Accessibility

We’ve broken our full Code of Conduct and Rules & Policies into smaller, focused sections across multiple pages to make it easier to find what you need quickly. This section covers our accessibility policies.

If you have questions, the Contact Us page can direct you to the right department or help with general inquiries. To submit a grievance if you believe you’ve been falsely or unfairly accused of a violation, please use the Contact Us page with a clear description of your concerns.

Colossalcon is committed to making our events accessible and inclusive for all attendees. We adhere to all state and federal disability laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Please note that while we strive to ensure accessibility at our events, Colossalcon is not responsible for the policies or staff of the venues we use. We encourage you to contact the venue directly for any venue-specific accessibility information. The venue’s accessibility page can be found on the Kalahari's accessibility page. We are committed to providing a welcoming experience for everyone and are here to assist you with any needs you may have.

Our staff is happy to assist attendees who need additional support to ensure they can comfortably enjoy events. This may include:

  • Reserved seating areas for wheelchairs, scooters, and mobility aids.
  • Adjustments such as removing chairs from rows to provide space.
  • Allowing guests with visual or hearing disabilities to sit closer to the front, or seating guests with sensory concerns toward the back.
  • Providing stage access through ramps at main events.
  • Offering assistance with lines.

Attendees who cannot wait in line or have difficulty standing may use our designated accessibility waiting area. A member of their party may stay with them, while the rest of the group remains in line. When the party reaches the front, the attendee and their companion may rejoin and enter together.

*Please note: while accessibility accommodations help ensure comfort and inclusion, they do not automatically grant front-of-line privileges. Our staff will do their best to support your needs within these guidelines.*

  1. Attendees with medical conditions such as seizures, fainting,  near-fainting, or other serious health concerns are encouraged to provide basic medical alert information to the convention.
    • Attendees may voluntarily register a medical condition with us to help staff provide quicker assistance in case of an emergency.
    • As part of this, attendees can also list an emergency contact or next of kin who is allowed to speak on their behalf if they are unable to do so.
  2. Even if an attendee registers a condition with us and requests that we do not contact 911, we reserve the right to call emergency services if we determine the situation is dire enough to require medical intervention.
    • Please note that it is always better to have access to EMS and not need it rather than need it and not have it. 
    • If an individual’s condition improves, they reserve the right to refuse service and not go to the hospital.
  3. All medical alert information provided to the convention will be used only for emergency purposes and will be securely discarded after the event concludes.
Service animals, as defined by the ADA, are welcome at all our events. Service animals are dogs or miniature horses that are individually trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities in a wide range of environments. Please note that while emotional support or companion animals are important, they are not recognized as service animals under the ADA and do not have public access rights. Please be sure to check the pet policy of the venue, as we must abide by each venue’s pet policies, and know that if a service animal is not house broken, displaying aggression, etc., it may be asked to leave. If you require accommodations or have specific accessibility needs, please reach out to us via our disability services email address or visit our Help & Safety Booth during event hours.
We understand that the unexpected can happen. When it does, Con Ops has a small supply of hygiene products including spray on deodorant, aloe gel (in case of burns), band-aids, hand sanitizer, and uterine hygiene products. Please stop by Con Ops and ask for what you need!
If you require assistance from your PCA during the event you may request a complimentary standard day pass at the Registration booth for the day(s) you will be attending. If you are a VIP and believe that you may need your PCA while in line, please stop by our Help & Safety desk so they can assist.
We provide a designated Quiet Room in the convention center for guests that may be overwhelmed or overstimulated. In order to ensure this room remains a quiet space and does not become a hangout, it is not on the convention map. Please ask our Help & Safety team for access to the Quiet Room and we’ll be happy to assist you. Additionally, the Kalahari's quiet room is located inside of Tom Foolerys Adventure Park, next to the Waterpark Front Desk.
If you have any questions about our accessibility policy or wish to discuss your needs at the event please contact us at HelpAndSafetySafari@gmail.com
