One attraction, one result for each rider
The planner compares each entered height with an attraction’s recorded minimum and any maximum. Below the minimum or above the maximum produces Cannot Ride. Within those limits, a rider below a recorded conditional threshold receives Maybe. An entry flagged for further review also produces Maybe for riders within the limits. Otherwise, the result is Can Ride.
Maybe preserves uncertainty rather than resolving it for you. It may involve accompaniment or another condition. The planner does not match adults to children, check companion ages, assess restraint fit, or evaluate medical eligibility. Read the attraction’s notes and consult the operator.
The park percentage, step by step
- Apply your destination, park-type, attraction-type, and intensity selections. The participation view is applied later to displayed rows.
- For each remaining attraction, check every entered family member.
- Count the attraction toward family compatibility only if everyone receives Can Ride or Maybe.
- Divide that count by the park’s included attraction count, multiply by 100, and round to the nearest whole percentage.
Formula: family-compatible attractions ÷ included attractions × 100. Conditional attractions count toward this score, so it represents potential shared participation rather than confirmed boarding eligibility.
A worked example without using the ride catalog
Imagine a fictional park with 20 included attractions. Every family member has Can Ride on 12. On another 3, nobody has Cannot Ride but at least one person has Maybe. The remaining 5 have at least one Cannot Ride result. The family-compatible count is 12 + 3 = 15, and the displayed score is 15 ÷ 20 × 100 = 75%.
That 75% includes three conditional candidates. Verify them before treating all fifteen as shared activities. A score also does not measure how exciting the rides are, how long they take, or whether they are open.
Resorts combine attraction counts
A resort score uses the combined family-compatible count and combined attraction count across its included parks. It does not average the displayed park percentages. In a fictional two-park resort, Park A has 15 compatible attractions out of 20 and Park B has 8 out of 10. The resort score is 23 ÷ 30 × 100, rounded to 77%, rather than a simple average of 75% and 80%.
A larger included park therefore has more influence on the resort percentage. Excluding water parks, an attraction type, or an intensity can change both the denominator and the ranking. Destination selections also determine which parks contribute. A park with no attractions left under those selections is omitted. A park with no rows left only because of the participation view keeps its compatibility score. Sorting changes presentation, not height eligibility.
Choose destinations and attractions in Settings
Where lists all active parks in the current catalog, plus their resorts, states, and countries. Search supports partial names, case differences, and minor spelling errors. Select a suggestion to use it; typing alone does not apply a destination filter. Shared resorts and locations appear once per type, and states are associated with their countries. Already selected destinations appear as removable chips. Other filters do not hide active destinations from this list.
You can select up to 12 destinations. Multiple selections include parks matching any selected destination; no selections include all destinations. Park-type, attraction-type, and intensity selections then narrow that set. What offers roller coasters, water rides, other attractions, and Gentle, Moderate, Thrilling, or Unspecified intensity. Unspecified includes attractions without a recognized intensity classification; intensity is not a separate safety or eligibility assessment.
Participation changes the view, not the score
Who offers All attractions, Everyone has Can ride, and Everyone has Can ride or Maybe. The second view displays only attractions where every entered rider has Can Ride. The third also includes conditional candidates where nobody has Cannot Ride. These views hide rows after compatibility is calculated, so they do not increase a park’s percentage or change a resort’s weighted score.
In the 20-attraction example above, the Can ride view displays 12 rows and the Can ride or Maybe view displays 15. Both retain the 75% park score calculated from all 20 included attractions. A park can retain a score even when its chosen participation view has no rows.
Settings previews matching counts while you edit. Choose Apply filters to update your comparison. Closing Settings leaves unapplied edits behind, and Reset filters restores default selections for you to apply. PDF export includes the selected resort’s matrices using the applied preferences and participation view. A resort with no displayed rows cannot be exported; broaden your settings first.
Report a correction with enough detail to review
Use Contact Us and provide the park and attraction names, the requirement shown, the conflicting current rule, and an official link. Include the date you saw the information. Avoid sending children’s names or personal details; they are not needed to investigate a ride requirement. A report is a request for review, not an automatic database change. Until the discrepancy is resolved, rely on the operator.
