Any use, reuse or reproduction for commercial purposes without the express written consent of The Great Escape is prohibited.

RAIN POLICY

Some rides and shows will close temporarily during electrical storms, heavy rains, high winds and other severe weather conditions. As soon as conditions permit safe operation, these attractions will re-open. The Great Escape does not issue rain checks or refunds.

RIDE POLICIES

RIDER RESPONSIBILITY

There is an inherent risk in participating in any amusement ride. We expect riders to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible manner. Guests must also obey all oral and written warnings, and properly use all ride safety equipment provided. Guests who do not comply with ride rules may be ejected from the park without refund. Please refer to specific guidelines posted at the entrance of every ride.

RIDE RESTRICTIONS

Safety is our number one priority. Guests with certain body proportions, or of certain heights and/or weights may not be able to enjoy certain rides if the safety restraints will not operate as designed. Specific ride information is available at the ride and at Guest Relations. For your convenience, a one-time height check is available at Guest Relations and Lost Parents, so smaller guests don't have to be re-measured at each attraction.

CASTS

Guests visiting Six Flags with an arm or leg cast may be restricted from enjoying some of our attractions. Any guest wearing an arm or leg cast that extends above the elbow or knee, and restricts the movement of the guest’s arm or leg, will be denied access to all rides and attractions. Any guest wearing an arm or leg cast that does not extend above the elbow or knee, and allows full motion of the guest’s arm or leg, will be permitted on most attractions with the exception of the following: Bumper Cars, Matterhorn Rockwall, Olympiad Grand Prix, Skycoaster and Turbo Bungee. Any guest wearing an arm or leg cast in Splashwater Kingdom will not be permitted to participate on any slides. Any guest wearing an arm cast in Splashwater Kingdom will be permitted with a water proof cast in Captain Hook’s Adventure River and Lumberjack Splash.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

For your safety, certain rides may need to close during severe weather, such as electrical storms, heavy rain, or high winds. Most restaurants, theaters and shops will remain open. Rides will re-open as soon as safe operations can be assured. Refunds and rain checks are not offered for inclement weather.

LINE JUMPING

Line jumping is strictly prohibited. Guests are not permitted to save places in line or exit the line and return for any reason. Violators will be ejected without a refund.

LOOSE ARTICLES

Loose articles are not permitted on most rides and should be left with non-riders or secured in lockers. Six Flags and its employees are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Cell phones, pagers, or other small items must be secured in cargo pockets, zippered jacket pockets, or waist packs. All loose articles which cannot be secured must be left in a locker or with a non-rider prior to entering the queue line.
