may affect your ability to fully enjoy the activity or ride in a safe and controlled manner   You should not ride if you have any impairment or condition that would prevent the intended use of seating and safety restraints as provided, or an inability to follow any safety requirement.

Prosthetics, Medical Devices & Ride Safety – Not Permitted.  For your safety and the safety of others, riders with medical devices will be prohibited from certain rides (e.g., a cast, or a back brace).  Please keep in mind that most amusement or water rides generate forces upon the body, and are therefore or not suitable for people with existing injuries.  In other instances, riders may be required to remove medical devices, including half or full-length orthotics, braces, crutches, canes, prosthetics, and any other type of medical assistance device that is not permanently affixed to the rider’s body. 

These rules are necessary to prevent serious hazards associated with medical devices or prosthetics coming loose—which can result in severe injuries to the rider or other persons. These devices may also cause damage to a ride. These devices may also prevent safety restraints from working as designed, may present hazards with a rider getting in or out of a ride, and interfere with the rider’s ability to maintain a securely safe and proper riding position. We cannot rely on assurances that “my prosthetic won’t come off"—there is no means for the Park to verify the reality of that assurance on a case-by-case basis, or to ensure that a prosthetic is so securely attached that it won’t detach during a particular ride experience. 

Please speak to a Park manager with any questions or for further clarification on a ride-by-ride basis. If permitted on a ride without the prosthetic device, we ask that you have a friend or family member take possession of the device while you enjoy a ride; if that is not possible, we will try our best to assist you by retaining the device until you have enjoyed your ride (notwithstanding, please understand that we are not a “bailee” and we cannot assume responsibility for any devices, nor shall we incur liability for theft, loss or damage). 

In addition, please understand that there are some rides where the existence of all limbs may be necessary for you to be safely restrained. In such situations, for everyone’s safety, we regret that we cannot allow any such person to go on those rides.

Personal. Guests are welcome to take pictures of themselves, their friends and family, their group, and the scenery in general, for their personal use. 

However, no one is permitted to take photographs of others who object, who violate another’s privacy, or rights to publicity, or who are harassing, stalking, or threatening. Image taking or recording is strictly prohibited, under all circumstances, in bathrooms, changing rooms, and locker areas; violators may be held for law enforcement, and are subject to arrest and prosecution.

The Park May Take and Use Images & Videos of All Guests. The Park at all times reserves the right to videotape patrons, take still images, and utilize those images and videos for any reason, including marketing, advertising, promotion, on social media, live streaming on the Internet, for safety and security, for documentation as evidence in a legal or criminal matter or other investigation, for news reporting, and otherwise in an unrestricted manner for legitimate purposes. All property ownership of such materials, and copyright in and to all such materials, shall belong exclusively to Park in perpetuity, without any compensation or other consideration to any guest or other person in, on, or around the Park property.

Commercial. Commercial photography of any kind is strictly prohibited (including without limitation, still or moving images, modeling shots, student films, comedy routines, documentaries, commercials, TV news, major motion picture films, Internet soap operas, reality TV, actor demo reels, submission videos for reality TV, footage as part of a school project, documentation of stunts and dangerous activities (whether for commercial use or not), promotional videos, music videos, cable programs, etc.), except where prior, written permission has been obtained from the Park’s owner in the form of a contract signed by an executive within Park’s corporate office.

In any event, where unauthorized video or images has been uploaded to any social media channel, the Park shall have the unrestricted and exclusive right and authority to have such materials removed. Any materials which defame the Park may result in legal action for damages, and the Park shall have absolute right and authority to obtain both temporary and permanent injunctions from the further use or dissemination of such material, in all channels and all mediums of communications, throughout the world, whether now known or hereafter devised, and to obtain all materials and obtain an order for the destruction of all such materials.

