Upon an interruption of provided services, the first 30-45 minutes will be dedicated to necessary safety evacuations and identification of the cause.

You may encounter un-level ground, stairs, wet floors, gravel, dirt, mud, etc. All patrons must, with or without an accommodation, be able to proceed without obstructing the flow of traffic through the attraction. Patrons obstructing the flow of traffic or in any manner creating a hazard for other patrons, guests or cast members will be asked to step aside and or leave the attraction. In consideration for being permitted to enter the Property and to attend and participate in all aspects of the Event, and intending to be legally bound by this Release under the laws of the City of Salt Lake City, in addition to local Virginia State and Federal Laws, I agree as follows:

Further, I understand that the Event may involve significant risks which include, but are not limited to, falling or slipping, impacting objects or being impacted by objects, equipment malfunction, equipment misuse by me, other participants or employees, natural, mechanical and environmental conditions and risks, any of which may independently, or in combination with the participant's action, cause serious personal injury, death or property damage to the participant or others.
3. Release and Indemnification. For myself and for my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, I waive, release, and forever discharge the Management and its successors, assigns, officers, boards, employees, agents, commissions, and representatives (acting officially or otherwise) and Colonial Curse and its successors, assigns, representatives, directors, officers, agents, contractors, employees, attorneys, sponsors, advertisers, and volunteers (each an "Colonial Curse Indemnified Party"), from and against any losses, costs (including, but not limited to, counsel fees and litigation costs), claims, suits, actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses, of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, in law or equity, (collectively "Claims") arising out of or by reason of any activities relating to the Property and related personal property or my attendance at and participation in the Event including, without limitation, any illness or injury (including death), even if any such Claim is caused in whole or in part by a Colonial Curse Indemnified Party. I further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless a Colonial Curse Indemnified Party from and against any Claims by third parties arising out of my presence on the Property or my attendance at and participation in the Event.

I waive all right of inspection and approval and release each Colonial Curse Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of the exercise of these rights. I understand that I am being recorded on Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV).
6. Admission Ticket. Any violation of above stated expectations, law or any other inappropriate behavior by me (or potentially a member of my group) while on the Property or during the Event may result in revocation of my ticket to enter the Property and attend the Event, and I (or my entire group) may be removed from the Property at any time.
