SAFETY OVERVIEW
Waldameer is committed to providing a safe environment for all our Guests and strictly enforces all safety regulations in accordance with the Pennsylvania Rider Safety and Liability Act and Pennsylvania State Amusement Ride Inspection Act, and in doing so Waldameer reserves the right to refuse any Guest admission to any ride or attraction.
PA Act No. 1994-58 Amusement Rider Safety and Liability Act: The PA Amusement Rider Safety and Liability Act require that all riders obey all warnings and directions regarding the ride and must behave in a manner that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. Failure to comply is cause for dismissal from the park without refund.
Safety is designed into all areas of Waldameer. While most of our rides are accessible to those with disabilities, it should be noted that, in the interest of personal safety, some Guests might not be permitted to board certain rides. Access criteria are based on any Guest’s ability to: ✓ Meet the height requirements ✓ Utilize all safety devices and restraints ✓ Maintain proper riding posture ✓ Safely evacuate the ride if needed. May require riding companion assistance. ✓ Have the mental capacity to be aware of potential hazards while riding or have riding companion assistance to do so.
Most attractions, games, gift shops, and food stands are accessible to all our Guests. In some cases, however, Guests may need the assistance from a member in their party. No Guest may compromise the safety or welfare of other Guests or Employees.
ADMISSION INFORMATION
Admission Waldameer offers free admission to the amusement park. All day Ride-A-Rama, Water World, and Combo passes can be purchased at Admission Booths located near the Dodg’em ride and the Peninsula Drive Park Entrance. Regular prices apply. (Waldameer does not issue rain checks or refunds.) Wally Cards, which can be purchased at Admission Booths and Yellow Kiosks throughout the park, can be used to pay for individual rides instead of purchasing an all-day pass.
If a Guest uses a wheelchair and cannot use Water World’s attractions, they are not required to purchase admission to Water World.
Guests with disabilities that are unable to access a ride using the queue and turnstile qualifies for a yellow wristband which allows them to access a ride through the accessible entrance. Up to three additional guests may accompany a Guest using the accessible entrance. A yellow wristband is acquired at Guest Service next to the Merry-Go-Round ride. For convenience, members of the party accompanying a guest needing a yellow wristband may also purchase their admission and receive their wristbands at Guest Service. See page 9 for information about using accessible entrances with a yellow wristband.
Supervising Companion Waldameer defines a Supervising Companion as a person who meets all the ride safety criteria, is qualified to understand rider instructions, and can assist a child or accompanying rider with the rider instructions. Many attractions require a Supervising Companion for guests within certain height restrictions or guests needing assistance to maintain proper riding posture. Supervising Companions are required to have a paid admission using a wristband or Wally Card.
GENERAL INFORMATION
In-Park Purchases and Methods of Payment Waldameer and Water World is a cashless park. The only places cash is accepted are the Admission Booths and Yellow Kiosks throughout the park. Wally Cards can be loaded with points at Yellow Kiosks. Credit/Debit Cards and Wally Cards are required for purchases at Food Locations, Gift Shops, and Locker House.

Service Animals Domestic service animals are welcome in most locations throughout Waldameer. Service Animals must always be in the owner’s control. Service animals must be on a harness or leash no longer than six feet. Owners are responsible for cleaning and disposing of any animal waste.
Service animals are not allowed on any rides or attractions at Waldameer or in the water of any Water World attraction. We suggest a companion visit the Park with you to care for your service animal while riding. Service animals must not be left unattended or with Waldameer Employees. Waldameer reserves the right to limit any service animal when safety is in question.
Mobility Devices Personal mobility devices such as wheelchairs, electric convenience vehicles, walkers, or related medically necessary transportation devices are permitted inside Waldameer & Water World.