Weather is unpredictable, and can pose certain health and safety hazards. For example, if you are sensitive to heat, you should consider not visiting the Park on a hot day, staying hydrated, and/or limiting your time outside. Or, if you have poor mobility or stability, it might be better for you not to come on a wet day when things might be more slippery. Only you can make informed decisions about weather forecasts and whether or not any given day would be appropriate for a Park visit.

Guidelines:

• Wet weather (including mist, humidity, rainstorms, flooding, etc.) makes surfaces slippery. On wet days, please exercise extra caution when moving about the Park, going up or down stairs (holding handrails), entering or exiting rides, using bathrooms, etc. Do not step directly into streaming or puddled water, since it may carry mud or other debris, posing a slip hazard.
• Storms (wind, rain, lighting, hail, etc.) tend to result in people scrambling for shelter, including in buildings, or racing to get back to their car. People running in stormy weather pose slip/trip/fall hazards for themselves and others. People may be darting through parking lots, or around corners. Please proceed in an orderly and controlled fashion when seeking shelter from weather situations.
• In certain severe weather situations, the Park may shut down rides, and direct people to certain areas or direct people to leave the Park altogether. Please make sure to obey all Park instructions, if any are given.
• Hot weather poses a risk of sunburn and heat illness. People may not realize how much they are being impacted by hot weather until they develop heat illness.

Some guidelines for heat:

• Always stay hydrated with water. Alcohol, overeating, and/or eating/drinking large amounts of sugar, are not advised.
• Use sunscreen on all exposed areas of your body. Reapply frequently. If you have been in the sun for prolonged periods, or if it is especially hot and/or humid, take breaks as needed from your activities, and relax in a shaded or indoor area to allow your body to cool off. Drink water to hydrate.
• Heat Exhaustion: Look for the warning signs of heat exhaustion, which include fatigue, nausea, headaches, weakness, slowed or weakened heartbeat, clammy skin and drenching sweat (often while feeling cool or cold), fainting or dizziness, excessive thirst, confusion or anxiety. Although heat exhaustion is generally not fatal, it can be—so you must take this issue seriously and take remedial measures by getting to a cool place and sipping water. Park staff should be alerted to any heat illness issue you or a person in your group may be suffering from; we are here to assist you.
• Warning - Heat Stroke: Heat stroke can be fatal! It is an advanced form of heat-related illness, which can occur suddenly, particularly in extremely hot weather. If you or someone in your group experiences symptoms of heat stroke, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION by alerting our staff and/or calling 9-1-1. Symptoms include mental confusion/delirium, loss of consciousness, very rapid or dramatically slowed heartbeat, rapid rise in body temperature, drenching sweats that turn into a marked decrease in sweating accompanied by hot/flushed skin, shortness of breath, blood in urine, and/or convulsions.

NO RAINCHECK TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED IF THE PARK CLOSES FOR THE DAY DUE TO WEATHER DURING THE LAST 60 MINUTES OF THE PARK OPERATING DAY.

Use of drones (in, over, or around the Park), whether for photographic purposes or otherwise, is strictly prohibited (unless the user has been granted written, contractual permission for that specific instance from an officer of the Park or its parent entity). Violations may subject the user to immediate ejection, confiscation of the drone, and referral of the matter to authorities. Drones are a serious safety hazard to ride operations, Park operations (including electrical facilities), and to the Park’s guests and personnel. Use of drones in, over, or around the Park, also constitutes an illegal trespass, an invasion of the Park’s privacy, and interference with our operations.

Animals of any kind (e.g., dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards, snakes, pigs, hamsters, turtles, birds, tarantulas, rats, mice, monkeys, ferrets, mini-horses, etc.) are not allowed in the park, except for legally-defined service dogs or as may otherwise be required by law to assist those with disabilities (“disabilities” being defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act or other applicable laws). If you claim to have a legally-qualifying “service dog” you will be required to verify its legitimacy, under applicable legal requirements which are then in effect. A “service animal” is defined by law, and not by a person’s desires. For example, a “companion” animal, an animal that brings “emotional comfort,” or a dog that serves as “personal security,” does not qualify as a legal “service animal.”

