We are proud of our reputation for providing reasonable accommodations to Guests with disabilities through our Attraction Accessibility Program. To provide equal access for all Guests, we have developed a program that allows Guests with mobility restrictions or cognitive impairments to access attractions.
Information about where Guests access the ride is posted on each attraction’s Safety Guide sign. All Guests are required to meet all riding requirements for every attraction, including height and health restrictions to safely ride/participate.
The following procedures apply to Guests who wish to participate in our Attraction Accessibility Program:
Guests with mobility restrictions or cognitive impairments who request reasonable accommodations are encouraged to obtain the IBCCES Accessibility Card (IAC) by registering at http://www.accessibilitycard.org or via the Accessibility Card mobile App. Once a Guest has filled out the online application and uploaded necessary documentation into a secure online portal, they will be able to access their digital Accessibility Card. Guests will present the IBCCES Accessibility Card to Ride Information Center upon their arrival at the park to express their accommodation needs. Some questions are asked to ensure that the Guest has the required physical criteria in order to safely experience attractions. Following that conversation, the Ride Information Center Associate will provide the details needed to participate in the program.
Six Flags’ Attraction Accessibility Program is designed to provide equal access to all Guests and does not provide immediate boarding on to attractions.
Note: Only IBCCES can issue the IBCCES Accessibility Card, and not Six Flags Great Adventure
If requested at least 1 week in advance, Six Flags Great Adventure will provide American Sign Language (ASL) Interpretation for live shows featured at our live entertainment venues. Six Flags Great Adventure understands, however, there may be rare occasions where an ASL interpreter request cannot be made this far in advance. In those circumstances, Six Flags Great Adventure will endeavor to provide an ASL interpreter but if an ASL interpreter is unable to be secured within that shortened time, it will provide a reasonable alternative.
To request ASL Interpretation services, please complete the request form. Upon arrival at the park, please check in with Guest Services to review our show schedule and determine your preferred showtimes and selections.
Braille and Large Print Guides
Braille and large print copies of the Guest Accessibility Guide are available at Guest Services. There are a limited number of guides available on a first-come, first-served basis.
White Canes can be used to access many of our attractions. White Canes may need to be collapsed and safely secured, stored or left with a non-rider on attractions where they could be a hazard.
Guests with casts and braces will be restricted from riding rides where the cast or brace will not fit safely inside the ride unit or where it will present a hazard to the Guest or others or where it is prohibited by the manufacturer of the attraction. Guests with full arm (elbow restricted) and full leg (knee restricted) casts or braces are restricted from MOST rides and water slides at Six Flags Great Adventure. We suggest you delay your visit until the cast is removed.
Please refer to the Guest Accessibility Guide for further information regarding casts and braces.
Guests with any type of prosthesis should not ride unless they can ensure the device is properly secured and will remain in place during the ride. If there is any concern of the prosthesis becoming dislodged during the ride, Guests should visit the Ride Information Center for assistance. Braces with exposed metal parts are not permitted on the water slides in Hurricane Harbor.

Service animals are welcome at Six Flags Great Adventure. A service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to perform tasks for a person with disabilities. Service animals must be controlled with a restraining device and must display appropriate behavior at all times while on our property. There is a limit of one service animal per Guest. A relief area is located across from Wonder Woman and next to El Toro.
Due to the nature of most rides, service animals must remain with a non-riding member of your party. We are not permitted to take control of your service animal. Guests may take advantage of our Rider Swap policy for staying with the service animal. Service animals may be taken on the Giant Wheel, Carousel and BUGS BUNNY Camp Carousel. Service animals must be leashed, under the owner’s control, fit on the floor of the ride vehicle, and seated on the floor, not the ride seat.
Service animals are not permitted in water attractions, wet decks, wading pools, or lazy rivers. They are permitted to walk through the park areas, including scare zones. However, for safety reasons, service animals are not permitted in the Wild Safari. Visit Ride Information Center or refer to our Guest Accessibility Guide for more information.

For your convenience, wheelchair rentals are located next to Guest Relations after entering the Main Gate. The fee for a standard wheelchair is $25 plus a $25 deposit, and an Electronically Controlled Vehicle (ECV) is $55.00 plus a $50.00 deposit. The deposit must be done with a Credit Card for both wheelchair and ECV. Because there are a limited number of wheelchairs and ECVs for rent, we suggest you bring your own and/or come early to ensure availability.
Guests may also use their own wheelchairs or ECV’s. Rented wheelchairs or ECVs are NOT allowed outside of the park. Battery recharging is also available at the Rental Center.
Trained service animals are welcome at our Six Flags Theme Parks. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals. Miniature horses that have been individually trained to do or perform tasks for people with disabilities will qualify as service animals.
Service animals must be house broken and remain on a leash or harness and under the control of their handler at all times. Guests whose service animal demonstrates aggressive and/or annoying actions toward a Guest or Team Member will be directed to remove the animal from the park.
Service animals are welcome in most locations of the park. Most of our rides are not equipped or designed for accessibility to service animals. Therefore, a member of your party must be available to stay with the animal while you ride.
Guests may take advantage of our Kid Swap policy for staying with their service animal. However, park Team Members will not take responsibility for, or provide care to any service animal. Refer to the section on Kid Swap for more information.
Further, the Park has service animal relief areas which are designated on the Park Map for the convenience of guests and their service animals.
The Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program is designed to accommodate guests with disabilities who are in need of support services such as personal hygiene, eating, toileting, transferring, safe movement, maintaining continence and/or medication management, in order to participate in the Park’s goods, services and attractions. The PCA’s attendance is required to enable the guest to participate in the Park’s goods, services and attractions. The PCA is not a guest and shall not participate in any of the Park’s good, services or attractions separate and apart from their client. The PCA receives compensation for the PCA’s services, and the PCA is professionally licensed as a home health aide. If the Park discovers that the guest or the PCA has misrepresented the purpose of the PCA or that the PCA has acted as a patron of the Park as opposed to a PCA, the PCA and the guest will be expelled from the Park and may be barred from future entry.
