Paramount's Kings Island has a special riding policy for handicapped riders. You will need to obtain a special boarding pass at the Guest Relations window just to the right of the main entrance. To use this pass, you simply go to any of the rides listed on the pass and obtain a stamp with a boarding time.
This time will be about the same as the current length of the ride's line (If the ride you are getting stamped for has an hour wait, you will recieve a boarding time one hour from the present time). When it is time to ride, you will generally enter through the ride's exit (Check your pass to be sure) and from there you will board the ride before anyone else is let on. If you require it, you will be assisted into the ride. Wheelchairs can be rented just inside the main gate on the left side of International Street. Both manual and power chairs are available. A special parking area (with proper ID) is available near the main gate. The park also provides TDD service and listening devices for shows.