Even if a “service animal” is verified, and allowed to enter the park, please be aware that you are still responsible for controlling it at all times. A service animal is also prohibited from all rides because rides are built for people, and because animals cannot be safely contained or restrained on amusement rides, they would thereby pose a serious safety hazard. Animals are also prohibited from going into or on any water ride or attractions, because of hygiene concerns, in addition to safety concerns.

Please understand that we may require the removal of your service animal from park property if it poses a threat to persons or property, including without limitation, if it is unruly, threatening, aggressive (barking, snarling, biting at patrons, etc.), and/or if you are unable to control your animal at all times.

You must make sure that your service animal has gone to the bathroom before coming to the Park. Once at the Park, if your animal needs to “go,” please do your best to steer the animal to an area off to the side on a grassy area, away from other patrons, if possible. We encourage you to ask a staff member to where your animal might be directed.

It is prohibited to leave animals in a car while patrons enjoy the Park; in such event, animal control (or other government authority) may be called, and your car forcibly entered into, to attend to the health or safety needs of an animal. You will have to pay all such costs involved in the rescue of any pet left in a car and may face animal cruelty charges from local authorities.

Guests are allowed to bring in snack-sized items and water in a soft-sided cooler. The maximum allowable soft-sided cooler is 12" x 12" x 12". Sealed water bottles and/or an empty water bottle to refill at one of our refill stations are permitted. 

Hard-sided coolers of all shapes and sizes are not allowed inside the park. You may leave your cooler in your car and exit the park at any time to eat. Return your cooler to your car and come back in for more FUN!

For more specific information, please contact us at: guestservices@emeraldpointe.com

Children under 13 years of age may NOT be at the Park without adult supervision. Regardless, we strongly recommend that minors (under 18) be accompanied by an adult.

The Park does not assume any responsibility or liability for unattended minors; children and the behavior of all minors are the sole responsibility of their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parents/guardians may be held legally liable for all acts of the children under their care. Please make sure that minors act responsibly, and in consideration of others, at all times. For example, no running; no twirling on banisters; no climbing on structures, or sitting on fences; no “horseplay” (e.g., wrestling, gymnastics, playing “tag,” throwing rocks or other items at each other, etc.) especially on rides, ride lines, in food areas or around other guests.

Please remember that the Park is NOT a daycare facility. Anyone choosing to leave their minors at an amusement park is still responsible for them—in no event does the Park assume that responsibility. Minors in violation of Park rules may be ejected or detained, at the Park’s discretion, as evaluated on a case-by-case basis. While the Park may in good faith attempt to contact a minor’s parent/guardian to have them picked up, this is done out of concern and courtesy, but in no event will the Park be held responsible if a minor leaves the Park, or for anything occurring after a minor has left the Park grounds.

We greatly appreciate your help in responsibly monitoring and controlling any minors in your care.

If you cannot locate your child in the Park, our Park staff is here to assist you. Please feel free to alert a staff member who will be happy to assist you in locating your child. We recommend that as you enter the park, you decide on a meeting place should you be separated from any minors under your care.

The Park welcomes all breastfeeding mothers and their children and (by applicable law) does not discriminate against breastfeeding mothers. Park staff may approach a breastfeeding mother to offer a more shaded or private area to breastfeed, but we only do so in a sincere attempt to provide a breastfeeding mother with more comfort or privacy if she so desires it; we will never demand that a breastfeeding mother must relocate, nor do we discourage a mother from breastfeeding wherever she has a right to be.

