Water Park Safety Rules

Important! Please Read:

Parents: Your child’s safety is a shared responsibility.

  • Lifeguards monitor guest safety, but they should not be considered supervision for your children.
  • A supervising companion should accompany children at all times.
  • The supervising companion must be 14 years of age or older and meet all posted attraction ridership requirements.
  • “Supervising companion” is understood to mean a person who is responsible for assuring that the child will comply with all applicable rules and regulations for the ride.
  • The activities in the resort have varying levels of thrill and may have requirements based on physical and mental abilities. It is the supervising companion’s responsibility to know their child’s ability and to help them make decisions regarding their participation.
  • Guests less than 48 inches tall, weak swimmers and non-swimmers should wear a lifejacket.

    • Courtesy US Coast Guard approved lifejackets are available, but they must remain in the waterpark.
    • Inflatable devices are prohibited.
  • Waterslides are high-thrill rides. Riders will experience steep declines, inclines, changing directions and high speed.

    • Participation in or on any amusement ride or attraction involves inherent risks. You have a duty to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible manner while participating on the ride or attraction and to obey all oral and/or written warnings.
  • For your safety, you should be in good health to ride. Only you know your physical conditions or limitations. If you suspect your health could be at risk or you could aggravate a pre-existing condition, PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE!
