2012 Guest Assistance Guide - Kings Dominion

WARNING 

Many rides at Kings Dominion 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 our Ride Admission 

Policy available at Guest Services. Participate 

responsibly. You should be in good health to 

ride safely. You know your physical conditions 

and limitations, Kings Dominion does 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! 

All passenger restraint systems, including 

lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, 

must be positioned, fastened and tightened 

properly to allow guests to ride. 

Information in this guide is subject to change.

guest assistance guide 

Welcome to Kings Dominion! 

We are glad you are here. We have plenty of exciting 

rides and shows for everyone. We are committed to 

providing our guests with a safe environment and we 

want our guests to have a safe and enjoyable day. 

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, or people with casts, braces, 

restrictive devices or disabilities may not be safely 

accommodated by these systems. For example, 

height requirements are based on the size needed for 

the safety restraints to function properly and the level 

of maturity usually associated with a certain height. 

Kings Dominion’s Ride Admission Policy has been 

developed 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. 

This Guest Assistance Guide provides 

information on the recommendations and 

restrictions for each ride. Any guest who 

feels he may be affected by this policy is 

encouraged to visit Guest Services to speak 

with a representative to help determine what 

rides he can safely ride. 

Please Ride Safely 

As a rider, you are responsible for your own safety. Please read this brochure and all instructional signage 

before riding. Listen to and follow all operator instructions. Any person who intentionally removes a safety 

restraint, violates a park safety policy, or appears to be under the influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants 

will be removed from the park without refund. 

Before riding, please note all safety warnings for each ride. In general: 

• Face forward and remain seated in an upright position 

and hold on until the ride comes to a complete stop. 

• All passenger restraint systems, including lap 

bars, shoulder harnesses, and seatbelts, must be 

positioned, fastened, and tightened at all times. 

• Secure loose items (glasses, hats, wallets, keys, etc.) 

or leave them with a non-rider. 

• No picture taking or video recording while riding. 

• You are responsible for your personal property. 

1 

• Please keep all parts of your body inside the ride unit 

at all times. 

• Shirt, shoes, and shorts/pants are required on all 

amusement park rides. 

• Please finish food and drink before boarding the ride. 

• Smoking is only permitted in the designated 

smoking areas. 

• Supervise children at all times. 

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: 

Category DesCription 

Low thrill rides Rides that are generally calm and gentle in nature. 

Mild thrill rides 

Moderate thrill rides 

High thrill rides 

aggressive thrill rides 

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 low to medium speeds and/or heights with moderate motion 

and braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in direction and/or speed during 

portions of the ride. 

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. Riders will 

encounter many unexpected rapid changes in speed, direction and/or elevation.

Before You Ride 

Virginia State Law requires all riders to obey all 

warnings and directions and behave in a manner 

that will not cause or contribute to injuring 

themselves or others. Riders shall report all injuries 

before leaving. 

In general, all riders should be in good health and 

free from any conditions known or unknown that 

might be aggravated by riding. If you have any 

doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride, 

we urge you to consult with our staff at Guest 

Services or First Aid. Remember, 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. 

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. 

Generally, guests must have the ability to brace 

themselves upright in the seat and support their 

head and neck during the ride movements. 

Alternate Access Entrances 

The Ride Admission Policy and Alternate 

Access Entrances are designed to help you 

safely experience our facilities. However, not 

everyone can safely enjoy every ride. Please 

refer to the Guest Assistance Guide and all ride 

recommendations and requirements to help 

determine which rides will safely accommodate 

you. If you suspect your health could be at risk, or 

you could aggravate a pre-existing condition of any 

kind, DO NOT RIDE. 

Guests with disabilities should stop by Guest 

Services to pick up a Guest Assistance Guide. 

The Guest Assistance Guide explains the ride 

entry guidelines and procedures, provides specific

rest in a comfortable spot until their party reaches 

the ride station and then enter the ride via the 

Alternate Access Entrance. 

The following guidelines will be of assistance 

when using Alternate Access Entrances: 

• Only one riding companion may enter through 

the Alternate Access Entrance with you. Other 

members of your party are asked to enter the 

ride in the standard manner through the line. 

Alternate Access Entrances are intended to 

accommodate wheelchairs and those guests 

with mobility restrictions, and not to bypass 

others waiting in line. 

• Once your party is ready to board, you may 

enter through the Alternate Access Entrance. 

Those members of the party who waited in line 

should advise the ride hosts that you will be 

joining them. 

• Kings Dominion personnel are not trained or 

permitted to transfer guests from wheelchair 

to ride unit. You should plan your visit with 

someone who can physically help you 

when necessary.

fit inside the ride unit or where it will present a 

hazard to the guest or others. Guests with full 

arm (elbow restricted) and full leg (knee restricted)

riding positioning. Additionally, prosthetic devices 

with exposed metal parts are not permitted on 

most WaterWorks attractions. Guests should visit 

Guest Services or First Aid prior to riding to ensure 

a safe riding experience.

that may be aggravated by riding, or who are 

pregnant, should carefully heed all warning signs 

at each ride entrance. 

Evacuations 

Evacuations may be required due to such causes 

as a mechanical problem, weather conditions, or 

a 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 reason.

for safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory 

guests prior to evacuating those guests using 

wheelchairs. If so, you accept any danger due to 

delayed evacuation or if we need to physically lift

Criteria 

Kings Dominion’s Ride Admission Policy is 

designed to allow our guests to participate in the 

enjoyment of our park as much as possible. The 

policy was developed by analyzing the Neutral 

Criteria required to safely ride each particular 

ride. Each ride was evaluated for the criteria 

necessary for an individual to ride safely. It is our 

policy to allow anyone to ride who meets all these 

requirements and is not a hazard to himself or 

others. We continue to evaluate and update our 

Ride Admission Policy as necessary. 