All guests must behave in a family-friendly, respectful, and courteous manner, and in a manner that is safe for themselves and others. Violations may result in ejection from certain rides, attractions, areas of the Park, or from the Park itself, without refund or other compensation. They may also result in the Park contacting appropriate law enforcement authorities. The following is strictly prohibited, subjecting the violator to ejection without refund:

• Fighting. The Park does not tolerate aggressive or threatening behavior. This includes fights (physical or verbal), challenges to fight or any threat thereof (whether to an intended victim or comments, in general, expressing a desire or intent to hurt another person), or any form of physical assault upon or intimidation of another person. You may also be ejected for any pushing, roughness, “chest bumping,” aggressive moves (e.g., clenching fists, getting face-to-face with another, getting into a fighting stance, etc.), or other physically aggressive conduct.
• Offensive Conduct. We run a family-friendly Park, where people should be civil and courteous of one another. Prohibited conduct includes profanity, cursing, making offensive comments or gestures, pushing, spitting, flashing of body parts, and other offensive conduct.
• Sexual Activity or Misconduct. Sexual activity, and displays of sexuality, are inappropriate for a family-friendly amusement Park. Guests may be asked to cease such activity and warned about the possibility of an ejection, or they may be ejected without refund (at the Park’s discretion, depending on all factors). In the more offensive and graphic instances, the offending persons may be held for law enforcement. In any event of reported sexual misconduct, the Park may eject offending persons or hold them for law enforcement depending on all of the facts and circumstances of the alleged misconduct. In such instances, the alleged victims (or their parent/guardian, if they are minors) will be consulted on whether or not they want law enforcement involved. However, regardless of a parent/guardian’s wishes, the Park may nonetheless contact appropriate law enforcement authorities if the Park deems it advisable or is required to do so by law. If minors claim to have been victims of sexual misconduct and appear to be without a parent/guardian at the Park, then the Park will seek to contact the parents by phone, but will likely contact the appropriate law enforcement authorities and will also adhere to any mandatory-reporting laws, if any apply.
• Unruly Behavior. “Horseplay” in any amusement or water Park setting can be dangerous to you and those around you. Accordingly, all manner of “horseplay” is prohibited, including without limitation, jumping over any objects (benches, fences), diving or jumping into water structures, climbing on trees or structures (buildings, lamp posts, etc.), standing on tables or chairs, climbing up or jumping over barricades and fences, wrestling, playing tag or chasing each other, throwing items (shoes, food, rocks, sticks, rafts or inner tubes, etc.), jumping down stairs, twirling around banisters, gymnastics-like activities (kart wheels, flips, splits, handstands, etc.), or any sports-like activity (throwing a football or Frisbee across crowds, kicking a soccer ball around the Park, etc.). Please walk through the Park (no running), stay on the walkways, and always watch where you are going. Refrain from entering any landscaped areas—landscaped and planted areas such as flower beds are not meant for guests to tread upon! Exercise caution when going up or down stairs, or when traversing any areas with tree roots.
• Courtesy for the Disabled.  Please respect people with disabilities, the elderly, and the infirm, and any areas (seating, parking spaces, etc.)  which may be reserved for them.  Please be patient if you are waiting in line, while we seek to accommodate a guest with special needs.  Courtesy and kindness are appreciated and make life nicer for everyone!
• Line-Cutting/Line-Saving. Guests may not save places in line for themselves or others; let friends, family, or others later join them in line or take their place in line; push past or bypass others, or leave and return to “their space”.  If you or anyone in your group leaves a line--for whatever reason (including the need to use a restroom), then upon that person’s return, that person must go to the back of the line.  No exceptions. Please understand that to prevent chaos, confrontations, and unhappy guests, we must enforce these strict rules.
• Drugs.  Illicit drugs are strictly prohibited.  Authorities may be called for anyone in possession of, using, selling, or distributing, any illicit substances.
• Property Damage and Theft. Any damage to or destruction of Park property (or the property of another), or theft of any property, will not be tolerated. Offenders will be may be held by appropriate law enforcement authorities and will be ejected from the Park.
• Diving or Entry into any Decorative Water Feature. Decorative water features may include ponds, streams, and fountains, which may be natural or man-made. Entry of any kind into such a decorative water feature is prohibited. Diving, “flops,” flips," or “cannon balls” are prohibited at all times.
• Entry into Employee-Only and other Non-Guest Areas. Many non-guest areas can pose deadly hazards—do NOT enter these areas! Guests are strictly prohibited from entering any area with obvious signage such as, “EMPLOYEE ONLY,” “NO ACCESS,” “KEEP OUT,” or “DO NOT ENTER.” However, it is also common sense that guests should refrain from entering any maintenance areas, workshops, offices, tool sheds, electrical rooms, ride motor rooms, etc., whether or not such areas are marked with signage. Offenders are subject to immediate ejection from the Park, and where appropriate, such persons may be held by appropriate law enforcement authorities. Parents who allow their minors to engage in such activity will be ejected.
• Creating Hazards.  Please DO NOT LEAVE SHOES, TOWELS, BAGS, OR OTHER ITEMS ON PATHWAYS AND STAIRS—SUCH ITEMS MAY POSE A TRIP HAZARD. Please be considerate of others.
• Violations of the foregoing may (at the park’s discretion) subject guests to ejection without refund, or (in the case of criminal acts), being held by Park staff or security until law enforcement arrives and assumes control of a matter.

