This has become a location I would only recommend ...

This has become a location I would only recommend to thrill seekers. Small children would enjoy the kids area but adults and seniors would not do well here.
There is limited seating available. The pathway from one ride to another is very steep in some areas so wheelchairs and those with disabilities will struggle.
I am disabled and only wanted to go on one ride, Rapids. The signage only stated to go to the exit and walk up the stairs. It is a steep climb but it is possible. The problem is though there are two sets one was closed off because a concrete step came off and a crew was under the stairs to repair it. The key note is they found rotting screws and brackets on the side being used by guests and they were working to secure that side first before it became unusable.
Now when I reached the top with the help of my daughters I was informed by the ride operators that I had to show them a disabled voucher proving I was in fact disabled. I was wearing a external metal knee brace and two ankle braces. One worker who realized I was struggling after the long climb up the steps agreed to take my daughter back down the steps all the way to guest services at the entrance of the park to get the verification voucher. I gave my daughter my DMV proof since I carry it with me, and the worker had her take a picture of me at the ride to show I am in a brace and at the ride.
Guests services refused to give my daughter the voucher. Telling her I had to be standing in front of them. There was no way I could go back down the stairs, all the way to the front of the park, back to the ride and back up the stairs.
Personally if this is there policy it needs to be stated on the sign to the ride as well as in the park map. In addition, I came in with a Walker. A gate attendant should have asked me if I wanted to go on rides and then directed me to guest services for the ride voucher proving I am disabled.
Due to their failure in communication, their lack of care towards disabled guests, current disrepair of ride... I notice hand rails with metal rot and holes.... i have no desire to return nor recommend this location to anyone.
