For Your Safety and Convenience Rider Height Requirements the Code of the West
For Your Safety and Convenience At Knott’s Berry Farm, we want all of our guests to have a safe and enjoyable day. Every guest has different capabilities and limitations. Guests of extreme size, those with temporary disabilities (such as casts and braces), and certain permanent disabil- ities (such as neuromuscular disorders, amputations and other disabling conditions) may be prohibited from participating on some attractions for safety reasons. Hand- held infants may not be taken on the park’s more aggressive attractions. Expectant mothers and guests with heart or back conditions should be cautious in deciding which attractions to experience. For your protection, all the attractions here at Knott’s Berry Farm incorporate safety systems that are designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. 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 requirements, guests of exceptional size may not be accommodated on some of our attractions. This may apply, but not be limited to, guests who exceed 6' 2" or those who exceed 250 pounds (some attractions may have lower weight restrictions), have a 46" waistline or 54" chest. Extremely large or small individuals, guests who have a history of heart, back or neck trouble or recent surgery, expectant mothers, guests with casts, braces, restrictive devices or disabilities may be affected by the requirements needed to ensure these systems operate properly. Our ride admission policy has been developed in consultation with the recommenda- tions of the manufacturer, our past experience, and our evaluation of each attraction using our knowledge of the attraction both in normal and emergency operating conditions. -
