Ride Rating System
A Ride Rating System 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:
