Saferparks Online Park Safety Information Program
The Online Park Safety Information Program allows U.S. amusement parks
to share information about their safety policies with the general public.
This information is provided voluntarily by participating parks and posted as a public service.
Step 1 - Register as a Participating Park
- Amusement park representatives who wish to participate in the Online Park Safety Information Program must register for a Park Safety Information account.
- Log in to the system. You will be prompted to enter ther username and password you chose when you registered. Upon successful login, the system will direct you to the Park Safety Information Administration page.
- While you're logged in, the system will display your username and a link to the Park Admin page in the upper right corner of the main window.
- The Park Admin page is your control panel. It lists the park safety pages you've created; provides links to view, edit, duplicate, and delete your pages; and allows you to maintain current contact information.
- Please keep the contact information for this account current. The email address will be used for communication with Saferparks, including requests for help remembering username/password.
Step 2 - Review the Samples
- Saferparks has created a set of sample pages, which you'll find listed on the main Park Safety Information page. This is the page displayed when the "Park Safety" link in the main navigation bar is clicked.
- Click on the park names to view the sample records. Each sample shows a slightly different format.
Step 3 - Add Safety Information Records for Your Parks
- You may add a record for each U.S. park you're responsible for. The only required fields are park name, location, number of rides, type of equipment (amusement rides, water slides, or both), and information about your park's safety program. The other fields are optional. A small photo or logo image (300x300 pixels or smaller) may be uploaded for display on the park page.
- To add a new park page, click Add New. Once you've filled in the form fields, click the "Add Park Information" button to create the record. If the record is successfully added, the formated park page will appear.
- Return to the Park Admin page using the link at the top right side of the main window. Your new park page should be listed, along with links to edit, duplicate, or delete the record.
- Content is left to each park's discretion. This is your opportunity to share information about your park's safety with the public. Saferparks will not edit the information you provide, but a page may be barred from public display if Saferparks suspects the content is fraudulent or believes the content is inapproriate for the intended purpose.
Step 4 - Enable Public Viewing
- When your pages are finished, check the "Allow Public Viewing " box in the upper right corner of the Add Park or Edit Park forms. This parameter may be turned on and off at will by you. It allows you to experiment with format and content before launching your pages, and allows you to take the pages down while making updates.
- The main Park Safety Information page will eventually contain a list of links to all park pages that parks have authorized for public viewing. During the early concept demonstration phase, the list will only contain the Saferparks sample pages and any pages marked "Allow Public View" that are owned by the logged-on user.
- When a relatively stable set of park safety records has been established, Saferparks will enable open public viewing of any park records with "Allow Public View" turned on.
