PARK RULES

For your safety and enjoyment at our Park, please carefully read all of the text below.   Failure to follow any of the regulations, conditions, and instructions set forth below may result in serious injury to yourself or other individuals. Individuals not following Park rules and safety instructions will be subject to immediate ejection from the Park without refund.

Park Safety Standards.  Please understand that people may be excluded or removed from certain rides, attractions, areas of the park, and/or certain activities, in the interests of safety as determined by Park personnel.  This may include, but is not limited to, concerns with sight-disabled people who need adequate eyesight to safely engage in an activity, height and weight restrictions, mobility and/or use and the existence of all limbs in a stable and coordinated manner, a clear and alert mind which is unaffected by mental disability or other hindrance, being under the influence of any substances (whether legal or illegal, drugs or medications, alcohol, or any other chemicals and substances), signs of heat illness, any loose headwear or clothing or apparel which may damage property or pose a hazard to a guest or others, and whether or not a person may appear to be ill or injured or otherwise unable to safely participate. 

Safety Guidelines:

Pay Attention.  Please watch where you are going.  Amusement parks are crowded places with many distractions, elevations in surfaces, landscaping, tree roots, rocks, man-made structures, patron possessions left lying around the park or in pathways, etc; this is the open, obvious and inherent nature of an amusement or water park environment.  As such, the park disclaims all liability, and shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever, for any trip, slip, and/or fall you and/or any minor(s) in your care may suffer, Nor for ANY INJURIES CAUSED FROM walking OR STUMBLING into objects or structures, OR FALLING OVER OBJECTS OR STRUCTURES.  By entering the park, you automatically agree to this waiver of all such liability.

Slippery Surfaces.  Surfaces may be slippery or wet—especially in bathrooms, on and around any water attractions, and in cafes or food areas. No Running (it poses a collision, trip, slip, and fall hazard).

Dress for Safety.  No loose/oversized/baggy clothing or accessories that are not thoroughly secured to your person, or any carried items, on any ride or attraction which may pose a hazard.  Prohibited items may include, without limitation (depending on the specific ride), any form of headwear, scarves, long belts, fringed materials, high heels, loose footwear, wigs, purses, backpacks, or any dangling fabric. 

Parking.  Parking lots are, by their very nature, hazardous places where you must act cautiously and pay attention at all times for yourself and those in your care (minors, elderly needing assistance, disabled persons, etc.).  Please drive slowly and carefully at all times (including into and out of parking spaces, or when entering or exiting the lot), realizing that children may be running about, that elderly or disabled may not hear or see your car, etc.  The Park shall not be liable for theft, break-ins, car collisions, or other property damage, and the Park has zero liability for anything occurring on public roads.

Electronic devices.  Electronic devices, including photographic or recording equipment (e.g., phones of any kind, selfie-sticks, or cameras of any kind, flashlights, radios, iPods, etc.), are not permitted on any ride.  Phones, cameras, and other devices pose a serious safety hazard on rides.  Depending on the ride, all such devices must (in the Park’s discretion) either be completely secure on one’s person or may not be allowed at all (even in your pocket).  Electronic devices, and any hand-held object of any kind (lotion, keys, iPhones, etc.), are totally prohibited on water rides.

Safety First. Before getting on a ride, make sure to observe the ride in operation, and how people board and exit.  If anything makes you uncomfortable about participating, please do not participate.  If you do choose to participate, realize that you are assuming all risks of the ride or attraction in which you are participating.

