Everyone probably has their own set of do's and don't's when going to a theme park. It's usually based on what is witnessed by that park goer, personal experience or some other factor. It's always good to know what to do and what not to do so you can maximize the amount of fun you have and the memories you create. Here are some of my do's and don't's based on what I've seen at the local theme park, Kings Island, in Mason, Ohio. Also, I'll put some personal experiences I've had with those situations.
Do
Research the Weather
-Watch the local news forecasts before planning your trip to a theme park. Weather is an unpredictable beast and can unleash its fury upon you at any given time. You don't want to go to a theme park and suddenly look up and see black clouds scudding across the sky and feel sprinkles coming down on you. That means one thing-thunderstorms!! And if you're going to a theme park near the ocean, like Universal Studios in either Florida or California or Disney World in Orlando, Florida or Disney Land in California, then you know the beach and ocean are nearby. Storms can pop up like weeds being so close to the ocean. So it's good to watch the weather forecasts and plan accordingly. Nothing ruins a theme park trip quicker than foul weather.
-And if you happen to be in the park when a storm rolls in, park employees are quick to respond. That is why there are intercom systems throughout the park to make sure any important notices reach every set of ears. If there is a storm rolling in, employees will get on the intercom and say something to the effect of: "Attention, the National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. We urge all present in the park to seek cover because severe lightning, wind and rain has been predicted." This is the park's way of ensuring their guests are safe at all costs. You don't want to be ready to board a steel coaster and suddenly have to worry about lightning. Do the math; lightning + steel coaster = new take on the phrase "ride the lightning".
-Personal experience: When me and my sister were kids, we had gone to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We had gone to the separate park Epcot and was getting ready to ride the GM Test Track. This is a high endurance roller coaster where you can build and design your own virtual concept car and then test run it on the built in track. We were getting ready to head into the building when announcements about an incoming thunderstorm were blaring throughout the park. We couldn't go on it. To this day, I have yet to be on it. I don't even know if me and my sister would have been safe enough to ride it because I wasn't sure we were tall enough to ride it. A lot of rides have height restrictions only to ensure the safety of the riders. I would say that there was no threat to us since the ride was indoors, but lack of power due to a thunderstorm means if the power goes out, we're stranded until the power returns
Dress for the weather
-Simply put, if it's hot out, wear light colored, lightweight clothing. Wear something that is going to keep you cool. And even if you are wearing light colored, lightweight clothing, if you get hot, just jump on a water ride real quick. With theme parks, you're going to be walking around a lot and will get hot. Just jump on a water ride real quick or look for an indoor ride because you know they'll have AC. If you visit Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, my recommendations for water rides include Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown, a log flume in the Rivertown part of the park and White Water Canyon, a large rubber inner tube able to seat six people right next door to Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown. Indoor rides include Flight of Fear and Boo Blasters on Boo Hill.
-At Universal Studios in Florida, water rides include Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rats, which is the same type of ride as White Water Canyon at Kings Island only Popeye-themed. There's also Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls, which is a log flume. Both of these rides were in the Toon Town part of the park. Indoor rides at Universal Studios include Kongfrontation, where you ride in a sort of skyride-type car and traverse the world of King Kong, Revenge of the Mummy, which is indoors and in the dark partially. It's a thrill ride where you don't know what's coming (A cool fact is that there are real hieroglyphics written on the wall and they really read "danger", "warning", "danger ahead", etc.). Men in Black Alien Attack! is an indoor ride where you board a car and start shooting aliens with a laser gun (this is the exact thing you do at Boo Blasters on Boo Hill at Kings Island and previously when this ride was Scooby Doo and the Haunted Mansion). But with Men in Black Alien Attack! the cars will spin out of nowhere. The back story is that the Men in Black facility has been overrun with aliens and you must shoot them to save the MIB facility. But, of course, if you need to cool off, you can also jump on a roller coaster. That'll cool you off with a nice summer breeze. If you're looking for a fast coaster, head on over to Islands of Adventure, where all of the Marvel-themed rides are and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is located. Jump on The Incredible Hulk coaster; you can't miss it. It's green and massive.