The evaluation of each ride considered the following 

eleven (11) criteria which may be required to ride a 

particular ride safely. 

1. Ability to exhibit independent seated 

postural control under the dynamic 

conditions of the ride. 

Explanation: The guest must have the body 

and spinal control to sit upright without the 

aid of other people or devices and be able to 

maintain the proper riding posture even during 

bumping or other characteristic movements 

of the ride. Certain ride units such as carrousel 

horses require the ability to form a saddle 

posture with the guest’s thighs. 

2. Appropriate center of gravity. 

Explanation: The guest’s body must have the 

appropriate weight distribution for that ride.

upper torso during the course of the ride, 

including the dynamic motion of the ride 

(fast accelerations, quick decelerations, 

steep inclines, etc.). 

4. Ability to hold on with one functioning arm. 

Explanation: A functioning arm is an upper 

extremity or prosthesis exhibiting good grip 

control, the ability to brace, and enough 

strength to allow the guest to maintain the 

proper riding position throughout the duration 

of the ride. 

5. Ability to hold on with two functioning arms. 

Explanation: Ability to hold on with two 

functioning arms as defined above. 

6. Ability to brace self with one functioning leg. 

Explanation: Guests must have one 

functioning leg to be used for bracing 

the body during the course of the ride. 

A functioning leg may be a normal leg or a 

prosthesis which can be used for bracing. 

7. Ability to brace self with two functioning legs. 

Explanation: Guests must have two functioning 

legs to be used for bracing the body during the 

course of the ride and maintaining balance when 

entering and exiting a ride unit. A functioning leg 

may be a normal leg or a prosthesis (see page 5 

for Prosthetic Devices) which can be used 

for bracing. 

8. Minimum of two functioning extremities. 

Explanation: Guests must have a minimum 

of two functioning extremities (two legs, 

two arms, or one arm and one leg) to brace 

themselves during the ride and assist in 

entering and exiting the ride unit. 

9. Minimum of three functioning extremities.

of three functioning extremities (two legs 

and an arm or two arms and one leg) to 

brace themselves (with tripod bracing) during

10. Ability to enter/exit the attraction within 

specified parameters without endangering 

self or others. 

Explanation: Guests must be able to 

enter and exit the ride without jeopardizing 

themselves or others and to assist with 

their own evacuation, if necessary. This may 

include special arrangements such as entering 

through the exit or having someone aid you in 

boarding. For the safety of our team members 

and guests, ride operators are instructed not 

to perform any lifting of guests, other than in 

the children’s area. 

11. Appropriate Observed Behavior: 

Explanation: Guest demonstrates appropriate 

observed behavior indicating a willingness 

and ability to participate and/or follow rider 

requirements. Appropriate observed behavior 

may include, but not be limited to maintaining 

proper riding position, attention and 

compliance to safety instructions, proper use 

of all ride safety equipment and willingness 

to participate. 

In addition to the basic Neutral Criteria defined 

above, each ride was evaluated relative to specific 

temporary conditions which may prevent a 

guest from safely riding a particular ride. Specific 

conditions evaluated were: 

• Cervical collar or neck brace 

• Broken collar bone 

• Full arm cast 

• Braced arm cast 

• Full leg cast 

• Bilateral abduction leg casts 

(brace between legs)

and 65 million years ago in Dinosaurs Alive! 

Kings Dominion’s unique new six-acre animatronic 

dinosaur park. The multi-sensory and interactive 

dinosaur park brings inspiration, science and 

technology together at Kings Dominion where 

guests also hear the sounds and see the 

movements of 36 full-sized creations made to 

replicate nearly every feature of the dinosaurs. 

Each of the animatronic dinosaurs is hand-carved 

and covered with a skin-like material. 

Several dinosaurs have interactive consoles which 

allow guests to guide dinosaur movement so 

they can see how scientists believe each dinosaur 

moved its arms, tail, mouth and eyes. There is also 

an excavation site replica, a kids’ paleontological 

dig site where visitors can uncover prehistoric 

fossils, and a dinosaur-themed gift shop. 

The Dinosaur Alive! entrance and exit is located 

behind the Dino Store and next to the Grizzly 

rollercoaster entrance. The entire trail is wheelchair 

accessible. At the excavation site, guests must 

be able to transfer to ground level on their own or 

with the assistance of a companion. To facilitate 

the transfer, a transfer device is available. Please 

ask a Dino Guide for assistance. 

The dinosaur park is not included with general park 

admission or season pass. A separate admission 

ticket is required for this attraction. 

Halloween Haunt at Kings Dominion has extreme 

attractions that are designed to scare and startle. 

These attractions and the park in general will 

have areas of low lighting, strobe lighting, loud 

sound, and dense fog. Guests with respiratory 

sensitivities, history of seizures or epilepsy, or 

sensitivities to loud music and sound effects are 

advised not to participate in these attractions. 

Characters inside our Haunt attractions will not 

touch you; please do not touch them in any 

manner. Those that do will be removed from the 

park without refund. Rowdy behavior and profanity 

are also causes for removal from the park. For 

safety reasons, guests may not wear their own 

face paint, costumes, or masks. 

Please adhere to all posted and verbal warnings 

and directions. 

Some attractions may require guests to transfer 

from their motorized wheelchairs to a nonmotorized 

wheelchair located at the attraction.
