WARNING
Many rides at Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun 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 speed, 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 our Ride Admission Policy available at Guest Relations. Participate responsibly. You should be in good health to ride safely. You know your physical conditions and limitations, Worlds of Fun & Oceans of Fun do not. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or you could aggravate a preexisting condition of any kind, DO NOT RIDE!
Special Services for Guests with Disabilities
Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun work hard to be as enjoyable and barrier free as practical. We offer several services to accommodate as many guests as possible. If the information you seek is not provided below, please CONTACT US via our online comment form.
ATTENTION
We have modified our policies, practices and procedures to provide accommodations for guests with mobility restrictions. The guest with a mobility restriction and one riding companion may enter the ride after the remainder of the party waits in line.
SPECIAL ACCESS: Worlds of Fun’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. If you require use of a Special Access Entrance to enter a ride, please visit the Guest Relations Office at the Main Entrance to the park to obtain a Ride Admissions List and Rider Safety Guide. 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 our guests, guests with restricted mobility and one riding companion may enter via our special access entrance after their party waits in line. If the guest does not have a riding companion, or in the case of unusually busy days, boarding time passes may be used. Guests may rest in a comfortable spot or enjoy other areas of the park until their boarding time and then enter the ride via the Special Access Entrance. This service is for a Guest with a Disability and one riding companion. The following guidelines will be of assistance when using Special Access Entrances:
- Only one riding companion 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. Special Access Entrances are intended to accommodate wheelchairs and those guests with mobility restrictions and not to bypass others waiting in line.
- 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 Attendant that you will be joining them.
- You may rest in a comfortable location or enjoy other attractions in the area while waiting for your boarding time.
- Ride Attendants will tell you how to board each ride. Worlds of Fun personnel are not trained nor permitted to transfer guests from a wheelchair to ride unit. You should plan your visit with someone who can physically help you when necessary.
