I realize this is a tad different, but:
Casts and Braces
Guests with casts and braces will be restricted from riding rideswhere the cast or brace will not fit inside the ride unit or where itwill present a hazard to the guest or others. Guests with full arm(elbow restricted) and full leg (knee restricted) casts or braces arerestricted from MOST rides at Cedar Point.
Being in a sling, you might be considered as elbow restricted, though again I know it's not quite the same as having a full arm cast. I'd suggest calling the park to find out, because I know I wouldn't want to get on much of anything that could potentially hit a bump send a jolt through my fractured collar bone.
Also, if it was my call, I'm sorry - but I'd tell you no.
If you're able to take your arm out of the sling when you visit and move it freely (i.e. no restricted movement of elbow, as mentioned above), then you should be fine-- few or no restrictions.
If you are NOT able to remove your arm from the sling (or if you have a cast that goes over your elbow), then you're not going to be able to ride much at all. We're talkin' like Sky Ride, Paddlewheel and the train! :)
If you have any doubts at all, call park information and ask to speak with the Park Operations office BEFORE you visit. Once you're in the park, it's too late and you've wasted your money.
Best of luck!