READ AND ABIDE BY ALL SAFETY SIGNAGE, ATTENDANT INSTRUCTIONS, AND RECORDED WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.  If you have questions, PLEASE ASK an attendant.  If you see something unsafe, PLEASE TELL an attendant.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY RIDE, ACTIVITY, OR ATTRACTION, IF YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY ALCOHOL, DRUGS (WHETHER LEGAL MEDICATION OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES), OR OTHER SUBSTANCES WHICH MAY AFFECT YOUR HEALTH, SENSES, BODY REFLEXES, AND COORDINATION.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY RIDE, ACTIVITY, OR ATTRACTION, IF YOU HAVE ANY HEALTH CONDITIONS OR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS OR INJURIES, OR IF YOU ARE TOO AFRAID TO PARTICIPATE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION HEART, NERVE, MUSCLE, BACK, NECK, BONE, JOINT, BRAIN, EYE, EAR, OR OTHER AILMENT OR INJURY, OR IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE HAD SURGERY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS OR IF YOU ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM ANY ILLNESS OR MEDICAL CONDITION, TREATMENT OR PROCEDURE.  ONLY YOU CAN DETERMINE IF YOU FEEL GOOD ENOUGH TO SAFELY PARTICIPATE IN A RIDE OR ATTRACTION.  THE PARK DOES NOT, AND CAN NOT, GUARANTEE YOUR HEALTH, AND YOU FULLY ASSUME ALL RISKS OF ANY PARK RIDE OR ACTIVITY IN WHICH YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE.

Guests with Disabilities

If you (or someone you are responsible for) have a particular disability or special need, we encourage you to contact the Park and speak with a manager in advance of your visit to better assist us in preparing for your visit.  If you have a group of disabled persons, advance notice as per group policy is needed, and will greatly help to better serve your experience. Please contact Daytona Lagoon, Guest Services at guestservice@daytonalagoon.com or (386) 254-5020.

While the Park complies with federal and state disability and accommodation laws, there may be some rides or attractions, activities, or areas of the Park, which may not be safely accessible to all persons.  At the Park, safety is the only consideration that takes precedence over fun!  Thrill rides, by their nature, create forces and speeds that may not be acceptable or tolerable to some guests and may cause injury to some riders with known or unknown pre-existing conditions. For your protection, many of the rides and other attractions at the Park incorporate safety systems that are designed to accommodate people with certain characteristics such as average physical stature and body proportion.  These safety systems may place restrictions on the ability of certain individuals to safely experience an attraction. 

In general, you should only ride a thrill ride, or participate in certain attractions, if you are in good health. Do not ride if you know or suspect that you may be pregnant, have high blood pressure, heart, neck, or body problems, motion sickness, recent surgery, or any other medical condition that may be affected by the features of the ride. You should not ride if you have any impairment or condition that would prevent the intended use of seating and safety restrains as provided, or an inability to follow any safety requirement.   

Please note that the Park does NOT provide medication, insulin, or other medical treatments or devices, other than basic first aid; please plan your visit accordingly.

Weather

Weather is unpredictable and can pose certain health and safety hazards.  For example, if you are sensitive to heat, you should consider not visiting the Park on a hot day, staying hydrated, and/or limiting your time outside. Or, if you have poor mobility or stability, it might be better for you not to come on a wet day where things might be more slippery. Only you can make informed decisions about weather forecasts and whether or not any given day would be appropriate for a Park visit. 

Children – Notice to Parents & Guardians

Children under 13 years of age may NOT be at the Park without adult supervision.   Regardless, we strongly recommend that minors (under 18) be accompanied by an adult.

The Park does not assume any responsibility or liability for unattended minors; children and the behavior of all minors are the sole responsibility of their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parents/guardians may be held legally liable for all acts of the children under their care.  Please make sure that minors act responsibly, and in consideration of others, at all times. For example: no running; no twirling on banisters; no climbing on structures, or sitting on fences; no “horseplay” (e.g., wrestling, gymnastics, playing “tag,” throwing rocks or other items at each other, etc.) especially on rides, ride lines, in food areas or around other guests. 

Rules of Guest Behavior

All guests must behave in a family-friendly and courteous manner, and in a manner that is safe for themselves and for others.  Violations may result in ejection from certain rides, attractions, areas of the Park, or from the Park itself, without refund or other compensation.  The following is strictly prohibited, subjecting the violator to ejection without refund:

  • Line-Cutting/Line-Saving. Guests may not: If you or anyone in your group leaves a line–for whatever reason (including the need to use a restroom)–then upon that person’s return, that person must go to the back of the line—no exceptions.

  • Smoking. Smoking of any substance, through any means, is not permitted, including without limitation, cigarettes, pipes, cigars, hookahs, marijuana, bongs, or electronic cigarettes; provided however that smoking of cigarettes is permitted in select designated areas in the Park.

