(b) The signs required shall be in sharply contrasting colors and be legible to a person of normal vision standing at a point of entrance to the ride.

(c) The sign required by this section shall read as follows or express an equivalent warning:

"Normal operation of this ride may be hazardous to the following people:

Those who are pregnant;

Those with heart conditions;

Those with serious back problems;

Those subject to motion sickness; or

Those with other health problems that may make them more vulnerable to injury.

The following people shall not use this ride:

Those under the influence of alcohol or drugs."

If any vehicle is missing the safety signage, the vehicle should be tagged "Out of Service" until the sign can be replaced.

(f) The owner or operator shall not post any sign that prohibits or discourages any handicapped or physically challenged person from using the ride, provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to any notice of manufacturer's requirements for safe use of the ride.
