Broken leg

I was wondering, I think I broke my foot yesterday(I will find out for sure tomarrow) and I was wondering, can I still go on all of the coasters? If It is broken then I will probably have a short cast(not one that goes close to my knees). If I can will I still be able to ride raptor and WT(because they are suspended)? I think it is kinda obvious I prob cant go on Mantis(I dont particulary like it anyways), but I want to know if I will have to reschedule the days I go until the very end of august( :( currently I'm going May 20-21) or if I can still go then. Thanks.

I meant to say foot on the topic

I'm sure the Park Operations office can tell you exactly what and whatnot you can go on. Depending on your circumstances, you may even be able to get a pass that allows you to walk up the entrance ramps to rides, since stairs with a broken foot probably wouldn't work out very well.

does that mean I get to skip the line ;) or just wait for my brother and dad to get through the line?

My mom tried calling them a little while ago but I guess its just open until 5

Either that, or from what I understand, the ride op at the entrance estimates the wait time in the queue and tells you when to come back (before you are allowed up the exit ramp). So you're still waiting, just not packed together with everyone else. I've seen many times in the past where the disabled person and his/her guests are all allowed up the exit ramp at the same time and usually have their choice of seats.

I noticed relatively small foot area for TTD...I have a size 15 shoe and found the fit to be a bit cramped. So, a cast may hinder your ability to ride TTD. But yes, call the park first to make sure.

Raptor0137 you are exactly right about the special access boarding passes. They are issued at Park Operations and Town Hall.

ONE freeway stamp a day... ONE

does that mean you have to sit down near the ride or can you go to other places while you wait?

Never mind. I called(they were there this time) and they basicaly said what was said here. I can go on all but 4 rides(the waveswinger, thunder mountain, a kiddie ride, and some other uninteresting to me ride). When I go to a major ride the person at the entrance writes down how long the line is on a thing that he gives me or something like that. I then go to the exit at that time and can go on. I am assuming that I get to pick my seat(they didn't say that but considering you guys had the info correct for the other things, this is prob right) The good thing is that I think that I can for example go on Magum a bunch of times while waiting for TTD :)

edit: Oh yeah, they even said I can go on Mantis which was surprising, I'm not sure if I will go on it, but still, if I want to I can ;)

There was a gentleman last year that went on WT with a prosthetic leg. The only reason that I know this is that the leg became detached during the ride and we were able to be launched again, and he stayed on the ride.

I can't imagine that your foot would stop you for many rides, but the pressure your foot will endure may cause some pain.

Of course, you would know your personal limitations better than anyone else. I'm not so sure that I would attempt to go on Mantis with a broken foot unless, I could somehow shift more of my weight onto the other foot while riding.

I'm not planning on going on Mantis unless my foot is feeling better. So one less line to wait for. Wait, i dont have to wait in any lines ;)

My friend Jeff who I went to CP with on Opening Day broke his foot and had a walking cast. We went to Park Ops and they gave him a list of what he can and can't ride. Only rides really are Ocean Motion and one other I forgot but everything else is fine.

heh, ive never even heard of that :-p, what kind of ride is it

Ocean Motion is the swinging ship one. You know, the one at carnivals that swings back and forth.

Ok, I dont like those all that much, so I shouldnt mind.

One question: Where is the park opperations office?

Umm..the last time I was there was 3 years ago, when I had to be officially measured. It's a little up the midway from Raptor if i remember correctly, like around the big arcades in the main midway. I'm sure you can get someone to tell you the exact coordinates sooner or later.

It's right across from the big Giraffee in Kiddy Kingdom. It's in the Coliseum, so if you pass it, you've gone too far. :)