  • Medical Marijuana? Marijuana is strictly prohibited on-premises, whether in the Park or in the parking lots, or anywhere else on, in, or around, Park grounds. If you have a medical marijuana card, this does NOT entitle you to have marijuana on Park grounds. Anyone in possession of marijuana, or using marijuana, will be ejected from the Park.

  • Offensive Conduct. Prohibited conduct includes profanity, cursing, making offensive comments or gestures, pushing, spitting, flashing of body parts, and other offensive conduct.

  • Fighting. The park does not tolerate fighting, invitations, or challenges to fight, nor the threat thereof (whether to an intended victim or comments, in general, expressing a desire or intent to hurt another person). You may also be ejected for any pushing, roughness, “chest bumping,” making aggressive moves (e.g., clenching fists, getting face-to-face with another, getting into a fighting stance, etc.), or other physically aggressive conduct.

  • Unruly Behavior. “Horseplay” is prohibited, including without limitation, jumping over any objects (benches, fences), diving or jumping into water structures, climbing on trees or structures (buildings, lamp posts, etc.), standing on tables or chairs, climbing up or jumping over barricades and fences, wrestling, playing tag or chasing each other, throwing items (shoes, food, rocks, sticks, rafts or inner tubes, etc.), jumping down stairs, twirling around banisters, gymnastics-like activities (kart wheels, flips, splits, handstands, etc.).

  • Property Damage and Theft. Any damage to or destruction of Park property (or the property of another), or theft of any property, will not be tolerated. Offenders will be ejected from the Park and may be held for authorities.

Photography – Personal & Commercial   

Personal.  Guests are welcome to take pictures of themselves, their friends and family, their group, and the scenery in general, for their own personal use.    However, NO cameras of any kind (including cell phones) are allowed on any ride or attraction, because such items pose a safety hazard.

In addition, no one is permitted to take photographs of others who object, or which violate another’s privacy, rights to publicity, or which are harassing, stalking, or threatening.  Image taking or recording is strictly prohibited, under all circumstances, in bathrooms, changing rooms, and locker areas; violators may be held for law enforcement, and are subject to arrest and prosecution.

The Park May Take and Use Images & Video of All Guests.  The Park and its affiliates at all times reserves the right to videotape patrons, and take still images, and to utilize those images and videos for any reason, including marketing, advertising, promotion, on social media, live streaming on the Internet, for safety and security, for documentation as evidence in a legal or criminal matter or other investigation, for news reporting, and otherwise in an unrestricted manner for legitimate purposes.  All property ownership of such materials, and copyright in and to all such materials, shall belong exclusively to Park in perpetuity, without any compensation or other consideration to any guest or other person in, on or around the Park property.

Commercial.  Commercial photography of any kind is strictly prohibited (including without limitation, still or moving images, modeling shots, student films, comedy routines, documentaries, commercials, TV news, major motion picture films, Internet soap operas, reality TV, actor demo reels, submission videos for reality TV, footage as part of a school project, documentation of stunts and dangerous activities (whether for commercial use or not), promotional videos, music videos, cable programs, etc.), except where prior, written permission has been obtained from the Park’s owner in the form of a contract signed by an executive within Park’s corporate office.

In any event where unauthorized video or images has been uploaded to any social media channel, Park shall have the unrestricted and exclusive right and authority to have such materials removed.  Any materials which defame the Park may result in legal action for damages, and the Park shall have absolute right and authority to obtain both temporary and permanent injunctions from the further use or dissemination of such material, in all channels and all mediums of communications, throughout the world, whether now known or hereafter devised, and to obtain all materials and obtain an order for the destruction of all such materials.

Food & Beverage

The Park has a wide assortment of foods and beverages available, including bottled water.  There is no outside food allowed. Guests may bring personal foods into the park, to the extent that they are medically necessary (e.g., for diabetics, baby formula for infants, gluten-free foods, or allergy-safe foods for allergies).

Prices and operating schedules are subject to change without notice.

All attractions are subject to temporary maintenance, safety, or inclement weather shutdowns.
