Ride or Attraction Operator Study Guide

Walk Through Attractions Overview

  • Walk-through attractions are popular and may be fixed or mobile.
  • Mobile attractions have more items to inspect (the trailer and support).
  • Corrosion, cracks, and unusual wear from moisture or freeze damage may be present.
  • Elements may be located at different heights, posing trip hazards or strike hazards to patrons.
  • Sharp edges are a common attraction issue.
  • Safety issues include emergency evacuation routes, which should be no more than 75 feet from the most remote point to an exit.
  • Exit doors should open outward.
  • Types of walk-through attractions include haunted houses, fun houses, mazes, and playports/softplays

Mobile Haunted Attractions

  • Structural issues may relate to supports and blocking.
  • Washout may be an issue around supports.
  • Safety elements - strobe lights or laser lighting, physical elements, smells or touch.
  • Actor training is critical, especially for evacuation situations, as actors should clearly communicate differences between normal attractions versus evacuation scenarios needed.

Funhouses

  • Funhouses are primarily portable or mobile.
  • Setup and operation may require a power source (such as a generator).
  • Operators are responsible for overseeing the attraction flow, not necessarily scaring patrons.
  • Structural areas require extra attention.
  • Support braces for scenery.
  • Scenery and other items that fold may be susceptible to rust or corrosion.

Playports/Softplays

  • Attractions are often meant for younger patrons, but some can accommodate adults.
  • Height restrictions and maximum patron limits are important.
  • Evacuation routes should be appropriate given the layout.
  • Padding for landings and walkways can wear quickly.
  • Inspection should include structural elements such as uprights, wheels, bearings, sheaves, guides, couplings, cables, gearing, shafting and other mechanical parts.

General Study Material

  • The study material aims to improve skills of amusement ride inspectors.
  • The inspector who signs the affidavit is responsible for the information.
  • Inspections by a team of inspectors require each team member to submit an affidavit.
  • Multiple signatures invalidate the documentation.

History of the Act

  • The Pennsylvania Legislature enacted the Amusement Ride Inspection Act in 1984.
  • The Act grants powers and imposes duties on the Department of Agriculture.
  • The Act establishes an advisory board and outlines civil and criminal penalties.

Location and Installation

  • Rides must be a safe distance from other attractions.
  • There should be six-foot clearance between rides and nearby structures.
  • Proper clearances and safe leveling need to be considered.
  • Rides should not interfere with utility poles, trees, buildings and other structures such as power lines and cables.

Proper Fencing and Railings

  • All amusement facilities must have fences to protect spectators and riders.
  • Fencing should be placed away from the outmost point of swings or aerial rides.
  • Slides, walkways and power units must be shielded in the interest of safety and from obstructions

Fire Extinguishers, Pinch Points

  • Every amusement attraction must have a functional fire extinguisher readily accessible.
  • Inspectors should verify each extinguisher is charged, meet relevant standards.
  • Areas with potential pinch points require particular attention.
  • Riders could be injured or killed.
  • Any hazards present should be addressed to avoid incidents.

Structural Integrity

  • Rides should be examined for damage or inappropriate modifications.
  • Cracks, signs of stress or excessive wear must be addressed before use.
  • Correct grade of bolts and suitable anchorings are critical safety factors.
  • Proper use of anchorings, braces, and guy wires should be ascertained.
  • Inspection must assess any bolts or pins with cracks or loosening.

Cables, Chains, Belts and Gearing

  • Inspect all necessary cables, chains, and gearing to verify operability.
  • Damaged cables, broken chains, or improperly fitted components need immediate replacement or repair.
  • Support systems must be inspected for safety, attachment, and compliance.

Lock-Out/Tag-Out Procedures

  • Safety measures during repairs and maintenance should be implemented to ensure that the machinery will not operate.
  • Lock out and tag out are crucial safety steps to limit danger.
  • Employees working must carefully proceed, considering each act and taking precautions to not place others in harm's way,
  • Follow any safety instructions and procedures to guarantee safety as well as avoiding potential accidents.

Inspection Joint Inspection

  • Inspect stationary joints for "egg-shaped" wear and loose pins
  • Check for corrosion and correct lubrication.
  • Inspect cables, moving joints, and welded structural areas for cracking and fatigue.
  • Properly check bolted, structural, and pine /keeper connections.