-Personal experience: I've done this. I've worn dark clothing with the thought in mind "it won't be that hot." Big mistake. That's why I included this on here because I have done this. My sister's boyfriend gave me heat for it. Of course, he was laughing the whole time while saying it. I had a red and black Iron Maiden tee on the day he, my sister and me went to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. It was right after they had built their new wood coaster Mystic Timbers. The line was ridiculous because the ride had just opened and ridership was riding a high like no other. He told me to take the shirt off and he started laughing at the fact I had a black tank on. He laughed and said "you're the older sibling. You're supposed to be smarter." I told him that walking around, we would get cooled off and if need be, we can hit up a roller coaster or a water ride. He agreed.
Consider Your Diet
-If you have any sensitivities to food or any allergies to food, your first stop in the park must be Park Information so you can seek out any food places with food that will avoid aggravating said sensitivities or allergies. Just let the person you speak with know about any allergies or sensitivities to food and they will quickly point out the best options. Too much salt on food can make anyone sick; salt is an emetic, meaning it induces vomiting. For some reason, some people are not affected by overly salty food. The only downside is you get thirsty quicker. If you have a sensitive stomach and can't handle overly salty food, try and seek out a mild option for food. A lot of theme parks have nationally known chains like Subway, Chick Fil-A, McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.
-Also, if you have a sensitive stomach and can't handle overly greasy food, look for a safe option inside the park. Look for restaurants or food options where food is baked, rather than deep fried. When and if you talk to Park Information, ask them if there are any places in the park that don't make overly greasy / salty food. They may quickly answer your questions with a good suggestion. Also, it's good to ask Park Information if there are any gluten-free options since it seems recently, more and more people are getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease, a gastrointestinal autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the intestines and diarrhea if wheat-based foods are consumed. Luckily, all theme parks usually offer a wide array of foods in addition to the usual hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers and French fries. They will often have stand alone restaurants that are sit down and be served by a waiter-type situation or restaurants part of a nationally-known chain with seating options to sit and eat. And some people even prefer to eat their food on one of the raised planters acting as a seating wall.
-And if you need a quick sugar rush, there are plenty of cotton candy stands to knock that blood sugar up several points. If you are diabetic and have to take insulin, make sure you wear a medical bracelet stating your status as a diabetic so that when security sees your glucometer, they won't think it's a weapon because it has a needle to check blood sugar. It's especially important to keep your sugar in good range if you're diabetic; low blood sugar can cause drowsiness, flushed skin, heavy sweating in anyone, no matter if they are diabetic or not. And even if you're diabetic and can only get away with taking the Metformin pills, still wear a medical bracelet letting people know you are diabetic. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat something to keep your sugar up, but nothing that will knock your A1C up so far you're officially Type 1 and have to take insulin shots.
-Personal experience: I have gotten sick at least twice at Kings Island eating the overly salty food in the German-themed Fest Haus there. The chicken and fries have far too much salt on them for my comfort. I've eaten those twice and gotten sick. The first time I went, I ate pizza and breadsticks from Larosa's Pizza and I didn't seem to have an issue with that. I only got sick because I got overheated. Other than that, the pizza and breadsticks were good. I seem to have a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful what I eat.
Wear sunblock
-This ties in with the "not applying sunscreen" listed below. It usually doesn't matter what kind of weather you're going to a theme park in. It's always a good idea to apply sunscreen. Except if you are going later in the day, when the sun is not as strong. Most if not all dermatologists would say that the sun's rays are strongest between 10am-3 pm. These are peak theme park hours. Simply put, if it's sunny the whole time you're going to a theme park, simply apply sunscreen every now and again. The last thing you want is to get sunburn or worse, skin cancer. Sunburn is bad enough. It stings, hurts so bad that you want to say expletives every time you move and when it heals, you peel so badly only to have the resulting tan last only a few days. Just wear sunblock. It might be greasy, but at least it smells good and will protect you. And when you get showered off later, put on lotion to moisturize your skin because of being out in the sun.
