If you see a sign outside an attraction that indicates that someone who is pregnant, has back problems or a heart condition should not ride, please email me so that I can update this list.

Children who are too short to meet the height requirement for some rides, like Splash Mountain or Rock' n Roller Coaster can present themselves at the attraction's gift shop and receive a nicely printed certificate, suitable for framing, declaring them to be future riders of the attraction.
