Please stay seated as little as possible, and keep your hands and arms firmly secured to your shoulders.
Please be aware that this is a non smoking ride but do what you have to because this ride will scare the hell out of you.
Please be aware that your health decisions may affect the people around you.
If you cannot secure the lap bar over yourself, then you will probably die at turn 5 and your family can collect your belongings at the help desk.
If you are sensitive to flashing lights and loud noises, then you have been warned.
If you think you may be pregnant then please hold on tight to the person beside you and look around to locate your nearest doctor.
For those who cannot secure your own safety restraints, please ask yourself how you ended up in this situation and carry on.
In the event of an emergency, please proceed in a dignified manner so as not to scare the children.
This ride will include sudden jarring movements and brief periods of free fall.
A sense of disillusionment, paranoia, and fear of the unknown is quite normal and should pass as will all things.
If you lose sight of your loved ones then calmly wait for the end of the ride where all will be collected.
If you have any regrets then it is already too late.