-Plus, with sunblock on, your skin can heal itself of any major skin irritations like eczema, psoriasis, acne and more. The sun clears that stuff up. Dermatologists will tell you that skin conditions can be cleared up with being in the sun. They advise people not to use tanning beds because those are the bad UV rays. The UV rays coming from the sun are safer with the use of sunscreen. So, if you love theme parks, but also have fair skin or conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne or other skin conditions, put on that sunblock and let the sun shine on your skin. Those conditions will be no more with that beautiful sun in the sky. Also, even if it's an overcast day, still apply sunblock. What I've learned, the hard way, is that if you can get tan on a cloudy day, you can get burned on a cloudy day. If you're going to a theme park in, say, California or even Florida, where the sun tends to be stronger, up the SPF if you burn easily. DON'T USE TAN ACCELERATOR UNLESS YOUR SKIN IS TOUGH ENOUGH TO TAKE IT SAFELY!! If you burn easily, tan accelerator is the last thing you need to worry about. Even if you're fair skinned, think about how easily you might burn. If you feel comfortable lowering the SPF, that's completely your call. If you feel more comfortable about upping the SPF, again your call. You will be the one deciding what is most comfortable for you. If you're fair skinned and feel comfortable using an SPF between 15-30, that's usually a good range to stay in. If you are VERY fair skinned, and we're talking Ed Sheeran-level fair skinned, you might want to stick to SPF 30-50 and apply it more frequently.
-Also, wear a hat or some sort of head covering. Your scalp will not only not get burnt, but it will keep the sun off of your face. And if you want sun on your face, turn your hat (only if it's a baseball hat) backwards, but put sunblock on your face. It might make your face greasy, but allowing the sun on your face will clear up acne. And if a hat overheats your head, wear a bandanna on your head. Tie around your head in the way motorcycle riders do-where the bandanna covers the top of your head. It's not only less maintenance, but the lightweight material bandannas are made of will allow your head to cool off. Baseball hats are good and so are large brimmed sun hats, but they make your head sweaty and most claim it causes baldness. So stick with a bandanna. Put it into a triangle shape and tie it around your head in the way that the triangle shape covers the scalp and ends over the back of your head. Your scalp and hair will thank you. Also, if you go on a water ride, the bandanna might get wet, keeping your head even cooler with the water.
-Personal experience: to this day, I've never used tan accelerator. I used an SPF 30 tanning oil when I went to an IMSA race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car track a few years ago and the only sunburn I had was on my ankles, which I somehow missed with the oil. I got a pretty good tan. I was initially nervous about using a tanning oil because I knew my skin was easy to burn. It's only because as I've gotten older, my skin has gotten less weak and more tough with being in the sun. I've learned the hard way that your scalp can burn. If it's skin, it burns without the proper protection. I've discovered the wonder of wearing a bandanna and not a baseball hat. Anytime I go to a theme park now, I wear a bandanna on my head and put sunblock on my face. It not only keeps my head cool, but allows me to get sun on my face, clearing my acne.
Bring a clear bag when going to a theme park
-Most if not all parks are all about security. If you bring a clear bag, that makes the job for security 100x times faster and easier on them. All they have to do is look through the bag to see if there is anything suspicious in there. If they see an item that looks suspicious, take it out and let them know. They simply don't want weapons or anything that can harm others coming in the park. If you're a diabetic and are bring your glucometer with you, tell them when you get to them that you are diabetic and have a glucometer on you. Simply put, if you bring a clear bag with you, it gets you through security 100x faster. You can even tell the guards that you brought a clear bag because you wanted to make their jobs easier. They will gladly tell you thank you and then some; that you are making their job easier for them. Their whole job is security. They don't want people bringing guns, knives or any type of weapon into the park that can cause harm. Mace is also considered a no-no. If you have mace on you, leave it in the car. Same with brass knuckles or black jacks. Both of these are weapons. You don't need these for a fun day at the theme park.
Ask ahead of time if it's okay to bring in outside water bottles
-Most parks are usually okay with people bringing in outside water bottles. But it's always a good idea to call ahead and ask the park information center if it's okay. If it's a clear bottle and even if they can see inside it, simply tell security what drink is in it, like Gatorade, Powerade, water, Pedialyte, etc. If it's an opaque bottle, open it up and let them see inside. Their whole job is security and the last thing they want is people openly drinking alcohol and getting rowdy.
