Some rides may appear tame from the midway, but are actually quite thrilling. Every ride is grouped into one of five categories: CHILDREN'S RIDES This is a low-speed, gentle ride intended for young children and may accommodate chaperones where permitted. MILD THRILL RIDES This is a low to medium speed ride with expected changes in elevation and speed. This ride may require some rider body control and is not intended for unaccompanied toddlers or very young children. MODERATE THRILL RIDES This is a medium speed ride where riders may experience unexpected changes in elevation and speed. This ride may contain moderate twists, turns, bumps, spins, and loops, and may require some rider body control. HIGH THRILL RIDES This is a fast-paced ride experience with unexpected changes in speed, direction, and/or elevation. This ride may contain significant twists, turns, bumps, spins, and loops, and requires rider full body control. AGGRESSIVE THRILL RIDES This is a high-speed experience. Riders will experience many unexpected, rapid changes in speed, direction, and/or elevation and requires rider full body control. This ride is not recommended for guests with physical, cognitive, and/or medical limitations.
