Please Ride Safely WARNING Many rides at Kings Dominion are dynamic and thrilling. There are inherent risks in riding any amusement ride. For your protection, each ride is rated for its special features, such as high speeds, steep drops, sharp turns, or other dynamic forces. If you choose to ride, you accept all of these risks. Restrictions for guests of extreme size (height or weight) are posted at certain rides. Guests with disabilities should refer to our Ride Admission Policy available at Guest Services. Participate responsibly. You should be in good health to ride safely. You know your physical conditions and limitations, Kings Dominion does not. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or you could aggravate a pre-existing condition of any kind, DO NOT RIDE! All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be positioned, fastened and tightened properly to allow guests to ride. Information in this guide is subject to change. As a rider, you are responsible for your own safety. Please read this brochure and all instructional signage before riding. Listen to and follow all operator instructions. Any person who intentionally removes a safety restraint, violates a park safety policy, or appears to be under the influence of alcohol or chemical intoxicants will be removed from the park without refund. Before riding, please note all safety warnings for each ride. In general: 2011 Rider Safety Guide Welcome to Kings Dominion! We are glad you are here. We have plenty of exciting rides and shows for everyone. We are committed to providing our guests with a safe environment and we want our guests to have a safe and enjoyable day. Many amusement park rides incorporate safety systems designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. These safety systems may place restrictions on the ability of an individual to safely experience the ride. Extremely large or small individuals, guests who have heart, back or neck trouble, pregnant women, people who have had recent surgery, or people with casts, braces, restrictive devices or disabilities may not be safely accommodated by these systems. For example, height requirements are based on the size needed for the safety restraints to function properly and the level of maturity usually associated with a certain height. Kings Dominion’s Ride Admission Policy has been developed based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, our past experience, and our evaluation of each ride using our knowledge of the ride in both normal and emergency operating conditions. Our prime consideration is the ability of each person to endure the dynamics of a ride without risk of injury to that person or other riders. P.O. Box 2000 • Doswell, Virginia 23047-2000 804-876-5000 This Rider Safety Guide provides information on the recommendations and restrictions for each ride. Any guest who feels he may be affected by this policy is encouraged to visit Guest Services to speak with a representative to help determine what rides he can safely ride. www.KingsDominion.com Cedar Fair Entertainment Company® © 2011 Cedar Fair, L.P. © 2011 Peanuts Worldwide LLC, Peanuts.com KD11--173 • Face forward and remain seated in an upright position and hold on until the ride comes to a complete stop. • All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses, and seatbelts, must be positioned, fastened, and tightened at all times. • Secure loose items (glasses, hats, wallets, keys, etc.) or leave them with a non-rider. • No picture taking or video recording while riding. • You are responsible for your personal property. • Please keep all parts of your body inside the ride unit at all times. • Shirt, shoes, and shorts/pants are required on all amusement park rides. • Please finish food and drink before boarding the ride. • Smoking is only permitted in the designated smoking areas. • Supervise children at all times. Ride Rating System A Ride Rating Program 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: CategoryDescription Low Thrill Rides Rides that are generally calm and gentle in nature. Mild Thrill Rides Rides that generally have low speeds with gentle motion and braking. Rides have smooth transitions with some changes in elevation and speed. Moderate Thrill Rides Rides that generally have low to medium speeds and/or heights with moderate motion and braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in direction and/or speed during portions of the ride. High Thrill Rides Rides that generally have medium to high speeds and/or heights with moderate to rapid braking. Riders may encounter unexpected changes in speed, direction and/or elevation. Aggressive Thrill Rides Rides that generally have one or more of the following: high speeds and/or heights, aggressive and unexpected forces, and rapid directional or elevation change. Riders will encounter many unexpected rapid changes in speed, direction and/or elevation. KEY TO SYMBOLS The following symbols and ride ratings are used to define our rides on the following pages.

Ride units may also stop at the top of lifts or on the ride course due to mechanical reason. If evacuation from a ride/attraction is required, for safety reasons, we may evacuate ambulatory guests prior to evacuating those guests using wheelchairs. If so, you accept any danger due to delayed evacuation or if we need to physically lift or lower you. The manufacturer of Drop Tower, Intimidator™ 305, and Volcano, the Blast Coaster requires that guests with prosthetic devices provide Kings Dominion with documentation from the provider of their prosthetic device to guarantee that the device has been designed to remain securely in place while exceeding a maximum speed of 120 miles per hour with maximum G forces from -1.5 G’s to 5G’s with a sufficient safety factor for single point failure items.