-Personal experience: I always bring a water bottle with me to Kings Island. It's large, see through and green. I always have Gatorade or Powerade in it and in addition to that bottle, I have my Kings Island Season Passholder green cup with me too. I have it clipped to my carabiner on my bag. They almost always know that when they see those green cups in people's hands and a water bottle in their hands, they are going to utilize one of the refill stations through out the park. I even tell security that when they see my green water bottle, I tell them what's inside. I usually say "it's just Gatorade, I swear." They always appreciate people making their job easier and faster so they can get more people in faster and easier
Call Park Information ahead of time and ask questions, lots of questions
-If you're going to a new theme park or going to a theme park you have not been to in a while, call the park information center and ask questions because if you have not been to said theme park in a while, things do tend to change. Ask questions about the best places to eat in the park if you have sensitivities to food or food allergies. The best places to eat in a sit down restaurant. The sights and attractions. If there are any shows happening. Park Information is your one stop shop for all things park-related. Ask them what security is like. Ask them if you can bring in outside water bottles or what the bag policy is. You want to ask ahead of time so you have time to prepare.
-Personal experience: I know, FOR A FACT, I will have to do this when and if me and my sister plan on going to Universal Studios in Florida and taking my sister's boyfriend with us. I will have to call the park information center ahead of time and take some serious notes on how things go there. From what I remember, they aren't too picky about the type of bags brought in, but I like to be safe, just in case. The last time I was there, I was a little kid and didn't have any bags with me. I'll be asking them what the bag policy is, whether we can bring in clear bags or opaque bags. If we are allowed to bring in outside water bottles. What the best places to eat are because my sister's boyfriend is rather picky in that he doesn't like hot dogs, hamburgers. He only likes cheese pizza, chicken fingers made a certain way, pancakes, bacon, sausage, French fries, etc. Considering how massive the park is, I'm sure there is somewhere in the park he can eat. I personally think that the only reason he is picky about food is because when he was born, his mother was high on drugs and that affected him somehow. Also, it doesn't help he's a former heroin addict; that can often affect stomachs. He gets sick to his stomach easily and has to take prescription-strength Zofran to keep him safe. I even tell him that, in a quick pinch, I can give him one of my Bonine pills (OTC or the over the counter for the unaware, version of the famed Dramamine pills but without the drowsiness). He always thanks me for having that on me until he gets to his medication. I like thinking ahead for others.
-I like making sure people are going to have a good time and a safe time, even if I'm the one sick, lol. I usually tell anyone that when I get sick to my stomach, just give me a few minutes and I'll be right as rain in no time. I just have to get over the sore stomach muscles and heavy sweating. I always joke that I wanted abs, but not from puking. I always try to make jokes about a bad situation to lighten the mood. But, as you can imagine, I go off on random tangents, lol. I really want to take my sister's boyfriend with us because I want him to see how insane the rides are there. I know for a fact that if I take him near the Jurassic Park Velocicoaster, he's going head long towards it.
Bring motion sickness pills with you and take one before entering the park
-My recommendation: Bonine. It's available at every store in the section for upset stomachs. It's usually near all of the Pepto-Bismal and upset stomach meds. And if your local grocery stores are anything like the Cincinnati-based Kroger grocery stores, this medication will be on the bottom shelf, near the floor. It's in a blue box and says "Bonine" on it. It's like Dramamine, which comes in a coppery or bronze-colored box, which is a well known motion sickness pill, but doesn't have the drowsiness that Dramamine causes. It even says on the box "will not cause drowsiness". This is your best option. These pills last up to 24 hours. Which means, you can take one pill before you enter the park and you'll be good to go. If you decide to take a pack with you and security asks, simply tell them the truth. Tell them they are motion sickness pills because you get sick easily on rides sometimes. Or just take the whole box with you so security sees what it is and already knows. And here's another thing to keep in mind: most if not all first aid stations in and around the park do have plenty of motion sickness pills in stock because they know people will get sick on the rides. Some people can handle rides. Some can't.
 |
| Look at that fabulous statement up top. That is the best statement ever! That's what you want to see. You want to keep from getting sick and you don't want the sleepiness Dramamine causes!! This is my #1 recommendation for motion sickness!! |
Don't
Avoid drinking anything
-You MUST stay hydrated when going to a theme park. Avoiding drinking anything will cause you to dehydrate and thus, get sick. Nothing ruins a trip to a theme park faster than dehydration. Most if not all parks will allow you to bring in bottles of water or bottles of juice to stay hydrated because they figure you're going to buy something sooner or later. As long you're not bringing in weapons or alcohol, they don't care. Security will ask what it is you have if the bottle is not clear. but just be honest and tell them it's Gatorade, Powerade, Pedialyte, water or something that's going to hydrate you. Or better yet, let them look into their bottle for their own peace of mind. Their main job is to keep park goers safe.
