Expo International
ExhibitorInformation
and Show Directions
This year, millions of people will visit concession kart tracks, amusement parks or family entertainment centers. Guests can help make their visit a safe and fun one by following these safety tips.
1) Dress comfortably, but avoid open-toed shows, dangling clothing and jewelry. Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen and headgear, even on cloudy days.
2) Observe all rules that are posted at each attraction, and follow the verbal instructions given by ride operators.
3) Obey listed age, height and weight restrictions, as well as those concerning health matters such as heart conditions, back and neck trouble, pregnancy, recent surgery, and high blood pressure.
4) Keep hands, arms, legs and feet inside the ride at all times, and remain in the ride until it comes to a complete stop and you are instructed by a ride operator to exit the ride. If a personal item falls outside the vehicle while you’re on the ride, do not try to retrieve it yourself, instead, ask the ride operator for assistance after you have exited from the ride.
5) Always use the safety equipment provided on a ride and DO NOT attempt to wiggle free from the seatbelts or other restraints in search of a “bigger thrill” or the opportunity to show off.
6) Parents must take an active role with their young children: observe the ride in operation first to ensure that your child can ride it safely and then explain to your child about the appropriate behavior on a ride.
7) Don’t over-eat or consume a significant amount of alcohol prior to riding. Stop riding before you become excessively tired.
8) Prior to visiting a park or attraction, contact the Guest Relations office for a guide map that indicates general information about the rides, limitations, safety guidelines, as well as the other entertainment and available facilities.
9) BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!