The Park does not allow any non-amusement park activities by guests, including without limitation, political activities, fundraising, organized or group religious practices or rituals, demonstrations, exercise classes, athletic team practices, unauthorized commercial activities, or protests, anywhere on-site, anywhere outside the Park’s perimeter where such activities may interfere with Park operations, guest attendance or enjoyment, or traffic flow into/out of/around the Park, or which would compromise safety and security. At a minimum, any protests/demonstrations must be outside of the Park’s property and at least 500 feet away from all Park entrances/exits. Anyone violating this rule on or within Park property will be subject to immediate removal from Park premises.

In keeping with a family-friendly environment, the Park prohibits clothing that would tend to be offensive and/or too revealing of one’s body. This includes the following rules, which may also be supplemented on a case-by-case basis as determined by the Park, in its good faith discretion, and without further notice:

• Amusement Park Attire – Shoes and appropriate clothing are required at all times. (e.g., shirts must fully cover the belly, all “private” body areas must be appropriately covered, and the Park does not allow sagging clothing that may reveal undergarments).
• Water Park Attire – Appropriate swimwear is required for water rides or water-play structures. Swimwear that is too provocative or revealing, including without limitation, transparent or mesh-style material, is prohibited.
• For safety reasons and to prevent property damage of rides and attractions, the Park prohibits cut-off jeans, denim shorts, clothing/swimwear with metal rivets or spikes, metal fasteners or buckles, or belts. Shoes of any kind are not allowed on any water slide or tube rides.
• The Park prohibits any jewelry that may pose a hazard to the rider, other guests, the rides themselves, or other property. Prohibited items may include bulky, protruding, or dangling jewelry (e.g., large hoop earrings which could snag on something, long necklaces which can pose a strangulation hazard, bulky rings, and any piercings that could snag or catch on equipment).
• Masks, horror, or Halloween-style attire is not permitted. We do not permit clothing that depicts violence.
• Appropriate “public” clothing. No pajamas, bath robes, lingerie, indoor slippers, costumes of any kind, etc.
• No vulgar or offensive tattoos, statements, or artwork on clothing. This includes curse words, depictions of sexual acts or nudity, depictions or messages of violence, and racially or religiously divisive/hateful material.

If the park closes for inclement weather, we will issue a full-day or a Twilight (valid 3 hours before closing) rain check, for any paid ticket, depending on the time of the closing. Rain Checks are not issued if the park closes 60 minutes before the scheduled closing time. Weather is very unpredictable but in general, we only close the attractions for lightning or thunder. We reserve the right to close for any severe weather situation, or condition, which might interfere with our guest's safety or enjoyment of the park. You must be in the park at the time of the closing to receive a rain check. Each guest must have a paid ticket stub to receive a rain check.