-Personal experience: my first time to Kings Island, I got dehydrated. I was wearing jeans because it was very cool in the morning, around low to mid 50s. It suddenly got dead of August level hot out and before I knew it, I was getting overheated. I, of course, didn't get anything to drink (stupid on my part) and I got overheated and sick. I was lucky I didn't get sick on any rides, but I did end up getting sick right riding this incredibly intense spinning ride at Kings Island called Delirium. I got sick right in front of the Eiffel Tower model and my sister calls it one of my "crime scenes" since I got sick three times in the park: This time (100% my fault, I take full accountability for it), another time in Planet Snoopy (this was not overheating or dehydration; it was the too salty food in the Fest Haus) and once more at Halloween Haunt (The Fest Haus, a German-modelled dining hall, had over 100 people crammed in there like cattle and I got overheated and the food was too salty and I got sick not ten feet outside the door next to a trash can)
Eat food and then immediately get on a coaster
-This is a recipe for disaster. When you eat, you must allow your food to digest a bit before tackling that nearby big roller coaster. Those rides can be bumpy sometimes and if you go on a bumpy or aggressive ride almost immediately after eating, you're practically praying for disaster. Your stomach will quickly refund your food all over the ground or on the ride. No one wants to be on a roller coaster or ride and suddenly have vomit spraying all over them from some doofus who just ate and couldn't wait five minutes for his food to digest. Simply put, walk around, let your food digest. Your body needs food to run. It's like an engine and food is the gasoline to keep you running. Just walk around, check out the rides and attractions and scout out what you want to do while waiting a few minutes for your food to get through your system. Wait about 15-20 minutes and you should be safe to ride anything. And if need be, eat before you come to the park. You'll save money and be safe from the food making you sick
-Personal experience: One time when me, my sister and her boyfriend were going to Kings Island during the summer, I had actually eaten before we went to the park so I was already full. By the time we got there, we were ready to knock out some rides. I feel like, for me, eating before going to Kings Island is usually safer because for some strange reason, I have a sensitive stomach and can't eat certain things. I don't have food allergies per se, but I know what I can and can't eat from personal experience.
-Personal experience: that same day, me, my sister and her boyfriend were getting ready to board The Twin Racers, a dual sided, "racing" roller coaster with two trains, one red and one blue, that can race alongside each other. Park attendants had halted the boarding process because they had to clean the cars. One person had been ill on the ride and vomited in one of the cars. They had to completely clean and sterilize that area before it was deemed safe to let riders on. It turned out that the person who had gone on was a kid whose parents had forgotten to tell people they suffered from motion sickness and gotten ill on the ride. I even told the attendants that person should have taken motion sickness pills. I take one before I enter the park because they last 24 hours. The attendant even replied that they sell motion sickness pills in all of the gift shops in addition to basic meds and candy for diabetics to get their sugar up. These gift shops sell basic OTC meds, candy to get your sugar up, sunblock, hats and more.
Drink heavily
-The whole point of going to a theme park is not only to ride the rides, but create memories. You'll have no memories at all if you add alcohol into the mix. Sure, parks make boatloads on alcohol sales, but you don't want to drink heavily and then go on a ride. You'll not only get really sick, but you won't remember how much fun it was. Park security is always on the lookout for overly drunk, troublesome guests. If it's hot out and you're drinking heavily, you're going to be sick in record time. Sure, theme parks know that rides are not for everyone. That those who get sick to their stomachs in the park all have different reasons it happened. Park attendants are very sensitive to the causes of why someone got sick. They don't judge; they simply try and help the person if they can. Also, if park attendants see someone is visibly, fall down and/or stumbling drunk, they will prevent the person from riding. A lot of these rides require you to buckle yourselves in and the attendants will come by to double check. A lot of these rides not only require you to buckle yourselves in, but they have special attachments coming down over your shoulders if the ride does inversions / barrel rolls / loops or large lap bars if the ride is fast with sharp banks that the attendants will help secure in place. You can't do any of these if you're so overly drunk your arms are like limp rubber.
