Re: If I ran the park...

It's TGE to SFI. I go to SFNE and ride all the rides I want in
The kiddie lands a few without my nieces and nephew. I have been
on a great chance many times. I have been on the roadrunner they
just removed from SFGadv which is the same model coaster at
SFGAdv with no child.
The general argument is guests safely not having some random
adult on a ride with kids but these rides are easily observed
and you just don't sit anyone next to that adult. Thing is it's
easy to explain their safety concern to my parents it's not so
easy to explain it to a 14-year-old Autistic girl that doesn't
understand why she can't ride a ride.

I couldn’t ride the speedway ride in Timbertown in 2010 when I
was 9 years old.

I get the safety concerns but in a park this small if you have a
ride that is intended for families and not just small kids you
should let anyone who wants to ride, Ride.

It has nothing to do with the ride itself, it has to do with the
State of New York. 16 and 17 year old employees can't run a ride
with more adults than kids on it, there has to be a one to one
ratio or less for a minor to operate it. In other states 16 and
17 year olds don't have the same restriction.
If you are really adamant about getting on one of those
"accompanied by a kid rides" try to talk to a supervisor or
hospitality. Usually they are able to work something out to get
you on. Also, I heard from someone after HH harbor closed this
year that they will most likely be removing the max height on BB
this year.

That’s good, there really is no reason that that should have a
height restriction.

In NH you can't operate a ride unless you're over 18 a ride
attendance can be 15-17. you can get a work permit at 14 but
with heavy limitations on work time.
but the law seems backwards. A younger less responsible operator
can operate a ride that is majority occupied by younger more
impulsive riders.

That’s a good point, but I can’t see a 14 year old being allowed
to operate a coaster so they have to throw them somewhere.

The 14-year-old end up in simple jobs. smaller games. arcade
attendants, landscaping, things like that simple jobs. They are
not allowed to operate any ride. all rides have to be operated
by Someone 18 or older. At Canobie the majority of kiddie rides
are operated by Seniors. not teens and young adults.

Yeah that seems way smarter. I have a friend who started
working there this summer and she just did parking, so there are
places they can go.

At least make sure the 3 rides in the park that are
argumentatively family rides have operators over 18.
