- Should the rides close the day of your scheduled visit (due to weather or any other reason), your paid Ride Wristband value can be rolled over to another date. Please note: Other dates may incur upgrade fees. Offer not applicable if rides open on your scheduled date.
- A valid photo ID matching the name on the order must be presented when picking up online orders.
- Ride Photos and Videos. By using a wristband, ticket, season pass, or MyBoardwalk card on a ride with cameras, you acknowledge and agree that you may be photographed or video recorded and that, beginning in 2027, images of you may be processed using facial recognition technology to help riders locate and purchase their ride photos/videos. If you do not wish to have your biometric data captured, do not use any ride with cameras. As part of this process, our third-party facial recognition provider analyzes photos/videos taken on participating rides and creates biometric representations of riders’ faces (“facial templates”). When a rider wishes to identify and/or purchase their photos/videos, the provider compares the rider’s facial template against the facial templates created from ride photos/videos to find matching images. This face matching is optional and separate from these terms. A rider may use it only by giving their own consent.
Our provider is responsible for collecting and processing your biometric data. The Boardwalk does not receive or otherwise have access to your biometric data. Our provider will collect, use, disclose (including to subprocessors or as required by law), and retain your biometric data solely for the purposes described above. Unless otherwise required by law, our provider deletes biometric data from ride photos/videos within 24 hours. If a rider’s photos/videos are matched within those 24 hours, we will retain those matched photos/videos for as long as the rider has an account with us. Our provider will destroy or dispose of your biometric data as required by applicable law and use commercially reasonable methods designed to protect your biometric data. For more information, see our Privacy Policy. If you buy or provide admission for anyone else, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms on that person’s behalf, and you agree to tell them about our ride photo practices.