-Personal experience: my first time at Kings Island, I got overheated and got sick to my stomach outside the scale model of the Eiffel Tower. This ties in with the "dress for the weather" statement. My sister's boyfriend had gone to the nearby first aid station to get a motion sickness pill for me to take, which didn't last long. It came right back up. Luckily, a park attendant was passing by and asked if we needed assistance. My sister's boyfriend Matt asked if someone could get this cleaned up. The woman asked "what happened?" and it was not like a sarcastic response where someone would sarcastically respond "she's puking". It was a very considerate way of asking "what happened?" as if she were genuinely concerned. She asked me and I told her it was 100% my fault. I wore jeans thinking it would be cool out and didn't realize it would warm up so quickly. I got overheated and of course, my mistake, didn't drink anything and I got sick. She kindly told me to wear shorts the next time and stay hydrated. She also told me, "just between you, me, your sister and boyfriend", not to eat the chicken and fries or pizza and breadsticks in the Fest Haus. Those were overly greasy / salty foods.
-My best option would be the Chick Fil-A stand in the Adventure Zone part of the park, the Planet Snoopy Grill or the Auntie Anne's booth in International Street. She said those foods were easy on the stomach. She even suggested the Panda Express in the Fest Haus. Their food was usually pretty bland and it would also fill me up with the carbs I'd need to keep going all day. She started laughing at this last statement because she said she ate there anytime she came with friends and she was always good to go. But she said her stomach was practically scrap iron and she could eat anything. She asked if I had a sensitive stomach and I told her I did.
Go all day without applying sunscreen
-If you're going to a theme park and it's going to be sunny, wear sunscreen. If you don't, you're opening yourself to the opportunity to get sunburn. As someone with fair skin and someone who says they are in a committed relationship with sunburn, I can tell you that even if it's an overcast day, never take chances. Always apply sunscreen, even if it's an overcast day. Wear a hat so that your scalp doesn't burn. If your scalp does burn, once it heals, you look like you have a severe case of dandruff or psoriasis and most think that's disgusting for some odd reason. Put sunblock on all exposed areas-arms, shoulders, legs, face, anywhere you think might get burnt. If you are fair skinned, but can get away with a low SPF, still apply that sunblock just to cover your bases. Not only that, but most if not all dermatologists would strongly suggest wearing sunscreen to prevent chances of getting skin cancer. If you're going to a theme park down in Florida or over in California, where the sun tends to be stronger, wear a higher SPF, just to cover your bases. And if you are fair skinned, don't even contemplate wearing tan accelerator. That will not only not keep you from getting burned, you will actually burn worse because your skin is not used to it. You will be as red as the Russian flag. Unless your skin is tough enough to tolerate tan accelerator, don't use it. And even if you are fair skinned, but your skin is tough, stick with sunblock so that at least you won't get burnt, but you'll also get a tan just the same as tan accelerator, but with out the redness of sunburn
-Personal experience: I've gotten the weirdest sunburns going to theme parks. The last weird burn I got was when me, my sister Jessica or Jessie as I call her and her boyfriend Matt went to the local theme park in Mason, Ohio, Kings Island. It was a sunny day and we were all in line for the newly built wood coaster Mystic Timbers. I had sunblock everywhere except the backs of my calves, the one place I didn't think I'd get burnt because the line was only partially in the sun and partially in the shade. Big mistake. Later on, I wondered why the backs of my calves felt like they were on fire and sure enough, I got sunburn. My sister saw it and I thought she was going to wet herself from laughing so hard.
Bring weapons into the park
-There is no need to bring weapons into the park. You're there to have fun, not create a new level in a real life game of Mortal Kombat. Security at theme parks is tight and they will not hesitate to call someone out on causing a threat. That's why you go through security upon entering / exiting the park. When entering, they will show you, on a sign, the things that cannot enter. Don't bring any type of knife or gun or chemical weapon (mace, pepper spray). They will tell you that if you do have weapons on you, please return them to your car.