RIDE GUIDELINES & RULES
Making an Informed Riding Decision Guests with recent surgery, heart problems, high blood pressure, neck or back problems, pregnancy, motion sickness, fear of heights, sensitivity to strobe or effect lighting, or have any other condition that may be aggravated by riding must use discretion in selecting rides to enjoy. It is the responsibility of the guest to be aware of health history, limitations and restrictions
Our primary concern is your ability to endure the dynamics of a ride without risk to yourself, other riders, or staff members. If you suspect your health could be at risk, or you could aggravate a pre-existing condition, DO NOT RIDE. We encourage you to observe each ride through its loading, running and unloading cycle to understand its operation.
Most of Waldameer & Water World is accessible to Guests with disabilities. All accessible entrances and exits are clearly marked at all attractions.
Health Restrictions All attraction Safety Information is posted at each attraction entrance so that you may make informed decisions on your ability to safely participate.
Guests with the conditions listed below must take careful consideration before deciding to enjoy an attractions. The Ride Description section (p. 12-27) of this booklet provides Health Restriction recommendations for each ride.
Restraint Systems Each ride has a unique restraint device, and some rides may not accommodate guests of larger size or other body proportions. A Guest will not be able to ride if they do not properly fit the restraint system.
Artificial Limbs & Amputees Guests may be asked to securely or remove any prostheses before riding to ensure the safety of the rider and other Guests. Artificial limbs unable to be secured or that prevent a restraint from properly functioning may prevent a rider from being able to enjoy a ride.
Loose Articles Items such as bags, purses, hats, cameras, phones, and glasses must be placed in the designated loose article bin, left with a non-rider, or in a rented locker before riding. Waldameer is not responsible for items damaged, lost, or stolen during your ride experience.
Oxygen Tanks Due to the variable forces, speeds, and movements of our rides, oxygen tanks are not permitted on rides. Oxygen tanks are allowed on L. Ruth Express only.
Ride Evacuations Although remote, there is a possibility that a mechanical problem, power failure, or adverse weather conditions may lead to an unexpected stoppage of a ride. Riders may be required to evacuate the ride using catwalks, steeply inclined ramps, or stairs. Those unable to evacuate with companion assistance may need to wait in the ride restrained in their seats for extended periods of time until additional assistance arrives. Please consider this before deciding to ride.
The following rides may require evacuation using stairs, catwalks, or steeply inclined ramps. • Ravine Flyer II • Steel Dragon • Ravine Flyer 3 • Thunder River • Comet • Whacky Shack Waldameer staff members are not permitted or trained to physically lift or carry Guests off rides in the event of an evacuation.
Ride Access Using Accessible Entrance The accessible entrance is meant to provide access to a ride for guests who are unable to navigate the queue and turnstile; not to necessarily bypass others in already in line. A Guest with a yellow wristband must ride for their accompanying members of their party to also access the ride using the accessible entrance.
Procedure for Accessible Entrance Ride Access 1. Ring doorbell or signal arrival to Ride Operator. 2. Ride Operator will release accessible entrance gate when safe to enter. 3. Ride Operator will verify that height, safety, and admission requirements are met. 4. Remove/secure loose articles. 5. Take Seat. Companion assistance may be required to be properly seated. Ride Operators are not permitted or trained to lift or carry a rider into or out of their seat. 6. Once safe to do so, exit ride vehicle, collect loose articles, and exit the ride using accessible gate.
Re-rides: At the end of each ride, Guests wishing to ride again must leave their seat, gather loose articles, and re-enter using the queue. Guests using the accessible entrance with their yellow wristband must also leave their seat to allow the next group of riders to enter. The only occasions a Guest with a yellow wristband may re-ride without exiting and re-entering are the following: • Ravine Flyer II: No one is in line for their row of seats • Seating remains after all Guests in queue for the next ride cycle are admitted
Water World – Slide Access Water slide towers require Guests to climb steps reaching elevations as high as 45ft. All guests wishing to slide must queue behind the last person in line. A Yellow Wristband does not allow a Guest to bypass guests already queuing for a water slide.
All water slide splash pools and runout areas are accessible for spectators to rejoin members of their party using the water slide.
