At Talbott Park, we will give guests the opportunity to stand up and stretch and walk around the trolley while it’s parked. Some guests with sensory issues may struggle with sitting in one place for long.Crew will be sit adjacent to (but not on top of) guests with sensory issues who engage with them on the ride.Before the trolley departs and families board, the crew will talk about the noises that will be heard on the ride (air compressor, rail squeaking around curves, bells, etc.) and what parts of the trolley they come from.We will board passengers on trolleys accordingly, spaced apart from other families. Dispatchers will ask guests before they board if they would appreciate a quiet, whistle-less ride with a short stop at Talbott Park (the half-way point of the ride), or a ride with regular trolley noise levels and a longer stop at Talbott Park.Our trolley crew will be asked to turn down radios and approach each family to make announcements while on the platform instead of using our PA system.Sensory Friendly Admission hours are taking place on Tuesdays (we’re closed to the general public) and Saturdays (we are staying open later for this event). We will limit tickets sales and the amount of families present during these special hours.(If you are looking for our General Admission or Special Event tickets, please visit ) Here’s what we will be doing differently during Sensory Friendly Admission hours to provide a better sensory experience for those diagnosed with ASD: This season, we are trying out Sensory Friendly Admission hours to provide an even better experience for children and adults with sensory challenges.
