First and foremost, Cedar Point is about fun. Fun for everyone. Here you'll find everything you need to know about navigating and enjoying the park and all of its experiences for those with disabilities. And if you can't find the answers here, feel free to download our Guest Assistance Guide, email us at contact@cedarpoint.com, or stop by any of our Guest Services areas at the front gate or throughout the park.
At Cedar Point we are proud of our reputation for accommodating guests with disabilities through our Ride Admission Policy. To provide equal access for all guests, we have developed a program which allows guests with mobility restrictions or cognitive impairment 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 in order to safely ride/participate.
The guest with a mobility restriction or cognitive impairment should visit Guest Services upon their arrival at the park to express their inability to wait in the regular line. Some questions are asked to ensure that the rider has the required physical criteria in order to safely experience attractions. Following that conversation, the Guest Services Associate will provide the details needed to participate in the program.
For a complete listing of guidelines please download our Guest Assistance Guide.
When you arrive at the park, please proceed to Guest Services located at the Front Gate.
- Please have your party—including the individual requiring accommodation—accompany you to Guest Services.
- A pass may be issued depending on the needs of your group, including a boarding pass used for scheduling times to ride attractions.
- At Guest Services we offer KidTrack, a wrist band program, which will assist you and park personnel in reuniting your group should you become separated.
- We also offer Rider Swap. This allows one guest to ride while another guest waits with the guest who did not ride. When the ride is complete, the guests swap responsibility at the exit. Rider Swap is not available at Cedar Point Shores Waterpark or Castaway Bay.
- Additionally, if you need to rent a stroller, wheelchair or locker, proceed to the Rental Center near Guest Services inside the front gate.
- Please re-visit Guest Services if you need any additional help with your day.
- We also recommend that as an added safety measure you take a photo of members of your party (especially if you have a member in your party who tends to dart away or wander off) on your mobile device. This photo can be of great assistance to quickly reunite your party if you are separated.
During your visit:
- Guests who wear headphones will not be able to wear them while riding many of our attractions. We have available disposable ear protection for use at Guest Services.
- If you are separated during your visit, please contact any park employee for assistance.
- Ride delays may occur while riding and members of your party may be required to sit quietly until the ride is restarted or guests are escorted off the ride.
- Please be aware, if an evacuation is required, guests may need to maneuver across catwalks from the highest point of the ride and down steeply inclined steps.
- If you have any doubts whatsoever about an attraction’s appropriateness for the individual with Autism, please have someone in your party ride it first to make an informed determination.
Cedar Point offers our guests several restful attractions and quiet places that your party can enjoy during the day. The park has a Quiet Room at Frontier Town First Aid for family members or caregivers to take a break and reduce sensory stimulation. Additionally, there are sensory features provided for Guest use. Additionally, air-conditioned restaurants provide a nice break from the sensory stimulation.
Cedar Point is a wonderful destination for families and friends to visit. Our goal is to make your experience at the park both smooth and full of family fun. Please let us know if you have any further questions by contacting (419) 627-2350 or by talking to a Guest Services representative at the park.

Many rides at Cedar Point 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 speed, steep drops, sharp turns or other dynamic forces. If you choose to ride, you accept all of these risks. Participate responsibly. You should be in good health to ride safely. You know your physical conditions and limitations, Cedar Point 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! Restrictions for guests of larger size (height or weight) are posted at certain rides. Guests with disabilities should refer to our Ride Admission Policy available at Guest Services or Frontier Town Guest Service.
Guests with a history of recent surgery, heart trouble/high blood pressure, neck trouble, back trouble, or any other condition that may be aggravated by riding, or who are pregnant, should carefully heed all warning signs at a ride entrance. If you are in doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride or would like more rider information, please request our Guest Assistance Guide at Guest Services or Frontier Town Guest Service. We’ll be happy to brief you on our Ride Admission Policy and explain how it applies to your specific situation. We hope we can help you enjoy your day more fully.
Section 993.08 of the Revised Code requires that riders must obey all warnings and directions regarding rides and behave in a manner that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor.
Service animals are welcome at Cedar Point. 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 Camp Snoopy on the Gemini Midway.
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 4x4's, Cadillac Cars, Camp Bus, Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad, Giant Wheel, Kiddy Kingdom Carousel, Midway Carousel, Peanuts Road Rally, Sky Ride, Snake River Expedition, Snoopy's Deep Sea Divers and Snoopy's Express Railroad. 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 any Haunt exterior or interior maze. Visit Guest Services or Town Hall for more information.
