So, we werent surprised when we heard that the first roller coaster at sea would thrill passengers aboard the lines Mardi Gras.<\/p>\n
The mega-ship under construction in Finland and set to debut in August will feature Bolt, an 800-foot coaster offering 360-degree views 187 feet above the sea with drops, dips and hairpin turns at up to 40 mph. A novel twist allows guests to choose their own speed.<\/p>\n
The coaster is the centerpiece of the Ultimate Playground, one of Mardi Gras six themed zones and home to a WaterWorks aqua park with three slides and a splash zone for kids with a 150-gallon PowerDrencher tipping bucket. A recreation complex features a 600-foot-long suspended ropes course, a nine-hole miniature golf course, a jogging track and a basketball court.<\/p>\n
And theres another milestone for Carnival: Its the first line to be certified sensory inclusive by KultureCity, a nonprofit dedicated to accessibility and inclusion for individuals with sensory needs and invisible disabilities.<\/p>\n
Team members, including guest services personnel and youth staff, have been trained to understand and help adults, youth and children with sensory-related questions or needs relating to conditions such as autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, PTSD, etc., notes a press release.<\/p>\n
The cruise line also offers KultureCity sensory bags containing items such as noise-cancelling headphones, fidget toys and a lanyard to help staff easily identify these guests to help calm, relax and manage sensory overload.<\/p>\n
