Those with disabilities

And making the entire queue wheelchair "accessible" would be insane for most rides. How much queue space would Millennium or Dragster lose by widening the rows to accommodate wheelchairs?

The system they have now is a good system provided those administering it don't have a God complex on a power trip.

Amen to that!

i'm nervous about traveling all the way from virginia just to be told i can't ride any of the rides.

has anybody with Cerebral Palsy been told they can't ride the rides here?

i've rode many roller coasters. recently a friend of mine with similar CP to mine, was told she couldn't ride any of the rides at Kings Dominion Va. (in the past i've rode all rides at KD, but the last time i was there they gave me a hard time about one of the coasters)

i love roller coasters and look forward to riding them at cedar point.

blondiebell227, how did your friend find this out?

On the cedarpoint.com website they have a section on guests with disabilities.

I would say you would have to know your limits but any questions you could call Cedar Point.

I would imagine if you've been currently riding coasters without issue, you shouldn't have any now. Hope it works out for you!

I would say you would have to know your limits ....

i just don't want cedar point staff to define my limits for me. that's what i'm afraid of.

yeah. i am thinking of calling. but that's tricky too. i don't want them to jump to conclusions when hearing me speak.

I understand, you don't want a "better safe than sorry" catch-all response either.

Then again, how are they going to know who you are the same person with a disability when you get there?

I think the ultimate responsibility is with the rider. People with heart conditions aren't supposed to ride coasters. Cedar Point can basically just give the obligatory warnings.

What about a doctor's note?

I don't know if a written statement from your doctor saying you're healthy enough to ride in general would be helpful or not. I've seen a park guest who appeared to have somedegree of paralysis lifted out of Blue Streak and plopped back into her wheelchair by a family member.
