The haunted hayride is not recommended for children under 13. Organizers say children that age should be with an adult, and they advise against the ride for guests with heart conditions, pregnant guests, anyone with neck, back, or mobility problems, and anyone sensitive to loud noise, strobe lights, fog, or sudden scares. Riders must stay seated, keep arms and legs inside the wagon, and not touch the scare actors.
