Riders purchasing a wristband must be atleast 36” tall
Parents with children under 48” should pay special attention to height requirements before purchasing wrist bands.
Shared or broken wrist bands will not be honored on any ride. These measurements represent the minimum height requirements.
Helpful Tip: Saving a screenshot of your ticket barcodes ensures you can still access them even if you don’t have internet or the ticket app glitches. It’s especially useful at crowded venues where cell service can be spotty.
