Height Restrictions Overview
Caribe Aquatic Park lists its rules in metres on each attraction page. Some attractions give two numbers, a lower limit to enter with an adult and a minimum height to ride alone, and some also list a maximum rider weight.
- 10 attractions can be entered at any height: six with no minimum height (Splash Port, Bahama Beach, Cayo Cookie, El Río Loco, Playa Paraíso and Sésamo Beach) and four that accept children of any height with an adult (Barracudas, El Torrente, La Laguna de Woody and Zona Indoor - El Gran Caribe).
- 12 attractions are open to children under 110 cm.
- 15 attractions are open to children under 120 cm.
- 18 attractions are open to children under 130 cm.
- 2 attractions have a 140 cm minimum: Ciclón Tropical and King Khajuna.
- El Triángulo de las Bermudas lists only a maximum depth of 1.80 m and no height rule, so its height requirement is shown as not listed.
Weight limits are published for these attractions: El Torrente (360 kg, per boat), El Tifón (136 kg), Mambo Limbo (136 kg) and Cyclone Water Coaster (60 to 180 kg combined, for up to 2 people per float).
