using a cane at the parks

[sanveaz]

If this has been asked before I'm sorry, but I couldn't find an answer. I have a knee that gives out every once in a while, it's not anything I need a wheelchair for but I do use a cane when I walk a lot so I don't fall on my face if my knee gives out.
My question is what do you do with in when you go on the rides? It won't fit in the lockers. I've looked on Universals web site and in books and can't find an answer about canes, just wheelchairs. Thank you for any help you can give me.

You hand it to the attendant when you load the ride and they will get it back to you at the end of the ride. Some of the rides, you will be able to take it with you and others, like the Simpsons ride, you can lay it on the floor near your car. Just ask the ride attendant if you aren't sure.

thank you so much. i didn't bring it when we last went and my husband got tired of me grabbing him when my knee would give out. He'll really appreciate the fact that i can bring it next time.

I don't know if this will work for you, but when I needed a cane (prior to back surgery ten years ago), I typically used a trekking pole:

It telescopes when you don't need it.
