PARK 5, NC
First Contact: Automated machine. Chose operator.
Answering phone: Female.
API: Stated question.
Staff: Um, we do for, like, the canopy tour, you have to be in between 70 and 250 pounds. And it’s not that the lines can’t hold over 250. It’s just that, like, it becomes a hazard for the person doing it after that point, just because you are your own braking system, and it’s harder to brake if you’re over that.
API: OK. Well he’s right around that. But surprisingly enough, he’s a pretty fit guy. I guess I should weigh him beforehand and if he’s over, then I guess it’s a no-go situation, huh?
Staff: Yeah, I mean, like, unfortunately, yeah.
API: Do you guys weigh people or is it based on what we tell you?
Staff: No, right, yeah, like, it’s kind of your own discretion. But I mean, if he’s, like, more than five over that’s probably not a good idea.
API: OK. That makes sense. I’ll have him weigh himself when he gets home and after the holidays just in case, Ha Ha!
Staff: That’s a good idea. I hope he can come!
API: Thanks, me too.
Rating: 4
Comment: Like, If I lie and say he’s 200 lbs, then it’s our bad, eh?
PARK 6, TX
First Contact: Female.
API: Stated question.
Staff: We do, unfortunately. Um, 275 pounds and 6’8” are our restrictions.
API: OK. He’s just under both of those so he should be able to do everything?
Staff: Yeah. We have our challenge area and then our zip line. And he can do all that!
API: Great. Glad he can do everything.
Staff: Sure thing!
API: Perfect.
Staff: And now we have a harness that is actually plus size. And most people can, that are in that size and that weight amount, can wear them. But occasionally, we have guests whose weight isn’t as well proportioned on them to where it’s really hard to get into one of the plus-size harnesses. In that case we do have one other harness that we can use. It’s not as comfortable, but it’s a bigger harness. But we can always go to that, if we have to.
API: That’s good to know you have a bigger one if needed. Thanks again, glad I called.
Staff: Anytime. Have a good day!
